Just returned from our short 6 night trip to Pender  Island and Vancouver
Island.  Couldn’t ask for better weather - sunny and warm throughout and
quite dry - as noted earlier no dew or morning dampness.  Van ran strong -
no coolant loss - oil pretty much at same level as when we left - mind you
we only put on about 400 km.

Okay for the gaugers out there - today fully warm on flat stretch of
highway 110 km / 68.4 mph at 4000 rpm - oil at around 230 Fahrenheit and
oil pressure at 39 psi. Coolant temp showing below the light.

Oil temp gauge typically runs around 220 - either a bit above or below - as
it is analog it is hard to know exactly what it is reading.

Only negative is that I forgot to switch the fridge off battery when
stopping for over an hour and drained the auxiliary.  Should figure out an
alarm for that or something.

The old Dometic on gas still worked like a charm though.

Lake Cowichan is a very nice destination - great temp for swimming, lots of
shade if you need to duck out of the sun - and not very busy when it comes
to boat traffic.

We will be back!
