In Fruita, CO at Monument RV Park for a week

Drove from Angle Fire to Fruita, CO (355 MI ) today.  Took 9 hours on lots of narrow roads, passes, and canyons.  Arrived at Monument RV park around 5:30 pm.  Park is semi-tight.  Gravel spaces.  Good WiFi & cable. Temp is warm (low 90's).  We plan on  staying a week (til 24th, $260.62/week).  MH fresh water pump went out.  Short in wiring?  Pump is working.  Air gauge #1 errored out 20 times while driving.  20 amp breaker trips on main A/C.
