New Water Pump

Yesterday morning was spent fixing the remaining problems with our water system. I called the RV repair guy for the area - Mark Jacobs - and he came out to our location at the Fairgrounds within the hour:


It didn't take him long to discover that the water pump was a dead soldier and he replaced it with a new Shurflo pump - probably our 5th or 6th water pump since we purchased the fifth wheel in 2008. I'm not sure why we are so hard on the pumps or why they don't last. I do know that the cost is lower today than it was the last time we replaced it. We also had the water line repaired that was causing us to shut down the water system entirely for one whole day:


We hope we are done with RV repairs for now - except for the lug replacement scheduled for Tuesday AM which is not my financial responsibility.

Kristine and Philo came over for breakfast and we took another nice drive to a different area. It is such beautiful country in this part of Washington. We stopped at the "Kettle Falls" on the way home to satisfy our curiosity of why the city was named Kettle Falls:



Today should be the first day out of the last several that we don't have any issues with the RV. We are ready for a problem free day. We are enjoying our time here with Kristine, Philo and his son, Cameron, although he has been in school each day and has missed our drives around the area. Maybe we can somehow make up for that today...
