Day 4 of Ownership. Still at Dealership. A beautiful sunrise! Got up at 6 am to take the coach on our first ride, a 2 hour commute to Athens, TX for M&G to install an airline for our toad braking system. I was going to go shopping but given both of us were a bit nervous about yesterday's thrown code and engine shut down, I decided to go with him. I was fully equipped with phone numbers to call,"just in Case."
When it was daylight we fired her up and did an amazing 180 degree turn to get out of this lot going the correct direction. Slow and steady as to not wake our neighbors. Got around the back of the building and Check engine light came on followed by a total loss of power, just like yesterday!
Grabbed my phone but a golf cart full of techs was going by and I flagged them down. They immediately (I mean within one minute had a guy with a computer in our rig, testing stuff) We limped back around the building and back into our camping spot and were told that the Freightliner guy comes on Thursday so we are in luck. He showed up, tested and ordered an accelerator pedal sensor for us that will be here tomorrow. Seems when we put on the gas, it tripped a code. Wonder why it did not do it on the drive home from Napannee? Terry asked if I ever knew why a light bulb worked one day and not the next.
So I went shopping anyway. Having made the commute in the Jeep we had no groceries and it was about time to eat in! I stocked up and got a new paper towel holder that is neatly installed inside a cupboard. I had to remove all kinds of warning labels to mount it in that convenient spot but it is done! We are very flexible RV owners.
I am so grateful the rig did not die out on the road! Stay tuned...
