But first more drama

It started outside Thermopolis as we headed for Yellowstone, the RV just wouldn’t get up and go and if we tried to go up a hill it didn’t seem to want to get into gear. We called the service number but of course we were in Yellowstone over the weekend. Rick checked the oil when we got to Yellowstone and there was none even though we were told that it had just had an oil change before we took it. Before we left out of Yellowstone we bought 5 qts. of oil and added them. There were no oil puddles under the engine so we knew there wasn’t an oil leak. Look at me saying we like I did something. Rick added the oil and Rick check to see if there was a leak and he said there wasn’t one and that’s how we knew. So the first morning in Laramie we were told to take it to the mechanic. He pronounced it dead and we were sent a new RV. Thankfully we were in Laramie to visit my friend Bob and we were able to take the dogs over to his mom’s house and leave them in her yard. Then we had a lovely day shopping downtown waiting for the new RV to arrive. The new RV was bigger and the layout was much nicer but the RV itself was falling apart. I think this was one they retired and needed to fix before selling because the curtains were stained like they had been left in a puddle of bleach water (the tie-dyed look not very becoming), some of the cabinet doors won’t stay shut (watch your head) even sitting still so driving with the doors flapping is a joy, and the shower door not on track at all at the bottom and falling off the wheels on the top. But the engine runs and it should get us home.
