Power Problems

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 58 degrees, high 67 degrees, rainy most of the day

The rain continued today, but good news - sunshine is in the forecast for the next few days. A pleasant surprise for tonight and tomorrow night will be the lower temperatures forecast to be in the 40s.

We have a problem with part of our 12 volt system. There is not any 12 volt power in the living room slide area, and the problem seems to also be affecting our refrigerator. A 15 amp fuse was burnt out in the breaker box, as well as a 5 amp fuse in the refrigerator. I'm not an electrician, so I started out with a handicap as far as repairing the problem. We looked at our repair books and the Dometic book that came with the RV. Once we figured out where the fuses were, I checked them and found that the two fuses I mentioned were bad. There is also a 3 amp fuse in the refrigerator, but it is still good. I turned off the power, replaced the fuses, turned the power back on, and promptly blew the two fuses again. So much for that. We'll contact the dealer tomorrow for assistance in getting repairs done.

All of this bad weather is starting to make us a little stir crazy. We're ready to go do something besides watch it rain.

Whe we were in Fort Worth in 2006, we visited the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. The Garden is 109 acres of beautiful plants and trees in the heart of the Cultural District. There are over 2500 species of native and exotic plants in 23 specialty gardens. The Garden is just one of the reasons we like Fort Worth. Here's a picture of the Garden.



More later, be safe.
