And what else could break on this trip...

Our second major trip in our 99 Winnebago Adventurer started out great, but as we traveled south strange things started happening...

The key to the fresh water tank broke. :E
The windshield wipers started acting up. :h ( see separate posting on this )
Upon unloading my mobility scooter, it broke. 😞
While getting a glass of water, the kitchen faucet exploded in DW's hand. :E ( That was not fun )

While I'm grateful that the repairs by both the mechanics were very reasonable, (Kudos to Gary at Victory 24/7 Roadside Repairs.)
I think I'm starting to get a little paranoid to the point that I'm seriously thinking of putting a couple of "gremlin bells" under the hood of our coach.
If you've never heard of a "gremlin bell" some bikers believe in hanging these little bells near the bottom of the frame of their motorcycle. The ringing of the bells is said to drive the road demons away.... :W

It seems there is a cycle to RV problems. You'll have several relatively trouble free years of travel and then a year of problems. Then several good years and then another bad year and so on and so on....

The key is preventative maintenance.
