Getting Ready


Less than 1 month before I leave Tucson and lots to do. Yesterday, I just happened to notice a screw sticking out of my truck tire; must have run over it recently. The tire wasn't leaking but I brought the truck into the shop today to have the hole plugged; can't be over prepared when getting ready to tow a trailer on a long trip. With that in mind, I'm having the fuel filter changed even though the computer indicates it has 45% life remaining. Evidently the fuel pump in my truck is under the hood (as opposed to being in the fuel tank or towards the back). As a result, the pump works hard to pull fuel into the engine; it only takes a small obstruction to shut down the engine and be stranded somewhere.

I'm waiting to hear from LazyDays RV about the window covers on my Airstream; they have a slight crack but are under warranty so Airstream will replace them for free. Hope they come in before I leave.

I'm waffling between storing the Airstream in Tucson, Denver, or somewhere in between. Since I'll be returning to Denver before driving to Maryland, I'm leaning towards storing it in the Denver area. The storage location is important for when I return from Maryland in September and decide to either take the Airstream on the road again or sell it.

Lots to do but its all good:)
