Roll Call Alaska 2016

We are still in the road through no fault of our own. Our trip was super, duper and everything we wanted it to be, but was too much for our little Bullet Ultra-Lite. We limped into Reno knowing that we had issues with the bushings and bearings and a tire that would not stay inflated. Long story short, not only did we have all those issues but a broken (and torqued)frame as well. We were fortunate to get great folks to work with us and we were on our way within a week with a rebuilt frame, two new tires, etc. etc. Just outside Grand Junction we blew a tire. The "new" spare that had never been on the ground. Discount Tire replaced it, gave us two new tires,and switched all four around. Just inside Kansas City a truck stopped us and said something had broken (he heard it break) and was hanging down. It was a leaf spring. After consulting with the service manager at TransWest, we crawled slowly to their place in Belton MO. We have been "camped" with these wonderful folks for the past three days waiting for parts to arrive. Today, when they actually started working on the TT, we learned of other problems. Our plan was to try to get the Bullet back to Florida, sell it and buy a B+ or small C. With this in mind, I have been researching the internet since Reno. I knew what we wanted and TransWest had it. This afternoon we traded in our poor Bullet for a Renegade Villagio. Tomorrow we have to downsize to fit into it. Then we have to drive two vehicles home. What an end to our amazing adventure! lizzie
