CUMMINS

We are still in Coburg and had a 9:00 an appointment with Cummins for the engine work we needed to have done.  Turns out this was our lucky day.  Since we got this coach I have been suspicious that the "sight glass" that shows the coolant level for the engine was not right.  It always looked like it was too full but the engine always ran fine and never acted like there was any kind of problem.  I asked them to check it anyway and they found that the engine was three gallons short of coolant and after they added that and looked for leaks they found a broken hose clamp on the block.  I seriously doubt we would have made it through Grants Pass or over the Siskiyous.  Most likely we would have overheated, the engine would have shut down to protect itself and we would have been towed.  That would have been BAD.  GOD must be watching over us.  Anyway, we got everything done and were on our way by 2 pm.  Not bad.  Back in our campground spot now planning on an 8 am departure.
