After another long drive we arrived back at our RV lot in the Rio Grand Valley of Texas. This trip was just over 8,000 miles and lasted nearly 5 months. (Statistics tomorrow, maybe, possibly, hopefully.

Back to the title of this post. First problem was the battery in the Cherokee was dead when we unhitched and I had stopped on the street directly in front of our driveway. Had to turn the RV around and jump the Cherokee to get it started. Problem one solved.

Problem number two. When we hooked up the water to the 5th wheel ( we always disconnect everything when we leave) there was only a trickle of water inside the RV at the water faucets. Turned out the end of the green hose that connects to the 5th wheel was clogged with a grayish hard water deposit. Some scraping with a screwdriver followd by a good flushing og the hose and all was well on the water front.

Problem number 3 was the sewer hose. I had planned on shortening the hose before we left but is often want to happen, it was only a plan and not something that happened. Applying a utility knife and and wire cutting pliers then taking the end off the one piece of hose and moving to the other resulted in a much improved connection. Of course these three things were in addition to the many, many other things that need be done when ever we return from an extended trip. Many of which will wait until tomorrow to be accomplished. Till then…
