We didn’t get very far down the road
before trouble came up. Alarms on the TPMS that the psi on the trailer tires
are above safe levels.  I realized that
can’t be right, these are brand new tires. 
As soon as I was able, I pulled over and checked out the new trailer
tires – sure enough, they have a maximum psi of 65, not 50 like the old ones
and 65 was the alarm level for 50 psi. 
So, all is well, it’s just the parameters that need to be adjusted.  No idea how to do that at this point so I
just shut the TPMS down until I get to Alamogordo and can get out the book
again.

    My phone app has done a pretty good
job so far in helping me make the turns through towns to get where I need to
go.  I have found, however, that it
doesn’t take into account that I might have height, length, or width
restrictions, it assumes a passenger vehicle. 
For instance, the shortest distance from Discount Tire to the camp
ground includes several miles on a road that is marked as “not recommended for
trailers longer than 24’” so I sometimes have to outsmart the phone.  ^_^  Like
not asking for directions all the way to the campground until I have already
gone past an opportunity to use the above-mentioned road.

     Today’s drive is almost all on I-10 so
that won’t be an issue.  I have not driven
this portion of I-10 before and was surprised to see so many signs along the
highway explaining what to do in case of a dust storm.  Having lived many years in Albuquerque, I am
well aware of the spring winds, I just didn’t realize the impact this much
further south into the Chihuahuan Desert. 
I can understand better now why I-40 through Albuquerque is a much more
popular route for long-haul drivers.

     I am looking forward to being in a
campground that offers more amenities after dry camping for a week and then
spending 4 days with electric only. 
Laundry and shower will be the agenda for tomorrow.
