Woodland, Washington To Hillsboro, Oregon

Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
I’m currently in my 23rd year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here

Yesterday I drove the motorhome 55 miles from Woodland, Washington to Hillsboro, Oregon.

 

If you are a regular follower of my blog, you know that I have been dealing with an intermittent low power problem. Unfortunately, it is still not giving any codes for the computer scanner to offer any clues of what might be the problem. With no codes, I’ve only been able to start replacing likely parts. After almost three years of frustration, I’ve decided to take it to a Workhorse Chassis Center for a second visit.

 

I’ve been here in the past. The RV Technician “Red” really impressed me with his abilities.

 

So, I have an 8 AM appointment with Red this morning. I’m hoping with his advanced skills and equipment, He’ll be able to figure out the cause of my low power problem which is becoming more frequent..

 

I arrived yesterday afternoon. I’m parked at the back of the shop where I have an electrical hookup…

Depending on the work to be done after this morning’s analysis, I could be here one or several days.

 

Interesting side note from my visit in 2015…This was a first for me…spending a night in a car dealership. For security reasons, they kept the large lot greatly lit all night. It was like being parked in the middle of Yankee Stadium during a night game.  🙂

Harlingen, Texas Day 13 (GA354)

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
I’m currently in my 23rd year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here

The motorhome is parked behind Moose Club #2394 in Woodland, Washington. I’ll depart later this morning.

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

 

 

 

 

This entry was posted January 1, 2013…

 

 

 

Mary is at home in California enjoying the holidays with her family. She has made her airline reservations to join me here at Harlingen, Texas on January 3, 2013.

 

 

The motorhome is parked at Tropic Winds RV Resort and is scheduled to be here until January 10th. While I await Mary’s arrival on the 3rd, I’ll be seeing some local attractions, performing repairs and preventative maintenance on both the motorhome and Bronco, plus thoroughly cleaning both vehicles.

 

 

Since I’m an early riser and usually publish the day’s Blog entry before sunrise, I’ll have to show you the last sunrise as seen out of the windshield of the motorhome for 2012, here in Harlingen, Texas…

Hillsboro, Oregon To Woodland, Washington

Yesterday I drove the motorhome 49 miles from Hillsboro, Oregon to Woodland, Washington.

 

In yesterday’s blog I was still in the shop in Hillsboro, Oregon getting repair work done. I described running into a problem with burnt spark plug wires.

 

Here’s what they (all eight to some degree) looked like…

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A c;loser view of the damaged area…

 

 

 

 

I had bought them off of Ebay and as luck would have it, they had been shipped from Scapoose, Oregon, only 25 miles away. I contacted the seller and they agreed to honor the warranty and rep;laced the wires for free and only charge me $25 for the thermal socks. A quick trip in the Bronco and I returned with my new wires…

 

After the wires were installed and my paying a final total bill of $655, I was on my way. I hate going to dealerships because they are so expensive. But if this finally cures my low intermittent power problem, I’ll be a happy camper!  🙂

 

 

 

 

Passing through Portland, I stopped to get motorhome washed. The bay was so huge I was able to fit behind a fire truck with my motorhome and Bronco attached…

 

 

 

 

There was a sign saying all drivers must exit the vehicle before washing, but the next thing I knew washing commenced with me inside…

 

After paying my $32 wash fee, I was once again on my way.

 

45 minutes later,I arrived in Woodland, Woodland where I’m parked behind Moose Club #2394. I’ve stayed here in the past…

and the usual the dinette window view. Here it’s along side of the Lewis River…

I expect to depart here tomorrow.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the photos.

 Forecast for today is cloudy and 64 degrees.
