How did I end up here?

Remember yesterday when I was excited about my new tankless water heater? Most of that joy has trickled out and now I’m left with 17 new tasks. The good news is that the original problem has ben solved– My water heater was leaking and now there’s no water in the camper…

At all.

Like, I have no water. When I was hoping for a dry camper, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind. I can’t get any water out of any faucet because the dadgum RV control panel in the camper has no power to it. It’s been this way for 3 days and I’m on day 5 of not having hot water. Fun times, right? You know those situations where you whisper to yourself, wow I’m glad it’s not me… I guess I whispered that one too many times because now I’m in a situation most people wouldn’t want to be in and it’s double tuff because I don’t know how to make everything right. Well, short of spending more money by hiring an expert to come out and get the new water heater working. Costs are adding up and so are the frustrations but hopefully I’ll make progress today so I can go to bed with at least one win for the day.


Fish or cut bait. Another option lurking in the back of my mind is to cut bait… Admit what I’m doing isn’t working, abandon the plan, start over, and go in a different direction. I’m not there quite yet but with every failed attempt, I’m one piece of dry, old squid closer.
