I took the beast for a test drive to Camping World to get a new water saving shower head for when boondocking and a dash fan.  I then went to get an LOF (lube, oil, filter).  No leaks, no squealing belts, the beast is ready to move on down south.  I’ll be leaving here 11/8, meanwhile I’m going to relax (that’s the plan).

​When I arrived at my Aromas CA camp, my new fan clutch was waiting.  A quick job putting it in, NOT!  As I began, I notice the water pump shaft had worn bearings, so I ordered a new pump.  Then I noticed the smog pump needed replacing.  How did I make it this far?!  I got it all back together and replaced the coolant when I noticed a leak.  I had to take it all apart again.  This morning, I’m going to put the coolant back in, again.  All part of the adventure.

I am now camped at Delta Shores Resort and Marina, with full hook-ups, located on the Mokelumne River in the heart of the Sacramento Delta Region.  I’ll be here a week and then it’s on to Aromas CA.
