It isn't a perfect day, but it is warm. The high was 27 C and muggy.
When we gassed up in Natchez, I left the gas cap behind. So we dropped by an auto parts store (Reilly's) to pick up a new one. At the same time, I borrowed a steering wheel puller tool kit.
Back at the motorhome, the gas cap replacement was easy. Then came the steering wheel pull. Ya gotta have the right tools and this made the job go so much better. After getting the steering wheel off, I got at the culprit of my problem...the hazard lights switch which is part of the turn signal switch assembly. I was able to dismantle the switch and re-tension the switch contacts. Now we have our hazards lights working again. That little job probably saved us a few hundred dollars that a dealer/mechanic would have charged for the labor and parts.
While I was in the area, I also added a turn signal chime that dings whenever the turn signals are on. Very helpful when you are in a noisy driver's area with AC fans blowing to keep cool and the tunes are playing.
We returned the loaner tool set today and we are sitting outside the DQ checking for mail and updating the blog. Sorry...no pic of the DQ.
We signed onto a site that joins people wanting to travel into Mexico together. This is the same place run by the couple who wrote the book on camping in Mexico, that is considered the bible for RVers in Mexico.
