Good Friends Come To Visit In Their New RV

I need to catch up on this blog post.  We've been getting things ready for our trip next week to Quartzite.  The rv is looking good and I fixed a few items.  One was replacing the dump valve.  It was an easy fix and it worked great.  I had never replaced the wall panel in the bath after we found and repaired a leak several years ago.  We got that done and it turned out well.  That was really easy and not sure why I put it off for so long.  We have an irritating toilet leak from the toilet's water supply.  I took out the toilet and replaced the famous Thetford valve but that didn't fix it.  Next was trying a Shark Bite shut-off valve, no go on finding the parts here in Mexico.  We'll not use water the first night in McAllen until we fix the problem.  

Last week Kevin and Ruth arrived from Canada along with their friends from Belgium, Freya and Bjorn. We had a great time catching up and showing them around our part of Mexico.  We had great dinners together along with other meals, thanks to all who invited us out.  We had a wonderful conversation with happy hour every night as well.  

It was good to have everyone here and Kevin and Bjorn helped put on the decals I bought a couple of months ago.   This reminds me of the time we were in Hacienda Contreras in Valle de Juarez.  Croft, Kevin, Jerry and Sal helped us install our solar.

I gave the trailer a good bath with a wax shampoo.  I was willing to pay big bucks for someone to wax and buff it out but the three people who gave estimates never seemed interested in coming out and doing the job.  Their loss.

We took everyone up to the waterfalls and then down to the lake as well.  It was a lazy week, could have done a lot more but it seemed like downtime for all of us.

We are looking forward to our trip.  The SUV is ready to go.  It was time to change a belt, a hose, and a pulley along with an oil change and a liquids check.  Wish us luck!
