Another cold day!

Well we woke up to another very cold day. Temps were 24 with the wind blowing. It’s very cold outside and lots to be done. We got dressed and headed over to the local RV Parts store to see about getting parts for the furnace and Ms. Southwind.

Well they didn’t have the parts we needed but they gave us 2 other places to try. One was only open on Saturdays. We headed over to reliable to see if they had a ignition switch in stock that would fit. The said they did but we’d have to wait a bit for it to arrive. No problem we’d gladly wait. Well we got the part and headed back home, uh oh on the way home i kept saying how you had to push in to turn it and on Ms. Southwind we’ve never done that. It didn’t dawn on either of us that Ms. Southwind looks completely different until we got home and looked. Duh it’s not the right one. I called reliable and they said to bring it back. The parts guy said to get the vin number and call them they’d have to order one.

On the way home hubby decided we’d stop by O’reilly’s and see if they had one .. yep they did and it was much cheaper then reliable. Once we got home it appears it’s the same one but hubby decided since the other one is working after he tried his trick to leave it in until we need the other one. (I hope this doesn’t come back to bite us later) We also got more gas in the cans and put them in Ms. Southwind. We started her up and pulled her up a bit. Then we went to Wal-mart to get heat and oil.

Since i wasn’t in any mood to cook again today we bought frozen pizza for dinner and spent our evening mapping out our route. The plan is to pack the car up tomorrow as it’s suppose to be warmer and head out early on Monday.

Hope your all having a great weekend .. Today has been a better day for us … until next time …..
