Wooo! I was worried that the brake hoses weren't the problem I was having with hot brakes. The Chieftain boogied down I87 at 65mph just fine, then down into the Lake Champlain basin without too much panic. Once we set up camp we tried the microwave for the first time, it ran for about two seconds, then it went dark. It's not a breaker, but I'm scratching my head wondering why it died so suddenly. I'm getting the propane tank filled tomorrow, hopefully we'll have no surprises. I'm so relieved that we made it without incedent!

Kampersville on Lake Dunmore VT is a super great family campsite, we've tent camped here in the past but now with the RV it's even better. The lake and mountains are beutiful, kids are everywhere having fun, the staff is very helpful. I highly reccomend this place!

So the rain was pretty heavy yesterday morning and I had a chance to find and fix a couple small leaks, mainly around the shower skylight. The sun came out around 11am and Sam was back to swimming and riding bikes as usual.

We could get used to this!:

HEY!  THAT'S MY 944 IN THE FIRST GROUP O PICS!!

Nope, false alarm, that's either a 944 S2 16 Valve.. Or a 951 (AKA 944 Turbo)..  More likely 951 due to the graphics on the passenger side of the rear just under the spoiler..
