At least it is not a tire





Headed down the road today and first had to take a 45 min detour at mile marker 188 to 186 due to and accident. Second RV engine died no warning at mile marker 56, called it in and waiting for a tow. It will not get worked on until tomorrow sometime.. Guess I will not get to Tucson tomorrow after all. Will ad to this post as things change..

Okay now for part two.... Things started going downhill when the tow truck showed up, it was a large truck for use on 18wheelers and large motor homes not something for my class c. The driver did get things hooked up after 45 min or so of scratching his head and looking at things. Down the road back to Odessa we went, he told me that it was being taken to a Cummings shop??? It not being a diesel I did not understand this and called the road service back asking for someplace else. Told that it had to go to Cummins because that is what the contract said... Okay, once in Odessa we go to the Cummings place and get told "no way we can work on that " the service manager calls the road service place and tells them the same thing. We are then send to a "small" garage that see's us coming and again we are turned away, this time it is too big. So now the tow truck driver has a couple of places we try only to be turned away 1.- do not work on RV anymore, 2.- way to backed up to take on anything at this time. ( two week backup ).. So I am taken to the tow truck yard and camping here for the night. Will start making phone calls in the morning and hope to find someone willing to work on my unit. Good night..

Sounds like an "eventful" trip. This too will pass. At least you are not on the boat!
