Yesterday one of my toweds died, at least it seems dead, today I went to the storage yard to get the MoHo and our utility trailer and the key for the padlock on the trailer is in the towed in the hospital, left the trailer and drove the MoHo home. About five miles from the yard I noticed the right side mirror was flat against the side of the MoHo. Stopped and got out to adjust the mirror which required I get off the freeway and then get on an on ramp to adjust the mirror. Finally found a open end wrench and managed to tighten the mirror enough to get home.
Got back in MoHo and started up the on ramp, engine died when I floored it to get up to speed to merge onto the freeway. Engine was a problem all the way home and died going up the hill to the house. I had to stop on a very steep hill and restart the engine. Tried to floor the engine and it started sputtering. Backed off on throttle and got home. Went to move the other towed and when I returned to the MoHo, there was coolant dripping on the pavement.
Turned out to be the vacuum actuated control valve for allowing hot coolant into the heater coil. Thought it was the hose clamp. No such luck it is a $25 valve.
Not enough yet?, we were suppose to leave for the desert with the DGKs for a few days to fix up their Mom and Auntie's cabin. The five days of prepaid camping is non-refundable.
Called our mechanic and he said not to hurry bringing it in as he can't get to it until next week.
I'm going to check the spark plug wires tonight in the dark, mechanic said the fuel system is in great shape(after I spent about a thou to have two new fuel pumps and all new hoses installed.
At least my GP approved a refill for my allergy inhalant medication.
Wife called, she is at the DD's house and they are all going out for diner so I'm on my own for that.
Wish I still drank SMW but DW made me give that up.
Waiting for commiseration and woossa-wossas.
