Idaho - RV issues update/solution

It's not often that we travel on the interstate highways.  We prefer the 'major' highways and smaller scenic roads.  The speed limit on the interstates being one reason!  Our top speed is 60, so doing 70 puts the rig at risk as well as increasing blow out potential.

In this case, we headed to Boise to Wilsons RV Repair to assess and hopefully fix our slide issue.

You can see that our 'bedroom slide is out, but the living room one is catywompus!

The short story, so we can get back to the good stuff, is the hydraulic ram that is under our bed for the bedroom slide is bad.  The seal has gone allowing  the fluid to just run through the system with out building up pressure to activate the other two rams.  Unfortunately, the fix requires us dismantling the bed to remove the ram to determine the size needed.   We opted to disable the bedroom slide - we can still get into bed, but have the other two slides open for living while we travel.

With the slides for the galley - left, and the living area- right in.  To reach the refer you climb over the counter!

We will get to wherever we decide to set up camp for the winter, or at least for a while, and proceed with the  repairs then.

Now armed with that information, Matt from Wilson's RV had us up and ready to go in 4 hours!   They are a great shop, did a good job and had extremely fair pricing.  If you're ever in the Boise area, and need RV repairs, they're your guys!

So, back onto the interstate we went.  I found us a campsite in Victor Idaho, so we could enjoy the 'fast' drive.

Tom had found a 'birding hot spot' on route, so a short stop was in order.  On the way out, we found this lovely falls.  Falls Creek is the campground, and this is the Falls of Falls Creek!

On the way to Victor - wheat fields

Victor Idaho is just west of the Tetons.  Sun rises over the tops of them to shine on the lovely little town.  We are both very attracted to the town.  Small, only a couple thousand residents, but a very good vibe and seems to be up and coming.   If they only weren't so snow bound in the winter, but who knows where we might end up.  After all that's what a big part of this traveling is all about.
