<\/a>Lucky for us we were leaving because it was supposed to get even hotter the day we left for the rest of that week there. \u00a0 We ordered Amazon Fresh groceries delivery while at the Oasis Resort, and they delivered them right to the coach’s front door.<\/p>\nWe left early to beat the heat and get fuel in a truck stop just north of St. George, Utah.\u00a0 This truck stop was the worst I ever experienced anywhere.\u00a0 It was an unattended Sinclair truck fueling station, with a single pump for cars & gas.\u00a0\u00a0 The craziest thing with these pumps is they stopped at 17 gallons.\u00a0 Not some even dollar amount.\u00a0 Each time the dollars were $95.38 and exactly 17 gallons.\u00a0 The pump took about 60 seconds to pump in 15 gallons, then it slowed to less than a crawl and took 5 minutes to hit 17 gallons.\u00a0 Needless to say, I had to restart the pump 6 times to get a full tank.\u00a0\u00a0 It was excruciating at best to get a full tank.<\/p>\n
We ended up in Beaver, UT, for the night, cool weather, such a nice break from the heat.\u00a0 I wanted to stop in Beaver as I thought we had an exhaust leak and I had used a diesel mechanic shop there on our way to Alaska a few years back.\u00a0 I was impressed by them at the time. \u00a0 The next morning I drove the coach over and the owner crawled under the engine and after a bit popped out and told me it wasn’t an exhaust leak, but a manifold leak. \u00a0 He said they were very understaffed and barely could keep up with their mobile service, so they couldn’t do the work. \u00a0 (I wished it was an exhaust leak!)<\/p>\n
