It's just starting to get light enough to see that the rain is causing large rivulets to run down the roadway. The weather forecast is for up to two inches of rain today, ending at 11 AM. All I can say is, thank goodness we're parked on a terraced hillside instead of one of the more scenic sites by the lake, because those sites will be bogs by this afternoon.
We did make it to the campground by late afternoon yesterday. The leaking gray water tank was caused by a plastic valve that somehow lost a large chunk of the interior rim, breaking the seal. The staff at Myers RV in Hamburg, NY went out of their way to get us on the road quickly after we told them our situation (the rig is our home, we're not from the area and we're holding a cat hostage in the truck). The service rates are a bit higher than others we've paid, but the service and the friendliness of the entire staff made the experience more bearable.
Naturally we had to look at the newest motorhomes while we were waiting as a time-killing measure. Naturally we found one we fell in love with too. The Fleetwood folks have developed a 2007 Bounder that has a slideout that extends from just behind the driver's seat to the rear of the coach, which means the entire interior is open to view making the rig seem huge. We owned a Bounder from 1994 to 2000 and it was not only a reliable vehicle but it had everything we wanted (except a lot of interior space since it was manufactured pre-slideouts). So if I want to go back to work, I can get one. Hmm, I guess that's not going to happen! But it is a very attractive, well designed and nicely functional rig. I guess it's time to start buying lottery tickets again.
