Bad Trip
My last trip in my fifth-wheel was pretty bad and it's been hard to get motivated to go again.
The truck overheated and I took it to three different shops along my route. They charged over 300 dollars and never found the cause - it turned out to be a blown head gasket.
My front jacks wouldn't extend and I had to cross-wire the leads to the motor to unhook the RV.
My 12 volt system quit working so I lost my fridge, electric jacks, and the ability to put my slides in. The campground that I was staying at insisted that I had to leave NOW, despite the fact that I couldn't get the slides in or the jacks to retract.
I blew two tires that were less than a year old and it did about 1500 in damage to the RV.
I slid off a slick clay road and got stuck at 11 p.m. in a remote part of North Carolina.
After all of that, I'm now trying to get the truck and RV fixed so I can take it out and see what else has broken while it sat unused.
