Several events

Well we got the diagnosis on both the  RV generator and the transmission pump.  We have a part # and an appointment in Henderson, CO on July 1st to replace the fuel pump on the RV generator.  The tranny pump on the Jeep is another story. We did stay in the parking lot of Camping World in Bowling Green another night.  I will tell you that the service there was outstanding!  They went way out of their way to help us determine the problems and possible solutions.  They also are getting us the tranny pump part # and hopefully we can get it replaced at a Camping World in the Denver area.  It could be the pump or we could just be low on tranny fluid.  Why not just check the fluid level, you say?  Because in a 2011 Jeep Liberty there is no dip stick to check this fluid.  What? Really?  So I have a "just drive in and we'll check it"  appointment in Independence, MO Thursday this week.  Yes, we will were planning to be in Independence then. Or it could be the pump.  Once I find out if the fluid level is OK I may order the pump and have it sent to Camping World in Denver and we'll have it changed after we see Daniel.

In the mean time we can still tow the Jeep as long as it is in neutral and the engine is running.  On the plus side it means we can ride together in the RV.  This makes communication much easier.  It also means we don't both have to drive all the time.  The down side is we are burning gas in the Jeep while it is in tow...less gas than if we were driving it but still burning gas.

We wanted to see the St. Louis Cardinals play the Texas Rangers in St. Louis on Sunday evening.  So we got up early Sunday morning and made the uneventful trip to St. Louis.  See the next post for more on that.
