[Day 9] Visiting Brighton Beach, Dealing With More RV Troubles

We took a family trip out to Brighton Beach, in New York City. But, it was also a day of dealing with RV mechanical issues. Another problem showed up, but the good news is that by the end of the day, I made headway.

[Day 8] Visiting Natural History Museum in NYC, And Leaking Generator Fuel Lines (arrgh)

[Day 7] Traveling to Liberty Harbor RV Park & Biking In The State Park

We left Washington DC and traveled north to New York City, parking at Liberty Harbor RV Resort. This place is basically a parking lot with hookups.

[Day 6] Staying In, Playing RV Mechanic (sort of)

Sitting at Cherry Hill RV Resort in Washington DC, we decided to play it slow. Well, the family did. I decided to play wannabe RV mechanic and spend some time trying to debug crap that wasn’t going right. 😉

[Day 5] Our First Actual Destination Of The Trip: Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian

After visiting Washington DC many times, I still had never been out to Dulles to see the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. It is outside of town and it just wasn’t convenient at all. But, this time, we had a vehicle with us. So, away we went. 🙂

[Day 4] Stranded At The Gas Station?

On day 4 of our summer 2016 trip, we left the Americamp RV Resort in Virginia and headed north up into Washington DC. Well, that is, after getting stranded in a gas station with a dud starter motor.

[Day 3] Continuing North to the Americamp RV Resort

Travel day, stopping in the Americamp RV Resort, in Virginia. And get this… the refrigerator worked all day!

[Day 2] Long Travel Day + A Theory On My Problematic Refrigerator

We traveled from north Florida all the way into southern North Carolina. The KOA we land in isn’t much to look at, but it suits me well as I’m just tired of driving. Plus, I have a theory on my fridge and why it stopped working.
