Early this morning I awoke because I was hot. That’s probably not hard to imagine, after all, we are in Alabama right? Wrong! Since the kids sleep with the air conditioner on, I normally wake up because I’m freezing and though it may be hot outside, inside our camper, the temps are LOW. So, I immediately knew something was not quite right. That thought was confirmed when I peeked through my door at the kids and saw that they weren’t huddled under their usual mass of covers, but were actually laying on top of them. An unusual site indeed!
Upon inspection, I saw the air conditioner was on, but instead of blowing cold air, it only seemed to be making an uncommon racket. Thankfully, we do have an air conditioner in our room that we can use to cool the camper until we can have the front unit inspected. It will be much needed since the abnormally cool temperatures that we’ve been experiencing have been replaced once again with the seasonal high temps. Oh yeah, I should probably have the back unit checked too because it will leak on occassion when we run it.
And I think I forgot to mention that Sunday we woke up to wet carpet in our bathroom and bedroom. When my husband investigated the matter, he discovered that the toilet was actually leaking! So, what is the good news? It’s only clean water escaping, but the bad news is after working on the toilet for several hours and thinking that the problem was resolved, yesterday we turned the water back on and found that we still have trouble! Off the water went again. Thankfully, we’re at a campground that does have a bath house with nice, clean restrooms and we can always turn the water on briefly when I need it for cooking or need a drink.
Hopefully, I can get an RV repairman to check things out for us next week on payday! And on the bright side, I’ve been meaning to have someone come out to look at our refrigerator which now has a check light that stays on. I guess if everything was going to break, it's best to happen BEFORE I call the service guy, we'll only have to pay one service charge, at least to get him here.
In the meantime, I’m still thankful and still smiling (actually, kind of laughing at how things are going) because it could ALWAYS be worse!
