Alde Heater Can’t Keep up
It’s 20° outside and our diesel Alde heater system can’t keep up while using electric. Both electrical heating units are on and the fan is on high. We shut it off and used this little space heater and it heated the space up quickly. Now it is nice and toasty inside.

Day 143: Gilbert Ray Campground, Tucson, AZ Cloudy, then RAIN. We didn’t intend on going to the desert museum, since we had already been to both Saguaro National Park East and West, and figured the museum would be more about the same desert flora and fauna. We were nervous about the rain forecast and the... Continue Reading →
