11/1/18 - This morning when I got up at 7:45 am, I soon learned that I had a problem with the house batteries since there was a red light instead of green and the refrigerator was off. I then immediately checked to make sure the RV would start and it did. I then got the car ready, got dressed, took pills and left at 8:05 am. I drove for a while hoping that I was charging up the batteries so I stopped at a rest stop at 10:20 am and sure enough the refrigerator was on and the light was green. I decided to rest for a hour since I left much earlier than planned and ran the generator. I then took off again and next stop was to fill up with gas. I stopped at the next rest area to waste another hour since I did not want to be too early at Walmart. I got to Walmart at 4:05 pm. I am at Walterboro, South Carolina. I soon learned that there were a lot of other RV'ers. I believe I have counted at least 10 and more have come in since then!! I did find a stop right next to one. I decided to run the generator for an hour and when I did, I did not realize the RV next to me had their windows open and my generator was causing quite the fumes. As I went out to get the car ready for the night, the female put her head out the window and wanted to know how long I would be running the generator and I told her at least an hour and then I realized why. I explained to her that the car in front of me had moved so I could move up and out of their way and maybe that would solve the problem. Sure enough, it solved the situation. In the meantime, she started to talk to me and learned I was alone and we had quite the conversation. Then the husband came out and showed me the route they were taking to Tampa, Florida but I informed them I had planned another route. Next thing I knew I was offered this massive piece of fried chicken breast and at first I refused but they insisted. I did have some for dinner. I have checked everything and just can't figure out if something is draining the batteries. I plan to run the generator one more hour before bedtime and see if I can keep that green light on. The RV is so nice and warm! It appears today my back is not quite as painful so I am hoping it is going to go away soon. Off to bed.
