I can't wait to be released from "self-quarantine" and really try out the new battery system. I did spent one night at a nearby cross-country skiing parking lot at 10,000 ft in order to test the battery temperature control system with the 20F overnight forecast. System worked fine at maintaining 65F battery. Overnight use was only about 10% of battery capacity, including battery heating, gas furnace coach heating, TV, lights, and CPAP.

The TransWest RV shop in Grand Junction, with WBGO service telephone support, looked from 9:30 am until 4:30 pm for the tank heating relay. I suspect they also worked on other vehicles during this time. But they finally found the relay under the shower, and one of the leads not connected! This is yet another issue of poor quality control from the WBGO factory found on my rig. They charged me $96 for their day-long effort. Great guys!

Not to change the subject, but I tanked up for the 100 mile drive back home. I think the attached is a sign from God to just keep on driving!

Is that $1.469/gallon for diesel? Dang.

Thanks for the mention of the Transwest shop in GJ. We pass thru there once in a while, and usually stop across the road at the Pilot for food, fuel, showers, a nap.
Are they a good place for repairs? Oil/filter changes? Sounds like you would recommend them?
This is a JIC question. Should we ever need service.

Early on, we had a noob issue with the LPG - the indicator said 1/4 tank but would not accept more. TransWest spent a couple hours troubleshooting and convinced themselves and us that that gauge was just wrong "don't believe the gauge". Did not charge us a dime. I am still looking for a better solution. I saw an unfinished video but Ron has not finished it.

My rig now has 15,000 miles, and just past the calendar time for the "A" service. They assured me that I could wait until closer to the 20K miles before spending the $400-$600 with them for A Servicing and not affect warranty. I did not mention that I had already changed oil and fuel filter at 10K miles using prescribed replacements. Not sure if that effort would void warranty either.

Also need to upgrade the handling. The additional weight of 4 big solar panels way up on the roof does not improve the sway characteristics.
