Montreal to Quebec City, Almost

Montreal to Quebec City Almost
We were set to leave Montreal yesterday and the Tepee RV park. I had unhooked the electrical and water and told Bev to start up the engine and take up the jacks (leveling for the RV). Well click, click it did not start. What to do now? Well first off check the battery connections to see if they were loose or corroded. After much work under the coach (you could not believe that they had placed these in such a remote and isolated place) and now dirty from grease and grass and other unmentionable things the vehicle stood steadfastly immobile.
Time to call for a tow truck (plans for leaving are not looking too good). Well after several calls it seems a tow truck has been dispatched but they will only be able to try to start the vehicle and not to tow it (that requires a larger tow truck). Ok so we wait and the vehicle arrives and the driver who speaks French really well tries to jump start the RV. Well guess what duh, it’s not the battery that is at fault.
After many phone calls to his office it is decided that he can not start the RV and he can not put it on his truck. So off he goes with my understanding that another larger vehicle is to be dispatched. That is when Michael comes along to tell me that the driver stopped him to tell him that I must call the insurance company to affect another tow vehicle which is larger.
SO another phone call and they are going to send another tow truck (when is another question). Meanwhile I am checking fuses and then remembered that in Quartzsite the mechanic who had worked on the generator had told me of a solenoid switch down by the steering wheel that had locked up once and all you did was poke the wire down. So after several poking tries the engine somehow revived itself and started. By now it is 3:30 and I am in no mood to travel the 200 miles to Quebec City so the decision is made to spend another night in Montreal and do some long needed laundry.
In the morning Tigre started right up and has performed valiantly since. The drive was uneventful save for the constant road construction and the GPS unit which again sent me down a road I did not want to go. But after ignoring it I did finally get to the north side of the St. Lawrence River at Trois Riveras instead of the south side of the river. This was important to me as I did not want to come across the river into Quebec City and then go west thru the city fighting the crowded traffic in the RV.
So here we are at Juneau de Chalets on Chenin du Lac ( on the lake in a really nice little RV park). The weather has definitely taken a turn for the colder at night and I went up in the storage pod to get down the extra blanket. This means that the leaves are beginning to turn also and that is why we are here. Now you begin to see the bright scarlet colors of some of the early maple trees in a sea of green. In two weeks time it will be a sea of reds and yellows and browns with just some green from the evergreens interspersed.
Well that should be all for now.
