I have some things to take care of out here in this area including gaining confidence in the engine and My McVansion again. <br /><br />Then i'm off to Palm Springs for this coming weekend for some visits and then on my way to AZ - Ehrenberg, Q and then Yuma. When I'm done in Yuma I'll be heading up to visit some friends in Phoenix. <br /><br />I'll probably be in the Ehrenberg and Q area early the week following this week. Are you still in that area? Is anyone still in that area? I know Bob is in FL now. <br /><br />Cheerio,<br />EdEd Helveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995821240780553373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614053223603560475.post-18646139088922400682015-03-01T17:01:13.365-05:002015-03-01T17:01:13.365-05:00Glad to hear your back on the road Ed !!!Glad to hear your back on the road Ed !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354933489772745338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614053223603560475.post-66261586912446165382015-03-01T16:10:22.228-05:002015-03-01T16:10:22.228-05:00Oh Ed, I am so happy to read your news. And you a...Oh Ed, I am so happy to read your news. And you are right, David Hair is a genius at being able to do vehicle magic. I asked him if he could put a bike rack receiver on the front of my trailer. I arrived at the Walmart near his home and was surprised to be met by not only David Hair, but Dick Tracy and Brenda Curtiss. While we were all gabbing, David walked over to the trailer, was down on the ground looking under it and checking things out. It was 3:30pm. He designed it in his head, and by 6:30pm it was done, perfectly. Exactly what I had in mind. He is amazing. Again, so happy you have your home back. I KNOW how that feels.SwankieWheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458128398214149848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614053223603560475.post-25425651865924612142015-03-01T14:43:53.179-05:002015-03-01T14:43:53.179-05:00Thanks, Karen --

But, you are definitely on the list of places to go and people to visit, but not CO or IL with weather like the recent forecast you posted. I've done my time in snow purgatory. I avoid it like the plague now. I'd rather watch other people on TV as they shovel and plow out than do it myself anymore. <br /><br />Cheerio,<br />EdEd Helveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995821240780553373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614053223603560475.post-19181581250076169352015-03-01T14:29:48.749-05:002015-03-01T14:29:48.749-05:00Wow, a very long time to be without your home!

If you're ever in the neighborhood of either Sparta, IL., or Custer County, CO., you're welcome to stop by for a visit. We've had quite a few members of various RV/van groups come visit, anywhere from an overnight as they were passing them, to a couple of weeks. Most have come back 2-4x! <br />~Karen~http://www.facebook.com/krp1956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614053223603560475.post-46381299252338777482015-03-01T12:43:06.711-05:002015-03-01T12:43:06.711-05:00I don't have all details, yet, Rob. The actual...I don't have all details, yet, Rob. The actual problem and fix was found and executed at the other shop. But, it did have to do with the EGR system that they totally replaced. The EGR was suspect from the very beginning since the engine showed no signs of neglect or abuse other than the 21 year old valve covers rusting with one cover having a hold right through it, but not easily noticeable without specifically removing them. <br /><br />We all ended up knowing the engine was running in an extreme lean situation. But, couldn't find the EGR malfunctioning - even my mechanic back in VA said it was suspect when he went over it before I left for the west coast, but again, couldn't find it malfunctioning and the engine was running great and was getting better than average gas mileage on the road. <br /><br />I'll try to elaborate more when I'm able to get some more details. <br /><br />EdEd Helveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995821240780553373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614053223603560475.post-91291627833295902542015-03-01T11:45:13.483-05:002015-03-01T11:45:13.483-05:00I am really curious as to what the problem was.
