Aug.30, and we are ready to load the camper and head up the road to Craighleith provincial park for a 2 day, pre trip shakedown. Oh oh!, check engine light is on in truck. Please Mr. Canadian tire can you check it out while I wait. Oxygen sensor you say, shouldn't drive it you say, $385.00 you say, be ready by 2:00 pm.
Go for it I say. Phone call at 1:30, truck not ready, threads stripped, unable to get new sensor in. Option 1: install new exhaust piece that has good threads, expensive they say, not in stock they say, take several days they say. Option 2: Call Mr. Threader, a local guy who makes his living repairing threads other guys have stripped. Could be done today if they can locate him. Ok I say. They find him, he fixes thread ( takes him 2 hours). I get truck back at 4:30 with a $650.00 bill.
We literally throw belongings in camper and head to Craigleith. Real easy set up with the truck camper, plug it in. Everything works and we spend the next 2 days trying to pack all of life's necessities (and a little more) into 69 sq.ft . Who says that you cant pack 10 lbs. of sh*t in a 2 lb. bag.
Laurie , Noel, Avery and Shelby came buy for BBQ'd hot dogs and to say good bye and its on to the next step
