Going home last march had a tire delimate on the TV, myself, a policeman and 2 tow truck drivers could not get the spare of from under the truck, TV and RV towed to Needles CA to a Shell station.... $1000.00 and 4 new tires and we left, the spare still stuck under the TV. When I arrived home it took 2 hrs for 2 guys to get the tire off.
That was the good news.
Driving on Hwy 40 in CA ( the roughest road we have been on, even the semi's were driving in the left lane) we stopped for gas at a shell station just off the hwy. DW says we have been here before, this is where we got our new tires.. she was right, as I was maneuvering to get on the right side of the pumps for diesel, this guy starts walking back alone the RV. while filling up he says their was something clanking in the under carrage...Sure enoughsome bolts were loose and a spring misaligned...needless to say with new springs and shocks we left $ 4000.00 poorer But much safer
Moral of the story I will be avoiding Needles CA in the future..That place is good but expensive
