Thank so much everyone. Yes, we're still in signal range, why you ask? Because we're broke down!!! Can you believe it?!! We got exactly 53.1 miles. Terry was worried about the batteries not charging so we stopped at a Wal-Mart to get some distilled water. We parked way out in the parking lot, were walking into the store when I turned around to look at the motorhome. My mouth hit the floor - the entire back of the coach was covered in oil!
We discovered it was the hyrdaulic filter that was leaking and blew hydraulic oil all over the place. So, to make a long afternoon into a short story, we met the nicest lady who has been hauling us around to parts store and such and helping us out (she's a mechanic by the way, can you believe the luck?) and we're going to be towed to a place in Dallas that will be able to work on this tomorrow and hopefully get us back on the road tomorrow. If not, I'll have to fly home and Terry will have to take a few more days off to get it fixed and then get it home.
Whew, what an ordeal. I still love it though. These things can happen to any motorhome anywhere, so I don't feel we bought a lemon or anything like that. We just need to get some issues straightened out.
So, I'll fill you in on more when I get a chance.....
Oh, by the way, in order to be towed you need to disconnect the driveline! Terry seems like it's no big deal but geez-o-man, what does that all involve?
