Balanced Rock

The only way to get into Arches National Park is with a timed reservation pass, which is a brilliant idea. It means that only 200 cars are allowed to enter the park each hour and your entry wait time will be about 30 minutes. I was able to get passes last night for 9 am. It was a hot day so in hind sight I wish I had got the earlier reservation. By 10:30 it was just too hot to hike anymore, especially since I was not feeling well. I persevered; however, and we did a 2 mile hike on the Park Avenue Trail. Doug hiked out to the arches, but I couldn't handle the heat.

We drove through all areas of the park and stopped at every overlook as well as the visitor center. The rock formations are beautiful. There really are no words to describe them. As we drove through and on our hike, I had a sense of awe and quiet reverence that came over me.

Back to the campground, we began researching B plus RVs and were looking at the Leisure Unity. We found it online first, but then a retired couple, who are doing RV travel full time since last summer, pulled into the campground, two hookups down from us. We went to talk to them and they showed us their RV. It's similar to the Airstream model, but quite a bit cheaper. There are five different floorplans.

Besides all the issues this van has had, Im tired of the 8 minute bed conversion every evening and morning, requiring calisthenics. This van has had so many issues on this trip. Every day it seems like there's something else wrong with it. I believe I'm ready to trade it in. Here is the list of things that are broken:

Water leaking out from under bed
Hot water heater doesn't get the water hot and takes 45 minutes to heat to barely warm
Bed front panel doesn't latch, screws stripping and metal frame not installed correctly underneath the bed, difficult to open and close
2 drawers will not close so they are held with tape when on the road
Awning not functioning at all, only used it once back in April
AC on van chassis broke... to be fixed on the 19th
Table broke,  stripped off paneling
Sensors on tanks, gray and black not accurate when empty they read 2/3

Mind you, this is a 2022 Thor Sequence built on a 2021 RAM Promaster chassis. I've owned it for six months. It's under warranty and they will fix everything, but really?もっと詳しく
