After a great rally , we are making our way home . There were several Bird owners who were familiar with Barth. It was definitely a hit at the rally. It gets good comments everywhere we go . Thumbs Up

Three more days until we get back home . Next trip will be the second week of November. Going to Arkansas to Jeep around the mountains watching the leaves change color Smiler

Happy Motoring Tooling Along

White is a color! Currently in northern Wisconsin with family. It’s snowing with a 20 mph wind and 27 degrees. Leaves were at peak yesterday. Great drive over. Cards and tasty adult beverages.

Cleaned up the tail light wiring and switched to LED lights . Added a turn only circuit while I was there . I used trailer junction boxes to tie everything together.

Generator update . The generator install Mechanic on the trailer didn't work out. With the rear mounted radiator too much heat was directed at the generator and it would overheat . Worked fine stationary, but overheats running down the road.
I was able to get the onboard Dometic Kyawatt generator running smooth and replaced the leaking exhaust system . It works great now . Smiler

The generator on the trailer was good in theory , but just wouldn't work in reality. We'll just call that a failed experiment Eeker

Enjoying a nice stay at Kirby Landing on Lake Greeson in Arkansas Smiler
The coach made the trip up with no problems . Yesterday the weather was a little rough with heavy rain , hail and high winds . The tornadoes missed us by a few miles . One tried to form over our head , but moved on to the east before dropping down . Being trained storm spotters , we had a close eye on the storms . We took the Jeep down some Forrest Service roads in the Ouachita Mountains and got it a little dirty Tooling Along .

Overall , having a great time Thumbs Up

Sure Harold rub it in! This was my view this morning. Heart attack snow heavier than cement. We are hoping to let solar clear this round if I can get out with the truck.

We spent a few days in Booneville Arkansas visiting friends . The coach performed well , we just took it nice and slow up and down the steep hills on Arkansas 27 . Going slow doesn't really bother us , if we are in the coach then we aren't in a hurry Smiler

Looking forward to making many more trips in the near future Tooling Along

Seems like your pup was a pocket dog last we saw it. It’s grown up. Glad your getting out. I have trouble slowing down ever!
