Everybody’s favorite day in the U.S.A. – tax day.
It rained hard all day and we pretty much just hunkered down in the trailer to watch movies. Peggy discovered a rather substantial leak in the right rear corner of the trailer and attempted to gather up the water that seemed to be piddling in from the outside during this torrential downpour. I popped outside for about 30 seconds and found a spot where the exterior caulking was bad but it was pointless to attempt repairs during the downpour.
We figured this was not going to be much of a problem but, right about then, the shade canopy apparently became overloaded with water and collapsed. Bummer.
The rain gave up for about 60 seconds during which I was able to jury-rig the shade canopy such that we were able to pretty much retract it for travel. I believe it is toast and when I get to some civilization I will take it to an RV repair joint and see what they say. We were also able to get the back corner of the trailer exterior dry for a second and we temporarily repaired the water leak with good old duct tape.
It rained pretty hard right up until we went to bed. We got in some good movie viewing and watched Last of the Mohicans off a Blu-Ray disc. When I finally went to sleep, the last thing I heard was hard rain.
