Ah....
Ghetto RV rentals inc.
Everything seemed to go fine for a time after we arrived, but then....
In the middle of the night on Wednesday...
BEEP!....
BEEP!....
"What could THAT possibly be?"
I got up and turned a light on, but the house battery had been run down so low that I couldn't see anything. Fired the genset up, ahh...light. Now, where's that infernal beeping coming from? I looked all around and couldn't find a thing. Funny thing was, the beeping stopped. Oh well, back to bed. The next night, same thing.
Friday night, well, I ended up staying by the fire 'til 4:30am with Jeff Allen and a couple of youngsters kinda makin' goo-goo eyes at each other :p so I didn't think anymore about it until I tried to sneak in. Turned the bathroom light on and,
BEEP!.......
BEEP!......
Finished what I had started, and turned the light off. No more beep.
Saturday I got up and turned another light on and, you guessed it, BEEP!
Hunted it down until I found the carbon monoxide detector. Hmmm. Sounds like a 'low battery' beep. started the truck and low and behold, no more beep.
It seems as though when the house battery in the RV reached about 8 volts (remember the dim lights?) the detector would politely let us know! Got back on Sunday and hunted the battery down. "Boy these cells look low!" Took 48 oz. of water to top it back up. Told the guy back at the RV place the story and he knocked half of the generator hours off of the bill, as well as didn't give me any troble for tweaking the rear bumper more than it was already tweaked. Oh yeah, another lesson,

All in all I'd say the whole thing was worth it. I mean after all, look at the funny stories!
