On Monday we called the RV mobile repair people to come out to the park to find out why our propane wasn't getting through to the furnace or stove. They came out and thought there might be air in the line (after four years we never had so much air that the furnace wouldn't work or the stove would barely have a flame but they are the experts). They also thought the regulator might have gone bad. So Ted had the tanks filled and had them purge the air out of the tanks. Didn't work. We took off to Camping World for a new regulator, Ted installed. No change! We called them back and they came out and finally found a bolt on the coupler cracked on the gas line and propane was seeping out, fortunately on the outside of the coach! So they got it fixed and we are cooking with gas again!
Today we drove out to the Great Smoky Mountains. We passed through historic Sevierville and the very touristy town of Pigeon Forge. OMG it's very eccentric! They have the funniest looking souvenier places, arcades, small little theaters. They have Wonderworks which is a huge upside down building. Bungee jumping places, wild west stores, three hugh Christmas shops, the Titanic and much more! We also drove through the mountain town of Gatlinburg. We were reminded of being in Estees Park, Colorado. The road follows the river and the town shops are jam packed together, but unfortunately with no parking! As it was raining, we elected to not walk around the shops. Gives us one more thing to come back for!
When got to the mountains it was raining and about 54 degrees. As we drove up through the mountains the temperature got down to 41 degrees and still raining but fog was added to the equation. It is really pretty.
We went back to Pigeon Forge to warm up and got some barbeque. It was delicious!
