This morning after I turned my portable a/c off, I kept hearing a popping sound. Sounded like water dripping. Hmmmm? Where is THAT coming from??
NO ONE in an RV wants to hear dripping water sounds! Never. Not even if it only means it's condensation or rain dropping on the outside of the RV. It is always a concern.
And it's not raining....
But I'm thinking, ok, condensation on the overhead cab, droplets of water hitting the hood. Now that happens all the time after a very humid night.
So I go outside, check & yes, water is dripping on my hood....but....it's not making any noise...hmmmm??
So I turn my attention to my portable A/C. I'm thinking maybe the outlet hose is popping & retracting a little since I shut the A/C off. But it doesn't quite sound like it's coming from there. Although close, very close to there.
Very, very close.
I can't open my drivers door since the hose is all connected to a panel that I have slid into the window frame so it can vent outside. POP, POP, POP!
What the heck is that???
I do see that a bug has trapped itself between the partially rolled up window & the exhaust panel I made for the hose. But I think nothing of that. Other than I'd prefer NOT to have him as a guest inside of my motorhome!
POP POP POP!!!
What is that??
It sounds like water is dripping between the overhead walls.
That isn't possible. The walls are solid.
POP POP POP!!!
What is that????!!!!
Do I ignore it & hope it will go away or do I investigate more?
POP POP POP!!!
What the HECK is that????
POP!
The bug works his way out & INTO my RV!
Grrrrrr.
Popping sound gone!
IT WAS THE BUG POPPING!!!
Now the popping bug is living with me!
Oh goodie....
ICK!
A few weeks ago, I heard Chirp, Chirp CHIRP!!!
What was that?? Same kind of thing.
I had opened my big window over my sofa.
When I closed it, it started to chirp.
After a little while, I think, Oh, I must have trapped one of those little green barking frogs.
I check.
No frog.
CHIRP, Frantic CHIRPS!
I find it. I had trapped a "spider" in my window track!
Oh, really ick. I don't like spiders. Especially when they are begging for HELP!
Now what to do. I am NOT handling this thing! And it could be a brown recluse, so I'm definitely NOT HANDLING IT!!
But how do I get it out??
My vacuum. My little dirt devil. I even feel it as it sucks into the dirt devil. OH ICK!
Then I put the vacuum in a plastic tub & put it UNDER the RV!
Then a week or so later I put the vacuum in my van!
I've yet to open it to dump it. There's a spider in there ya'know.
Ick.
