Brake Test

We were up bright and early and out of our rig so that the workers could put it in the service bay at 7:00 a.m. After our walk, it was back to the customer lounge. We shared the lounge with Willis and Rebecca and Blayde most of the day. Bruce and Mary Sue came over too, and we all chatted. We made plans to get dinner together and go out to West Rolling Hills to walk around the campground this evening.

Meanwhile, Ken U. sent us out with an IR temp sensor to test our brakes and record the temperatures of the rotors. First we did some normal braking. They we did some more aggressive braking. Finally we did some really aggressive braking (although definitely no panic stopping). After each run, we recorded temps. The bottom line is that all of the numbers seemed to be pretty much in line.

When I opened the door after our return, I was shocked to see that our dining table had fallen and rolled partially past the island by the door. Some other things had fallen too. Clearly we've never done any seriously hard braking! Very fortunately, the table had not suffered any visible damage, and we couldn't see any damage to the island or floor or nearby woodwork. Whew!
