It's not just today. I have had a terrible trip this winter. We started out in Houston and we had two roof leaks. I found some eternabond to fix them. Then my thermostat wouldn't read zone 2 and I found a poor wire connection from the front AC to the back AC. ( I will fix this summer). Then my lite fixtures burned out several bulbs. Today I had to replace the sliding door plastic latch that broke. Had to replace the lisc plate taq light. The front curtain rail clips broke. My generator quit working on the Refer when traveling. My engine door strut bracket pulled out. Had to replace the water pump last week. My new Toad is not gettin enought charge to keep the battery up. This has been a trip from hell for repairs and problems. Maybe I need a new MH but this one is paid for. We will travel back to Denver from Calif next week and hope nothing goes wrong!!!!!
Gee, someone else with our sort of luck. We never complete a Mexico trip without something going wrong.
This year, first the heatpump failed. Fortunately were able to get it fixed as a tech was going back to the USA for stock for his business and brought a new compressor down. But 6 weeks in Zihuatanejo with no AC.
Then on the way home it's a diesel fuel leak. The back of the rig and most of the Jeep were covered in a nice rust preventive film. Figure we leaked 30 or 40 gallons between Pitiquito, Sonora and Ajo Arizona. Now we are waiting for Monday to find a mechanic.
Last year it was a burnt wiring harness that kept shorting and locking the Allison in what ever gear it was in at the time and almost simultaneously an air line blew out.
The year before the serpentine belt broke, we spent 7 hours on the shoulder of a Mexican toll road before we were moving again.
Other that that it's a great life!
