So, where did we end up?

Someplace I love, Puerto Penasco, Sonora, MX. I l always love coming to the beach, with my sister, Koko. We would walk on the beach, go swimming and enjoin the sunsets. But know I can only go so far and mommy and daddy will not let me swim in the water. Something to do with getting an ear infection again.

I love the beach, walking, and getting pets from all the other humans staying here.

By the way, we had a good drive coming down, we got stopped and looked inside by this young lady border guard and then we had to stopped and a young food man was going to come inside and look around until he saw me laying on the floor. He was rude, he back out and said we could go. He did not even offer me a cookie.

So we left and continue on our journey to Puerto Penasco on the new toll road. The road was good and easy on me as daddy drove. He kept the AC on, so I would be cool and comfortable.

We got to Playa Bonita only to find there were a lot of RV’s here. But mommy found us a spot and we pull in and set up and I got comfortable.

Daddy went on a walk about today and took a few photos which I promised him he could put in my blog. Ok daddy you can post this and let everyone know I am having fun here in Puerto Penasco.

Picking up where we left off

Well, dag gum, what’s been going on. It’s been well over 2 weeks, since we have posted. Even Della has stopped for a while. 

So, let’s get back to business.

First where are we, that’s a good question, our coordinates well at least some info:

2892 Crystal Lake Ave, Thermal, CA 92274, 33.330823, -115.950535.

Now for some direction: Coming from I-10, head south on 86 (west side of Salton Sea), just as if you are going to Borrego Springs. When you see the Red Earth Casino. Go 4 miles south and turn left on Mariner Dr. Stay on Mariner until you see sign for West Shores Marine and RV Park. Turn left. Turn left onto Ontario Dr. Then turn right onto Crystal lake ave. Go to end of road and there you will see over 20 sites for dry camping.

If you are in need to fuel, propane, water, dump, continue south on 86 to the AM/PM . Free water and dump.

So what is the draw at this time of year here? PPG. PPG, what the heck is PPG, you say? Power Para Glider, those things people strap or sit in and fly around.

It seems after a week of training and starting around $7000, you to can fly in a PPG and go to these fly ins. We heard from Irene that the Mercier’s and Caterson's were dry-camping here for a week. After learning of this area we decided to head out from Thousand Trail in Palm Desert to visit. Guess what, it has been over 5 days and we are still here.

Next thing we know Lisa and Norm roll in (well after a pancake enticement) and stayed for a couple of days before heading out to Borrego Springs. More on Borrego Springs later. But for now lets get into the photos shall we.

So, What have I been up to

Well for 1 thing, resting, as I did not like the way mom and dad left “Q”. I was very unhappy and let them know on the road to palm desert, in no uncertain ways. Some of which you do not what to hear about.

Once here, though it was ok. I no longer had to walk over rocks, and hurt my pads. Mom and dad have been cleaning and putting things away – something about making more room. They also order more food for me online (happy).

Dad worked on the generator, he replaced the water pump belt in less then 30 minutes. Record time. He took pics and stuff to show later. He has been emailing John and John in Q – something about batteries and helping from afar.

We have company, Barb, Sid, Don, Netta, Brian and Carol (Alfa’s) are here to. So they have been having fun talking and things like that.

Well it’s time to go and see what they are doing today.

Bye

TGIF

I don’t know what that says or means, but everyone around here is saying it.

So, what I have been doing ? Anything I want too. As everybody knows I am the Queen around here.

I have been having fun laying on my bed around the fire, getting pets from almost everyone. As I walk around and see my daddy’s and mom’s friends who have come to this rally.

On Thursday, daddy took a 6 mile hike with a guy name Steve, he’s nice but he barks like a dog sometimes: 

See

I have been getting lots of biscuits from people all over, I have to be pickie though because I can’t have wheat. 

My daddy has been in and out of generators and batteries. He keeps getting swallow up by these white things called RV’s. I’m glad my rv does not eat anyone. I wouldn’t it if he or anyone got swallow up here.

Well, I am taking a nap on the couch now and expect breakfast very soon.

Here are some photos daddy took:

People Eating Gold

Hi, me again, I got this writing thing away from my humans again. They don’t know that I can do this.

Weird things happen today, I saw many men being eaten by Rv including my daddy. He escape later and came home in time too feed me and my sister.

Big Q and Shoes for DaGirls

So, here I am laying on my couch and check out my profile:

I needed to do this especially after a very long journey an having my humans out of my Rv for 3 hours on Wed. I heard terrible noise coming from outside and could not see where the noise was coming from.

Mom and Dad finally came home and released us from inside so I could see what was going on. Golly Mr. Wizard DaGirls (My Rv) got new shoes:

See how pretty she looks. The humans (Redburn Tire Mesa), who worked did a really good job and even polished her shoes up. Dad told me they balance all the tires, something called force balance 1 tire whateverrrr, and made sure the tires were center onto the wheel hub whatever that is.

 

 

Then it was off to Quartzsite to visit with friends old and new. It was an ok trip but I liked it better when we stopped to go walk around, as it is always better to stop and smell the desert and poles.

Look at my spot:

I like the desert as it is cool outside, good smells, fresh water by my side and my bed is outside too.

Anyway, that’s my story and I am sticking to it. So There.

AC Dash Heater Mod

In this mod we will learn how to increase the airflow temperature from the dash heater either in the Floor or Vent mode.

I created this mod due to the reduce hot temperature coming from the floor / vent mode during the winter while DaGirls Rv is traveling. The caused of this reduce temperature is the airflow flapper door located in the front. During travels the flapper door allows the outside cold air flowing into the coach thereby reducing the hot air flow. To increase the temperature I needed a way to close the air flow flapper door without using screws, tape or any other unnecessary material.

Locate the following items on the outside firewall:
Vacuum pump (12Vdc motor pump), Vacuum accumulator (small black round plastic tank), and the diverter airflow valve connector to the air flow flapper door..

Purchase the following items, universal vacuum tee similar in picture and 3 feet of vacuum hose that fits the smallest end of the tee. Cut the vacuum into 2 pieces, 1 foot and 2 foot sections.

Locate the vacuum accumulator and remove the hose on the left side. Using the 1 foot section, insert the hose into the open port where you just removed the hose. Next insert the other end of the hose into the tee run. Insert the hose that you removed from the accumulator into the other side of the Tee Run. Take the 2 foot section of vacuum hose and insert one end into the Tee end of the fitting. Locate the diverter valve and remove the vacuum hose. Insect the other end of the 2 foot section hose to the diverter valve. Finally locate a suitable plug, golf tee or even a pop rivet will work, plug the original hose end you removed from the diverter valve.

You have now competed the mod to increase the temperature in your dash AC/Heater unit.
