What to do, what to do????? UPDATE!!!!

[shadows4]

Sitting in the RV as I type this. We are in Table Rock State Park right now. We extended our stay one night already. Should we go for two???? LOL It has been unseasonably warm here in Missouri the last couple of weeks. Got up into the low 80's today and more of the same tomorrow. Dang, decisions, decisions.....:B

Great park and say a special prayer for God keeping you safe!

Original poster here. We got the truck back about 11:30 AM today. Less than $150 for repairs, so I am a happy camper. Wife said, "That's a relief, lets stay one more day!" So as the old saying goes, " If Momma ain't happy, no body will be happy."

Anyway we have to vacate the site tomorrow. So we will go home and put the 5er to bed for the winter. Thanks all, John

Timing is everything!!

Sounds like you're making it up... It's an excuse:D

During my time in the AF, it was amazing how many airplanes broke when they landed in the Azores for a enroute stop. You would have thought we were a third world country with an AF from WWI!

Seriously.. glad you found the problem before being on the road.

It's a message from God. Stay put.

Bum a ride and go over to the trout hatchery. Spend a nice afternoon feeding them - Especially the big ones over in the far pond.

Well we are still at Table Rock State Park. We had the 5er all ready to go. Wife backed the truck up to the 5er for me to hitch up. I got behind the wheel ready to drive away, she said "check the brakes, they didn't act right." Well I put my foot on the brake pedal and it went to the floor!!!! Wow!!! Glad we weren't on the hwy when it let go. Apparently a rear brake line rusted through.

Any way, Good Sam to the rescue. Towed the truck to a repair shop just across the hwy from the park. Parts have been ordered, truck will be first in line tomorrow morning.

Dang!!! We have to spend another night!!! I think we can tough it out. The good Lord was definitely watching over us today!!!

Rear brake line on my Blazer let go last year, like others have said glad it didn't let go on the highway.

Well if something bad is going to happen it happened in sort of a good way. You weren't on the road and you got to camp another night.

Enjoy your extra night and have a safe trip home.

Thanks for all the replies. Alas, we are heading home today.:(
Checkout time is 2 o'clock and we will be bumping up against it. We will take our time going home. Thanks again!!

We stayed at Gulf Shores an extra week and headed home. Stopped at Top Sail for one night a week ago and we're still here. The weather has been great the last month so we may stay on the shore for as while longer

We come into the area every Thanksgiving. Usually very cold and rain. Hopefully this year it will still be warm. Thanks for the report.

One of my favorite parks and areas. Go for two!!!

I think I'd stay................ wait, I know I'd stay. Hopefully we'll be there in a few days.
