Today we took off for White Sands Missile Range and the White Sands National Monument. I was able to show Donna the Small Missile Range where I spent so much time and you can see the main base from the mountain pass. We continued on to the White Sands Monument. It is really cool. Giant dunes of Gypsum that you can slide down. We both thoroughly enjoy the White Sands. We got back to the coach relatively early so I could diagnose the furnace in nice weather. I would have done this in Carlsbad but it was too cold. Now it’s 70 deg outside and sunny. I disassembled the furnace enough to see the shaft has significant free play along the shaft. I also discovered a piece of wood wedged under the fan, and another housing kludge fastener. I guess both of these were attempts to mask the furnace noise we have been fighting. I believe I need a new fan motor and YouTube showed me exactly how to change it pretty easily. I checked with Camping World and they showed they had the motor in stock but couldn’t find it. I’ll have to wait until Tucson or Las Vegas to get a new motor. The good news is removing the Kludges has, at least temporarily, seriously improved the noise. I’m guessing this is temporary. Afterwards we drove to Texas Roadhouse south of Anthony Texas. It is our favorite chain restaurant and was awesome as usual. Another problem that has been getting gradually worse during our travels is the air brakes seem to be leaking. It was never bad enough to do anything about it…until now. During the last two road segments the leak has gotten worse. Now the air leaks significantly just during a fuel stop, where it used to take a full day or more. Camping World recommended a local shop nearby. I called them and setup a 9 AM appointment for tomorrow.
