While in Castlegar I also got some education on diesel pushers, including learning the hard way how to best change a fuel filter. Don`t believe everything you read on the internet or in the engine manual. Nuff said.
From Castlegar we stopped for a night at Yahk Provincial Park (49.08136 -116.09567) and for another one at Parson (51.02716 -116.54302) before crossing back over to Alberta and back to Kathy`s driveway. All in all a pretty good shakedown trip for the new motorhome and a good start for me in getting used to the differences between a gas coach and a diesel pusher. I`m a lot easier on the brakes now that I have the Jake figured, and I sure as heck know how to change a fuel filter. I also learned that I can fit the Tuscany into a lot fewer sites in provincial campgrounds than I could squeeze the Bounder into.
