It was good to get back to this area. It kinda seems like our 'second home' area because we have spent so much time here. Our spot has a good view out our front window of the colorful Laughlin casinos at night.
It is a bit windy here, but that is quite common.
We visited with Donna's brother, Gene. He was having another yard sale.
Our RV Dreams friends, Ruth & Dale are here getting some major RV repairs. We all went to church Sunday and then had brunch at IHOP.
It is always good to meet up with friends on the road.
This week, our Jeep got some new shoes. And a much needed alignment. We chose Toyo Open Country All Terrain II tires. $$$ These should last awhile.
More RV Dreamers are in the area and we had a meet-up at Pints Brewery. Located in the Colorado Belle Casino in Laughlin, NV.
From left to right .. Me, Donna, Anna, Guy, Sue, Ruth, and Dale. Good times.
Laughlin is all lit up at night.
I think I'll be getting a Reverse Osmosis system for the RV next week. Our old one went with the 5th wheel. I'm looking at these two.
Good prices. We should recoup the cost before long. RO water is good and it will be good to stop buying bottled water and filling jugs at the Glacier water vending machines.
And, I fixed a problem we have been having with our Norcold refrigerator. After having some cooling problems this summer, I used our hair dryer to get the door seals back in shape. This worked great. I also discovered that the hair dryer made de-frosting the fridge a snap. The problem we have been having for some time, is that it has been getting too cold. Our food has been freezing no matter what setting the thermostat has been set on. In doing some Internet research, it seemed it would be the thermister or electronic control board. I found and downloaded a service manual for our Norcold 1210 IM refrigerator and discovered how to put it in diagnostic mode. The display showed all kinds of good info. It showed that the thermister was reading a temperature of 75 degrees right on the cooling fans. That wasn't right. It was covered in ice and frost. No wonder the fridge was running wide open and freezing everything. Then I found an item on the Net that says you shouldn't heat up the thermister with a hair dryer too much. Since it usually measures temps from 25 degrees to 50 or so, I guess it goes crazy when it is blasted with 200 degrees! So I bought a new thermister for 25 bucks, and it fixed the problem. Yay!
I will be careful with the hair dryer heat around it from now on.
Later....
Good catch on the fridge! I am looking forward to hearing more about your RO system. We have been on the fence and not sure if we should get one.
