Truck had just over 50,000 miles. Yea, it was definately a surprise. At first, I thought maybe the DEF ran empty and the truck when into limp mode (in the mountains in Tennessee on an interstate). I was able to limp it as close as I could to the next exit when it just stopped completely. I was able to coast off the edge of the road.

Well, I was surprised also when the tow truck driver said we could do it. I questioned HIS truck if it had enough "umph" to tow both. It did just fine. We rode in his cab.

About the hitch? I was concerned about that too. My hitch is a standard, no frills Recon. The head pivots all around and it did just fine. I was more concerned about the over-hang of the camper making contact with the bed rails at such an angle. It never made contact.

Yep, our plans were greatly altered on that trip ... Florence Marina State Park will just have to wait for another day.





For Gubs:

Hang in there. Every thing WILL work out and you'll have another opportunity. Keep the "RV faith" and maybe someday, we'll meet on the road somewhere!
