We were on our way back from a trip,(Denver-Portland,Or). Somewhere around Lymon,Wy we stopped for the nite in a KOA. Our Gen set quit on this trip and with the COLD temps we needed power fer recharge. Anyway all is well watched some DVR TV and rang in the New Year quietly. 4:00 AM and NO PROPANE. Back-up 30# bottle wasn't closed so it was empty as well. It's 22*F BELOW. Fire it up and go. (Thank God for the block heater). Drive one block and realise that the motor is heating up and no heat from it up front. I hadn't checked the Anti-Freeze freeze point. Run/shutdown, run/shutdown, TWO HOURS LATER we made it to the T/A Truck stop. (it was only 10 miles). They let us set in the shop for 1 hour to thaw out, but wouldn't do anything else.Got back out on the freeway and the rads still had some frozen spots. Managed to go 40 MPH up to Little America. They removed 5 gallons and refilled with Cat. Red 50/50 antifreeze. That being finished we pulled around to the propane and filled. $2.99 a Gal.After 7 hours+ without heat it was heaven. Water had long ago froze and stayed that way until this morning. I have two ducts from the furnace to keep the water + Related from freezing. Got back after dark so decided to pull in foward instead of turning around and backing in. 2 FOOT of snow where I park. Found my cord and pluged in, Plugged in the Sat dish and Trip's over/Life's good. Now this morning I have to clean 3000 some miles of Mag-Chloride/Snow crap/ Detroit leakage off of the Toad. Oh yeah, got the bus stuck, have to shovel it out.With a start to the New Year like this the rest of the year HAS to be better...We love this life and wouldn't trade it for love or money.Happy New YearDon & Sheila
Hmmm, Rhubarb wine in Minnesota...Well, it does have to smell better than the neighbors who are making ludefisck. I'll bet dollars to donuts it tastes about a thousand times better too!
