did my 3rd or 4th camping trip...
horrible rain storm Saturday morning... left at 0400 to get to the
AKC NY show... RV handling so amazing, I'm so pleased...
well half way there the wiper motor DRIVERS SIDE
stops working with a winding down sound... EEEEEK...
and stops dead center of my eyes... I found a safe place to stop to move the blade to the center.. and
I drove the rest of the way there following the white center line
praying I would be OK...
Thank goodness for my GPS and my GPS having VOICE as no way would
I navigate my way without that indicator...
I did call 3 RV places but none have techs working on the weekend
as I thought take the wiper motor from passenger side and move
to DRiver's side for my ride back home on Sunday.
Sigh, just hoping this is not going to be an expensive fix.
I then pull into the local walmart 3290 Sheridan Drive
Amherst, NY later that afternoon, only to be told “nicely” by the manager “oh we don’t allow
Overnight RV camping here. You need to go to a truck stop 20 minutes away”.
Wow so much for friendly walmart where I spend a small fortune every month ?
My friend was staying at a local Red roof motel and told them my plight and they
Said I could park in their parking lot overnight not a problem FREE and
I had their wifi, ice machine, grassy area well lit to toilet the dogs…
Good things do happen... LOL
