Sweet Pickle’s Western Adventure

My two sons and I took a two week trip out west in our bus. We covered 9 states and approx. 4300 miles. No major issues. The fridge quit working unless we were on shore power, the plumbing developed a small leak and the faucet switch kept coming on by itself (I had “fixed” the switch before I left) so I drained the tank and disconnected the pump’s power. We did have an intermittent starter issue. The bus has a hard start relay, I plan to get rid of this, which I thought might be the issue and replaced in Williams AZ. However it kept happening a few days later so might be the solenoid. At any rate I just parked on slopes :). Luckily it only happened a few times. Here on some pics of the trip.

Pit Stop at Del Taco Oklahoma City. I grew up in LA and had these, had to stop for nostalgic reasons. My boys thought it was weird they served French fries with Tacos, lol.
