Now Boondocking near Quartzite, AZ

After leaving the Pierce Ferry area and it's the light fully solitary camping conditions: I spend a couple of days in midview hanging out with Chris and Lori of Blazeourway.

We just visited, no riding and some binging of a show on Prime video.

While repositioning the RV on their front yard in order to level it, water started pouring out of the rear end of the RV. Damn it. 

Turned out to be a rather small issue, the tubing going from the accumulator to the tubing that feeds the water heater had come off! 

Chris Z. got the tubing back in place and we thought we were good to go.

I left midview in the late morning, and headed towards Kingman to get propane and to fill up with gas on the way to Quartzite, Arizona.

As I got out of the RV while waiting for the propane guy, I saw water once again pouring out the back of the RV!  Dammit.  Again, the tubing had come off the connector that fed the water heater.  This time though it was because the accumulator itself had come off its wall anchors and had dragged it loose! 

Doing some light cussing, I shut off the water pump and got back on the road intending to fix the connections later while camping in Quartzite.

Once I got camp set up and things at cool down a little bit from a high of 91°; I found that I didn't have the right anchors to properly mount the accumulator back on the back wall of the cabinet. So I used to set up zip ties to hold it in place after I reconnected the tubing and verified all was a well again in terms of water flow with the pump on. 

I'll be going into the town of Quartzite tomorrow, to find the correct mounting hardware for a more permanent solution.  Luckily, it's hot and dry so hopefully there will be no long-term or permanent damage to the floor of the RV.
