Today was a "RVing sucks" day. We got up this morning to load the trailer and get on our way. When I went out to the trailer the CO2 alarm was going off. I opened up the trailer and it reaked of propane. I turned off the propane tank. This is puzzling because nothing that uses propane was turned on. The refrigerator can use it, but it should have been using electric since the trailer was plugged in. At least turning off the tank stopped the smell.
After we got everything loaded I moved the trailer a little forward and shoveled the extra crushed rock into the little pad I'd built for the low side wheels. Hopefully this will level out the trailer when it's parked there.
As I drove up the driveway, the truck alarmed saying the trailer wiring was disconnected. I figured no problem, just push the connector all the way in. I did that, drove a few feet, and it alarmed again. This was repeated several times as we left and drove out of the development. It was alarming continually as we drove down 1826. After we turned off at Salt Lick I had an idea. I plugged the trailer into the bumper connector. That fixed the problem, only the cord was likely to slip out of the bed and onto the road. Ellen had the idea to bungy it, so I did and it's working fine.
I haven't decided yet if I want to risk turning the propane back on.
We had an otherwise uneventful trip to San Antonio. The traffic was even halfway manageable except for a couple of idiots. After we set up we too the dog over to the office. One of the ladies there, whom we'd met before, spent about half an hour fawning over Lucy and feeding her treats.
Then it was off to the club. We made the rounds of the vendors and picked up a few items like clothing on sale. They were having those vendor signup things, so we got ours all filled out. We're not going to turn them in until late though.
