Safe travels, David. Bummer about the spare tire cover and the traffic stop. There's been a rash of people printing fake temporary plates, so I'm pretty sure that's what launched the "fishing expedition" to check your license and registration. Your speed was just a pretext to pull you over for a closer look. Once he saw you were legit and he was just bothering you, he had to keep up appearances by warning you about your speed. Cops always seem _compelled_ to scold you about something, don't they? McDonald's will do in a pinch, and I understand buying a meal in exchange for Crackerdocking overnight. I'm still hoping you'll fire up the galley and "chef it up" before you get all the way home. After all... *there's no reason to eat poorly when you're on the road.* 😀

Sounded like the Trooper and you were both gentleman. I really think that the paper tag was the reason for the stop. Nice rig (Mercedes Benz) Anyway you handled it cool and moved on.

It’s likely that the officer was being truthful about why he pulled you over. High up in your vehicle, he was unlikely to even see you until he walked up beside you. You handled it perfectly, were very polite, and nothing escalated. My adult kids are biracial, so that’s something I think about a lot when they are on the road. I’m glad that you can finally start back to camping in comfort! Happy trails!

Oh I feel you on that👍🏿

Since you are reluctant to "speculate," I will do it for you. You were pulled over by the state trooper because of the temporary tags and going slightly over the speed limit, even though you were keeping within the traffic flow. And if he was able to see you, he pulled you over for being a BLACK MAN DRIVING A NICE RV! The trooper felt you stole the vehicle or had drugs on board. There, I said it. Many years ago while on I-70 in Kansas in a nice rental car (I had the car on cruise control at the speed limit, knowing how state troopers are), all of a sudden a trooper started tailing me. No flashing lights, just intimidation. After about 5 miles, he pulled up along side me, and actually smirked, as if to say he could not find a "probable cause" to stop me, and then pulled ahead and exited the interstate. So this stuff happens. And we have to put up with it. That being said, you did all the right things by being calm and cooperative, and you had the paperwork. So, the trooper knew that he had no real reason to stop you and that is why you only got a warning. Always be super careful when going through small towns in the west. Congratulations on the RV, wish I could afford one like it. Enjoy.

We all know you weren't speeding, not in that sized investment! You need a dash cam with a quad-camera, they film out of your two front passenger windows and into the van, with the 4th camera is an extra rearview camera. Also, make sure it's automatically uploading to the cloud. Sometimes they just don't expect you to show up in court because the plate is out of state, easy money for the county/state.

I had a thought David. Have you run one of your stove burners to purge the air from the propane lines? I'm thinking your heat might be kicking off because it's been sitting at the dealer with the gas off and there's no propane in the lines. When it doesn't light right away, a gas heater errors out and shuts off. Sometimes cracking a stove burner lets the air out; if the stove takes a few seconds before you can light it the first time, that's probably what's going on.
