Waterloo, Iowa = Problems, Bugs, and Hot Sunshine!

 

We left yesterday about 9:15.  Man, Iowa is almost all farm land.  It also has some beautiful farm houses.  The roads are icky!!!


We are staying at Lost Island Waterpark KOA Resort.  I think the water park is closed for the season though.  I don’t know why….it’s so dang hot here!  High today of 99!  Ewww!

You can’t tell by the above photo but one of our galley slides wouldn’t come out.  It is a totally different problem that we had from the other galley slide problem.  We called Vanleigh, then called the manufacturer, Lippert, and then called RV repair!  RV repair came out this morning and gave us some bad news.  The motor rose up and the spur gear missed the track.  (Vanleigh didn’t use a set screw to hold the motor in place when building this trailer.). We contacted Vanleigh again to let them know the problem, and we have a call into North Carolina RV repair to see if they would be able to do the work. We will be in North Carolina for 3 weeks, hopefully the work can be done sometime during those three weeks.  In the meantime, our kitchen is a bit smaller! Hey, if I can’t laugh about it, I’ll cry! 😭😂  For right now, it won’t stop us from traveling.  I might say something different next week though!


We had some thunderstorms come through last night.  Why don’t the storms immediately cool down the air? Come on man!  And what is with these stupid little bugs?  They are about the size of a pin head and they bite!  Everyone that we have talked to in Iowa about these bugs know what bugs we are talking about but the people don’t go outside in the summer so they aren’t bothered by them!

Now, some good news! We found diesel for $4.01! Can you believe it? Oh but one little thing…it’s at Sam’s Club.  So yes, we joined! We have found that down this way there are more Sam’s Club, then Costco’s.  



We are here until Thursday, then on to Kamp Comfort in Carlock, Illinois.  Today is supposed to be the last of the hot days, then it gets down to 70, then 65 the day that we leave. I can’t wait!
