Left home at 10:50 - Mielage Reading 31,350  Weather nice and a little breezy. 65 degrees

Stopped at True Blue to get LP Gas for motor home and the lady didn’t know how to fill the tank! She called her boss on the cell phone and he said this would be a good time to show her how to fill one. He would be there in 30 minutes. I said no thank you, I have a service appointment at Carry’s in 30 minutes.

Got the motor home serviced at Carry’s. Did a good job and very happy. They also filled the LP.

Got weigh at Laurel’s Truck Stop. Gross Weight: 17,840 plus 60 gal of gas in Delmar, DE @60 gal X 8 lbs per gal equals 480 lbs TOTAL GROSS WEIGHT 18,320. I am authorized 20,500 MGW.        

Went to Delmar, DE and got 60 gallons of gas @3.55 per gallon.

Went to Salisbury, MD and got on Rt 50. All going fine - little windy causing the vehicle to go to the right - nothing new. Looked into the mirror and noticed the awning was flapping on the slide out. Stopped in Vena and tried to fix it. On the road again and I noticed it flapping again in Easton.   Stopped for supper and fix it again. At this time I figured the spring must be weak or broken. (Time for Jack!) and me with no duct tape. The only thing so far that I didn’t load!

It started flapping again and I came on in. Will check it again tomorrow! Had a hard time finding the camp site. It doesn’t have a address so I couldn’t run a GPS on the site. It wasn’t worth the trouble but it only cost $9.00.
