Thumbs up V-A-C-A-TION

? Anyone else remember that old song ? .

It's August and we're having a HEAT WAVE so naturally, SWMBO says let's spend a week in fun filled (not) Indio, California where if we're lucky it might get down to 100* F by 02:00 .

I fixed the AC using Rich's SANDEN compressor and a larger, parallel flow condenser, so far it's working well but a three hour Desert drive with four people will give it the acid test .

I changed the clear plastic intake screen , added some Biobor and filled the tank at sunup, washed it and cleaned out the truck of the milk crate full of spares I normally carry, adjusted the fan belts and all seems well.......
