Take it slow.  Still going to have lots of rain in the Atlanta area.  Doesn't appear to clear until Tuesday.

thanks, all.  So far mostly good.  I forgot our 2nd set of camper keys at home, I'm having our house sitter look around.  Not in the pants I wore this morning unfortunately.  The truck is running warmer than usual (engine and tranny), I can only attribute it to the generator box up front.  It isn't blocking the vents but it still may require air flow from down low to make it into those vents.  Also the fridge was nice and cold this morning and early this afternoon, but by our 2nd pit stop it was up to 50 degrees and switching it over from gas to DC between the 2nd stop and tonight didn't change it any.  I turned it completely off for 15 minutes and now have it on AC mode since the genset is running.  Still no change so far...

TNT, my fridge did that last fall--all seemed to be working OK, but not cooling well. I had bumped the thermostat out of its mount in the lower left corner of the fridge's interior. Reseated it and all has been well---for a Dometic.

You got my hopes up for an easy fix, just looked and it is firmly in place. I keep thinking im getting whiffs of fried circuit board, cant tell if it is just the campfires around us...

Something I tried at a pit stop today, i wired one of the fans behind the fridge permanently on, i did that to our popup fridge which helped. No help here. Got up to 60 on the road and now at 48 in camp.

We are at stone mountain tonight. The storms have all been to the west but i think we will get hit soon by the sounds of it.

Yup, it drove us inside about an hour and 1/2 ago.  Didn't sleep well last night (my oldest has an ear ache so I was up putting drops in her ears at 3:30), so I'll probably go to bed a bit early.

I just saw a bright object in the sky.  Could it be a UFO?  My goodness, it's the sun!  Something we haven't seen in GA in a week.  Enjoy your day in our state and safe travels!
