I have hesitated to update everyone; since we still have not found a mechanic and gotten a definitive answer as to what exactly is wrong with our motorhome's engine. Today we traveled to Dilley to visit a shop that has agreed to work on it. That in itself is a step forward as most mechanics tell us they are at least a week or more out from starting on it. Are you listening out there?? If I was younger and had a little start up money, I'd be looking at doing diesel repair down here. More specifically, I'd get a mobile business going. And don't even get me started on RV repair in these parts. What really got me going was the lack of and cost of hotel rooms in the Eagle Ford shale. And they are building more; mucho mas! We may be out of the motorhome for a day or two during repairs and we checked out some rooms. We're not talking the Waldorf here folks-but the average room is going for over $125 or more. I say all this so if you're faced with a similar situation, be ready for a TOUGH time and difficulty in getting anything done. We are hoping a mechanic shows up tomorrow and we can determine why the engine won't turn. I'll update when I know more.
