Anyone who knows me, (Joan) knows I am the type of person who likes to plan my day (week, month, year and life) and does not cope well with a change. We got up bright and early today, had our route planned (there’s that word again) for the rest of our trip to San Antonio, went to hook up the car (our favorite task) and we had no lights.
The signals and brake lights on the coach were working and the car lights were working but they were not working in conjunction with each other. It’s a law in every state, I think, when you brake on the coach the car lights have to come on.
Also, anyone who knows us, knows we are not mechanically inclined. To make a long story short, after 8 phone calls we got an on-site RV repairman to come out to the campground and repair the cable that connects the 2 vehicles.
We were pleased we found someone & that it was only the cable and not one of the ports, but it delayed us by 4 hours…..so much for our plans. So, instead of making it to Columbus, TX we stopped in Baytown , almost 100 miles short.
We were fortunate to find a very nice campground in Baytown with a vacancy. We are finding as we move closer to Texas, with the influx of “snow birds” that the sites are filling up.
We are still trying to make it to San Antonio by tomorrow, but it has not stopped raining for over 7 hours so we’ll see.
Hope all is well!
Joan & Ron
