Electrical mystery

Friday we had to move to another site as someone had reserved the site we were on for the weekend. Everything had been working just fine until we moved. When we plugged in the electric it tripped the breaker on the park power pedestal. We thought it may be a bad breaker, so we moved to another site…same thing…moved to a third site and same thing. I spent the next two hours checking everything I could think of to solve the problem. It appears to be a problem, I think, with the plug on the rv. We can run everything off of the inverter and have been able to run the generator and watch tv. Made an appointment for Monday with a repair place to have it looked at.

I have mapped out or route for the trip to Tunica, MS. We did not want to drive across I-40 which would have been easier, but since we have two weeks to get there, we can take the red roads and see some country we have not seen before. If you click this map, it should get bigger. Capture

Click in this link and it should bring up the full size map. The cities marked are there only to get the roads down and are not necessarily stops.

This is pretty much how we will come across. With maybe a side trip here and there. We will be in Tunica from May 14-18th, heading towards South Bend on the 19th and getting there on the 20th.

Will let you know how the repair goes.

have a good week

love to all of you

Jim and Linda
