Made it to the valley
We took just over two weeks to make it from Ontario to the RGV. ABout 2100 miles. Visited family, had some fun in Memphis, New Orleans and Galveston.
Our rig performed pretty well except for the short day we didn't have trailer brakes - somehow THREE of the wires on the 5er axles were cut. I must have hit something that jumped up and cut them, but I don't remember doing so.
The strangest thing that happened was on our first day where some guy in a SUV pulled up beside me and honk honk honk and pointing back at the lower side of the 5er. I was on a 6 lane highway but I pulled over to the shoulder and did a quick check - nothing. I wasn't safe there so went slowly to the next exit where both DW and I did a thorough check - nothing. We went another 50 miles to a service center where I got DW behind the wheel and had her back up and go forward while I was watching the wheels rotate - nothing. We never did find a problem (it wasn't the brakes). I can't imagine why the guy did it - just to mess with our heads? Very strange.
