To Sequoyah Stat Park East of Wagner on the lake. 440 miles one way. Coach ran like a top, still stops more softly than I'd like, drank gas at a rate
of 6 MPG comfortably. Casualties: Water heather, furnace, microwave.
The water heater was running first night out and second night out. Heard it boiling, I suspect the overtemp tripped. It is cleverly positioned such
that you cannot touch it, although you can frustratingly close. A challenge.
The furnace clicks and spins up, promptly shuts down. Sail switch? I removed one covered vent and now it comes on and stays on for a much longer
time. Never heard the ignitor or the gas valve although they might be silent. Out it comes for correction.
Microwave worked for three days. Dometic Gee-Whiz looks to be built ON and COOK and OFF buttons plus a mechanical timer. Clicks on, power supply
hums when you get COOK pressed anf lit, food doesn't get hot. Out it comes, I may replace it. I want into that cabinet anyway, to place a vent
hood over the stove.
Water system works just fine.
Two new Coopers on the front and it rides/drives fine.
Oh yeah, Sequoyah State Park... highly recommended. Place was full, and there's LOTs of place. Interestingly, I was on the Seminole campground, which
after inspections is the newest upgraded. Nice staggered lots, everything works. You're on the lake. Also stayed in West Memphis at the Tom Sawyer
RV Park on the river. Right on the river - sit and watch the towboats go by. Laundry's free, discount for several including FMCA. WiFi picks s---.
They also have tree houses, they look really nice from the outside. Owners have English as a second language, assisted by a Good Ol' Boy and his
wife. They might be kin to owners past. At any rate amenities are Memphis close by and a clean laundry - bath house and really nice folks to deal
with.
Interesting observation - Both places sold out. At the Stat Park, on the Seminole loop, 3 motorhomes, the rest fifth wheel or bumper pulls - no Class
B/C at all. Driving through all the other campsites, same same. Conversely, Tom Sawyer in W Memphis, one or two Class Cs about the third fifth wheel
and bumper pull, large majority Class As, some in the million dollar range.
