The RV technician we called (Cody with King Kong RV Repair) was able to get to us this morning, and he really looked everything over very well. He was very impressed with how our AC/heat and MaxxAir fans were installed in the roof and said everything looked great. That last sentence was put in the post for our Georgia RV tech, Jeffrey.

In the middle unit, he added Dicor sealant around the compression seal. He really felt that the water problem was caused by the corrugated roof on Tramper affecting the sealing capability from flexing. That is an overly-simplified explanation, but it works.

We knew the corrugated roof could potentially create some challenges with rooftop AC units, but many other cargo conversion owners have installed them, so we went with it.

He said he could not guarantee this will be a good fix because of the roof, but we are just going to believe that it will.

So a little over 30 hours later than we had planned, we got on the road headed to Dawson Creek, BC. Our plan was to catch up with Mary and John at Muncho Lake on Friday.

We met the nicest couple at the campground — Carey and Barbi Causey. They live about an hour away and were on their way for a nice break when their truck broke down. They ended up stuck at the campground for somewhere around 7-10 days, I believe.

I can’t believe I didn’t get a picture of them. What kind of blogger am I anyway? Sorry guys.

The picture below of their rig will have to do. Bonus points — at least one of them is in the picture (Carey).

It was a day of putting in lots of road time. We had around 600 miles to go today, and some of it was slow going. Thankfully, the sun goes down late, and we had a bit more light to work with for way later than we are used to.

We gassed up in Dawson Creek and got to the Mile 0 Alaska Highway sign at around 11:45 p.m. We had been warned by a longtime local at the gas station to keep our doors locked even if we only step away briefly. He said Dawson Creek isn’t a safe place anymore like it used to be.

Indeed, we are pretty sure we watched a drug deal go down, and when the dealer left on his bicycle, he disappeared right around the sign. A selfie at that point in front of the sign wasn’t worth the risk so this will have to do We know we were there. It’s okay. And we still had to find the campground and our site in the dark, which is never an easy feat.

Finding the campground and our site was indeed a challenge. I will spare you the details, but just know none of the GPS units were helping with this. The office was closed when we got there, so we just found our site. Not easy at all. When we found it, this is what greeted us.

So we just set up in the site next to it and crashed hard for a little while.

Our friends are a day ahead of us, and they lost signal yesterday, so we fully expect to lose signal at some point today. We will communicate and blog as we can.

We are doing well, and the adventure continues! It was a long travel day — 12 hours on the road.
