Settling In

We've been busy learning our way around this huge complex. We played pickleball yesterday morning and had a great time. People seem really friendly. We also took a drive around Sebring yesterday afternoon. Managed to get the Vue washed and vacuumed at a custom car wash. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Chris says the Walmart is great too.

Our water heater has been acting up since we left Canada. Propane works fine to heat the water but the electric option is not working. I called a local RV repair place and they came over around noon today to have a look at it. The tech found a burnt wire on the element at the rear of the tank which is very odd. The 15 amp circuit breaker protecting the heater has not tripped so something is definitely not right. The tech repaired the wiring but now we can't figure why there is no power past the breaker. He called Fleetwood and obtained a bunch of information from them. The tech will come back on Monday to sort the problem for good hopefully.

We'll be up for more pickleball tomorrow morning. Bob and Cathy Hughes took Rich, Donna and both of us over to the tennis courts last night and gave us some lessons. It was a lot of fun but will definitely take some time to get the hang of it. Hoping to try out the pool tomorrow as well.

Weather has improved over the last two days. Temps have been in the high 80s under clear blue skies.
