We left home Thursday morning, January 22 after a day of packing way too much stuff into the Vienna and the Equinox. We drove the vehicles to the local grocery store parking lot and hook up theEquinox for towing. First the two arms of the tow bar, then the safety cables, the electronics cable, and finally the thin cable that activates the car brakes if everything else fails and the vehicles separate.
We arrived at Jones River State Park in the late afternoon. The park is in southeast North Carolina. Problem #1 occurred when hooking up to site water. Water coming in to the Vienna goes through a filter inside the coach. We do what most people do: use an external filter - between the site spigot and the RV - and insert a bypass in the internal filter housing instead of a cartridge. Somehow the bypass plug cracked since the last time we used the RV and leaked a fair amount of water. We finally figured that out with the help of a users group on FaceBook, and made the fix the next day by removing the bypass plug and installing a spare filter cartridge.
We left the park the next day, Friday morning, to complete the first leg of our journey: to Hilton Head Island.
