With all the advancements in the RV industry I cant figure out why someone hasnt come up with a level indicator that works.
many years ago we installed Horst Miracle Probes in our camper's tanks .... while not perfect, they have proven to be the best thing we've found to give reasonably accurate reading

I’ve found propane gauges to be the worst for accuracy. What do you use?

I haven't found any propane gauges to work very well .... if you find any, please let me know

here we have another beautiful, thankfully calm, morning .... our daughter's flight from Raleigh to Minneapolis just landed .... she and her son are "face timing" right now with Maureen .... they now has a 3+ hour layover prior to boarding a plane that will take them to Sioux Falls where we will pick them up and bring them to Estelline .... the town Rodeo starts tonight and the town is filling up

once again, the Estelline Rodeo has proven to be a big success .... overflow crowd Friday night, full house Saturday night .... talk about large, ornery, bulls, not a single rider lasted for a full ride .... each night after the first bull was released, the announcer didn't have tell the kids to move away from the fence .. ;) .. yesterday back home a wind storm took out the power for well over 12 hours .... with none of our kids in the area, knowing the power was out and having no idea as to when it would be restored proved to be a considerable stress .... thankfully its back on, at this point we can only hope all's well .... we hope to smoke baby back ribs for 7 family members tonight

well, another hot, windy morning in east central South Dakota .... pretty much a steady 17 mph, gusting to 27+ mph .... already 81 headed to 99 and a warning for strong thunderstorms after dark .... the bad news is, our camper's bedroom AC died yesterday afternoon .... a search for someone to check and probably replace it has begun

following an overnight thunderstorm for which they activated the local tornado alarm, its a beautiful morning in the neighborhood .... 69 degrees on its way to a high of 85 .... next round of thunderstorms due Friday and Saturday .... replacement camper AC has been ordered and shipped by Amazon .... a fellow who runs the local heat and AC company has come to the camper and agreed to install it .... it will really be nice to get this taken care of

A couple of days ago I saw a nasty line of storms heading to Eastern South Dakota. Sounds like you did okay with the storms. Happy your AC is getting repaired, the temps you’re reporting would make the lack of AC pretty miserable.

the seal kit arrived today and per Amazon the AC is on its way .... they are shipping it with some trucking company that doesn't lend itself to good tracking of the shipment .... all they say is "Arriving June 23 - June 28"

Maureen's Camaro that we left in a body shop is ready to be picked up, our kids back in NC will take care of that on Monday .... we've decided to sale a lot we have in South Dakota, a crew has located the sewer line .... RV Armor expects to have a crew working South Dakota shortly, etc .... :D
