We pulled out of Rockport TX on May 11. We had an appointment in Florida the following Monday for some warranty work and new window for our coach. Unfortunately we didn't make it until June 3. So let me begin our trials and adventures.
We pulled out of Rockport TX on May 11. We had an appointment in Florida the following Monday for some warranty work and new window for our coach. Unfortunately we didn't make it until June 3. So let me begin our trials and adventures.
We got about 150 miles and the coach Overheat light came on so we pulled off at the next exit. We had just gotten on I-10 and exited near Glidden TX to assess our situation.
We parked in a large gravel lot right off the exit in front of what looked like a barn and next to an RV park. Well the barn turned out to be a large open bar. How lucky is that! So we called CoachNet and sat back with a cold beer, Lone Star of course, and waited for the tow truck. CoachNet kept us in the loop the entire time.
And yes, those are bugs.
The tow truck finally arrived and hooked up the coach. It was huge! I can't even get it all in one picture! Everyone in the bar came out to watch - it was probably the most excitement folks had seen in these parts in a long time.
The tow went well and the coach was finally parked in the repair lot at Truck and Tracks in Weimer TX. www.truckandtracks.com
It set us back a few days so we had a chance to get to know the area. If you love BBQ, Peter's in Elliger TX has the best!
Although it took a few days and a couple test drives, all the coach needed was a new thermostat. It was under the closet floor and the guy had to be an acrobat to get to it. Truck and Tracks would not release us until Friday evening because they wanted to make sure everything was A-OK. We thank them for their diligence and hard work to diagnose the problem. They are truly professional.
So here we are all hitched up and ready to drive through Houston.
At 3 am.
At 3 am.
Stay tuned for more adventures as we travel to Florida!
