We left home this morning at about 10:00 a.m. It was already about 95 and long before we got to Gila Bend (pronounced hee-la for you furiners) it was 100.  Before we got to Yuma it was 110, we even saw 111 a couple of times. It stayed that way all the way to Palm Desert. The coach ran great! It stalled once getting off the highway but restarted easily and other than that not a bit of a problem.

We stopped twice for gas.  At the first stop in Gila Bend there was a lot of pressure in the gas tanks and it took a long couple of minutes to bleed it off. Yes, I know some people think that is a problem but I am not among them. If you want to know why take a look at another post on this site titled “My vapor lock problems are virtually gone.”  I attributed this to some “winter” gas left in the tanks. We filled up again in Yuma ( jew-ma in Spanish) and there again was pressure but lots lesss.

At the gas station in Yuma we fired up the Onan generator so we could run the roof air conditioners so we could have lunch. We left the Onan running along with one roof air unit the rest of the way to Palm Desert. It was much more comfortable.

We finally arrived at Emerald Desert RV Resort at about 5:30 p.m. and practically have the place to ourselves as you can tell from this video of the pool area. I shot this so you can see why we picked this place to stop.
