Tucumcari, NM

Our adventure continues. Last night as the temperature was supposed to drop into the teens, I thought it  would be a good idea to plug in the engine heater on the motor home. To get to the plug, I had to remove the bikes from the bike rack and open the rear access doors on the motorhome. There is a convenient outlet there to plug it into. Of course on this trip, the outlet is dead. I dug out a long extension cord and plugged it into the campground outlet. In the morning I noticed a puddle of antifreeze on the ground. Both ends of one of the radiator hoses was leaking. I unscrewed and removed a panel to access one end of the hose and tightened both hose clamps. Seems to be staying dry now. Very cold when we headed out this morning. The motor home was sluggish on the hills and the check engine light would come on near the top of the hills. I thought that maybe it was the diesel fuel jelling up because of the cold, but it continued. We made it to Amarillo and stopped for fuel. The fuel pumps at the station were very slow (The trucker ahead of us said that it took 30 min for him to get 10 gallons). Some workers came out and had everyone stop fueling while they reset the system and built up pressure again. Success! A long wait, but we did get to fill up. Next stop was the Cummins dealer to check out the check engine light. By this time I suspected plugged fuel filters as we had a similar problem several years ago. That was the problem, so they replaced them for us. It was late in the afternoon, but we decided to drive on to Tumcumcari, NM. We are going to be here at the Mountain Road RV park for two nights so we can go to All Saints Day Mass tomorrow and have a quiet day. Supposed to be a low of 32 degrees tonight and 53 tomorrow. I had hoped to be in warmer overnight weather by now.
