For those that Instagram: Ilene has her own blog there, about our camper:

The last few days we spent on painting the interior white (Ilene) and getting the old decomposing glassfiber off of the roof (Bas). Ilene tried to smog her after Bas had put in a new fuel filler hose, but again, EVAP failed.
It would be nice if the smog places would be more helpful in overcoming smog problems, instead of turning this legally obliged obstacle into an eternal subsidy...
Before the smog hell opened up, we invested $780 in brand new, 6 ply tires.
To get the title, Ilene had to go to the registration of deceased people.
The cop station where the freak works who impounded our vehicle, a proven scam. He and a towing company have a deal in which the tow club calls in this cop, to take the vehicle in, for just anything.
Notice that the towing company uses a white board to claim their prices. We had to give them $480 of our hard earned money. I see this as theft with help of the strong arm of the law. It makes me puke!
A remote junkyard in Lincoln is being used for this scam. The camper wouldn't start anymore, so the tow driver -now he has received his Judas pennies- was so nice as to tow it to the street, where he left us. We tried to find a tow to Sacramento via our AAA but all tow companies work together and would not help us. So far for this AAA 'service'. The entire night Ilene tried to get us out of there, but eventually, I unscrewed the carburetor, repaired it in Sacramento and we came back the next day; luckily, it ran!
If it's hard to remember where all wires and hoses go, make a picture (or more)
This junk inside the carb was the reason it stalled. After removing, Lucille ran again!
