Club Nautico RV Park was 109 miles further down the
coast. The weather was definitely a lot
warmer and there was a fantastic pool available to us. There was also a great beach right
there in front of the pool. Everything
was first class. We even had good 50-amp
electric service as opposed to the unusable 15- and 30-amp services we had
experienced at most of the previous RV parks.
The only thing missing was Wi-Fi!
However, we did find a coffee shop in town with free Wi-Fi from which I
was able to make a post to the blog.
For a couple of days prior to our arrival in Campeche I
experienced some trouble starting the motorhome’s engine and had to use the
auxiliary start switch (to use the house batteries as opposed to the chassis
batteries). I had also noticed that the
chassis batteries were not charging properly.
They were the original chassis batteries, about five years old and
probably due for replacement. I had
already replaced the four house batteries last year.
The Green Angels said “no problem”. They would remove the chassis batteries and
take them into town to find replacements.
As they began removing the two batteries we noticed that both of them
were badly cracked and seemed ready to burst open at any moment. I can only assume this was caused by the many
bone-jarring topes we had
crossed. I was somewhat anxious to see
what kind of new batteries that the Green Angels would find for me. To my relief, they turned out to be exactly
the same as the originals, AC DELCO from the local Autozone, with a guarantee that will
be good in the US if needed. Cost was
about $120 (US) per battery.
