Sleep Tonight -- Quieter Ride Tomorrow

Well, that's the hope, after spending a few hours working on the two problems with the RV.  One annoying noise had been the beeping sound from the alarm indicating that one of the levellers was still down (well, paritally) and the popping sound I heard the other morning apparently wasn't the leveller being retracted fully (unfortunately).  After looking online and reading about the problem and how it was corrected by others, I thought it might be the springs -- after trying the WD40 fix others recommended and worked for them (didn't for me -- well, it did some).  So, I dug out the jack from the Jeep and put it under the leveller (which I didn't use here at the RV park) and cranked it until I saw it move a little and the RV too.  Then, I went inside and turned on the control panel and gave it another try -- a miracle happened, the thing fully retracted.  So that means the springs need to be replaced with new "tapered" versions.  Maybe at one of the next two stops -- or I'll use the jack again.

The other problem was with the brake controller installed in the Jeep which gave me a "breakaway" message and I suspected the problem to be somewhere in the cable for the interlock (emergency breakaway switch if the Jeep should fall away from the tow vehicle - required by law in most states).  I had run this cable from the front bumper of the Jeep, through the engine compartment and through the driver's door jamb to a spot near where the brake controller would be installed during each move/tow of the Jeep.  I didn't run it through the firewall since I didn't have access to a lift and didn't want to figure how to get through the dashboard of the Jeep too.  The cable had been pinched and the wires were cut almost fhrough in the door jamb area so, I had to caarefully splice the wires back together after cutting out the bad section.  Then, I had to tie it off in a slightly different area to avoid having the same problem again -- will inspect it visually and verify its condition more often too.

Also, cleaned the two enclosed reels that had "gummed up" from the saltwater exposure and hope they will work well at the next locations or at the next fishing pier.  Scouted the nearest gas stations for diesel to fill up in the morning so I don't get an annoying "beep" indicating the fuel is low while driving to Panama City Beach.
