We discovered a new leak in the Avion. Well, an old leak has popped back up. But for all the drips and drops that fall on our bed, it also makes for some powerful waterfalls.⁠
⁠
So, yeah, we have a bit of work to do. But, in the mean time, I think it's time for some hiking.⁠

Stop and smell the flowers...⁠
⁠
Life on the road means that there's a lot of different flowers we get to smell: cactus rose, magnolia, columbine, water lily, lupine, poppy, wild flowers, cultivated flowers, and everything in between. ⁠
⁠
Every region has its own standouts and we are delighted when we have the privilege to visit plants in full bloom.⁠
⁠
After a day on the road and an unfortunate encounter with rush hour traffic, we are relieved for a quiet moment among the flowers to decompress before we go to bed.⁠
⁠
It's the simple things that can make all the difference.⁠
⁠
What's yours?⁠

A study in extremes⁠
⁠
These sweltering summer days have offered a unique opportunity to test our air-conditioning and identify particular problem areas in our camper. ⁠
⁠
We've talked about thermal bridging before but it is while battling the extreme heat and cold that we have the opportunity to isolate the real problem areas. While we can't see them with our eyes, they become clear as day through the lense of a thermal camera.⁠
⁠
Here, we capture the two temperature extremes in the camper: the air conditioner and our roof hatch. The AC may be pumping out 59.8°F (15.4°C) air but it's fighting a loosing battler when 125°F (51.7°C) of summer heat is radiating through the double paned roof hatch.⁠
⁠
We break down other problem areas in our post about our AC stress test (link in bio)⁠

Taking a breather between projects...⁠
⁠
We are all a work in progress and the same can certainly be said for our Avion C11 truck camper. ⁠
⁠
This week we've had our noses to the grind stone...or the drill press to be more precise. Chris is rearranging our electrical box while I've been drilling a mega bus bar and slathering fiberglass in epoxy to build a bridge to run wires and store breakers. Let's just say the weather has not been favorable for the epoxy curing. But we keep at it!⁠
⁠
All the same, we've been looking forward to this weekend. Friends will be joining us for some adventures. So hopefully we can get everything back in place in time!⁠
⁠
Do you have plans for this long weekend?⁠
