We got up early and hitched up. With the new command module hooked up, we headed out on a test drive to see what error messages we would get. On our first quick run, I saw the DF DEAD message flicker on briefly. That meant the Driver Side Front Sensor was malfunctioning. We took it out for a longer run, and that error message kept flickering on and off, signally a probable connection issue.
Back at New Horizons, Ken U. raised the trailer wheels on the Big Foot. He soon showed us the "dead" sensor. The wire where it connected to the sensor was frayed or burned looking, clearly the source of the problem. A few minutes later, new sensor installed, we made another test drive. Everything reported working fine!
Just after 11:00 a.m. we were on the road, I-70 westbound that is, and headed off for our next adventure. We stopped for the night at a rest area near Grainfield, KS. Like most Kansas rest areas, it has a special loop dedicated for RVs, including a dump station.
When Ken started to put out the slides, he was horrified to see the floor covered with water and ice cubes! The freezer door had come open, and the ice cube trays and bin had fallen out. Ice cubes were melting everywhere!
After a bit of cleanup, we got set up and headed out to walk. The day was sunny and clear, but the wind was fierce. Occasionally I was blown a bit sideways even.
I decided to take some photos of Kansas. This is just what a lot of it looks like!
Back at the trailer, we fixed dinner and made plans for tomorrow.
