On the road again ... NOT!!

The whole last week was somewhat crazy with getting the coach house ready for our renters and packing up all our stuff into the RV again, but we managed. It has been getting pretty hot in the valley and we could really only work in the mornings before it was getting to hot. We had a really nice "Good-Bye" dinner with all our friends last Wednesday and started our trip towards Vancouver, WA yesterday morning.

Everything went well until we came to our first rest stop and the truck displayed a fuel filter error code. The truck was started to run rough on start, but as soon as we got up to highway speed everything was fine and the error code went away. By the time we reached George West the winds started up, but we knew that we were driving into a cold front. There was an accident on Route 281 and we got rerouted to Route 59 and made it to IH 37 okay. The wind was now getting really strong and even I had to drive with both hands on the steering wheel. By the time we were at the Brauning Lake area we decided to pull into a campground and call it a day. Doug went to a place to get the fuel filters changed and they did put in some fluid in the fuel filter and the fuel tank, since they thought it might be that one or two of the fuel injectors might be clogged.

We decided to drive on this morning and see if the "cleaning fluid" would help. We got through San Antonio without any problems, but by the time we got to Boerne Doug decided that we can not go on like this. So now we are in another campground and took the truck to a Volvo place to have it looked at. Of course, they are swamped and it will be at least two days before they can look at it to find out what is wrong with it. It feels like the truck is just not getting enough fuel, but we have no idea what exactly is wrong with the truck at this point. So now we sit and wait and maybe do some sightseeing before we head on. At least we were in a bigger town and not in the middle of nowhere when this happened and we have no deadline to meet.
