Indiana, Anderson - Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - Timberline Valley RV Resort

This afternoon we pulled into Timberline Valley RV Resort.  The address is Anderson, IN but it is between Anderson and Chesterfield on a country road just off of State Road 32.  So far we are very pleased.  I’ll get some pictures to post in the next few days.  Roads are paved and the sites are stone, electricity is strong, the water pressure is good, Wi-Fi is free and fast.  They do have a few sites that are open year round.  The rate is $450 a month plus electricity.  You can find more information on them at www.timberlinecampground.com.

Since my last post we had a couple of days of really cold weather.  A water line froze and we had an issue with the refrigerator again.  We got the water line thawed and it didn’t look like it had done any damage, but we think it may have affected a pump on our continuous hot water heater – Greg will be looking into that tomorrow.

Our fridge problem this time was that the fridge just shut down entirely.  Greg called Leon Herschberger, owner of National RV Refrigeration in Shipshewana, IN and he was able to get us in yesterday.  Greg took the RV north and I stayed in Markleville so I could take care of some obligations we had in case he didn’t get back in time.  Leon was recommended to us by Howard and Linda with RV-Dreams.  Now we recommend Leon – he was a wealth of knowledge and our fridge has never run better.  It seems when we had the new cooling unit installed, there was a sensor on the ice machine that was installed wrong.  When the weather got cold enough for that sensor to kick in, it shorted out the circuit panel that makes the fridge run.  Leon also noticed that the shield that conducts heat away from the fridge was installed wrong so the fridge couldn’t cool properly.  We had noticed that in order to keep the fridge at proper temperatures after we had the cooling unit installed we had to run it on high.  It now appears that we can have the setting a little lower and still have the temperature within the safe range.  More info on National RV Refrigeration can be seen at www.fixyourfridge.com.
