Camper Corral is a local RV repair service in Sebring and they sent a repairman around to look at the water heater. Turns out we had a burnt wire on the back of heater element. It looks as if the wire back to the 15 amp circuit breaker is defective and that means they will have to run a new wire if we want the option of heating water with electricity. The repairman suggests we might be better off taking our motorhome back to Lazy Days in Tampa and have them run the wire. I talked to Fleetwood customer service this morning and explained our situation to them. Our coach is no longer on warranty so they may not cover the repair costs. As it stands right now we will continue using propane to heat our water until Fleetwood decides what if any action they will take regarding repair costs.
We had a great time at pickleball yesterday. We both played in the morning and then I went back again for a couple hours of advanced play at 1 pm. Great games and great people too! The new rules for playing seem to be going over alright. I don't think anyone sat out for more than 5 minutes at a time this morning.
Chris heads back to Ottawa tomorrow afternoon for 3 weeks of work before returning to Sebring on Dec 5th. The other day, she learned that she is off work over Christmas now which came as a surprise, so we'll be looking to book her another trip to Florida over the Christmas period. She certainly isn't complaining about an unexpected trip to the sunny south and neither am I.
Weather has been great all week. Sunny and hot with temps around 80F during the day and down to the mid 60sF at night. Haven't seen a lick of rain in almost a week now.
