As I type this I am sitting on the side of the road 10 miles east of Okc..
Picked coach up from Newell at 1030 this morn backed op to trailer and all of the sudden no power steering and the smell of hydraulic fluid.. Turn coach off notice approximately 5 gallons on the ground. How do I know 5 gallons ? Cuz reservoir in back was dry.. Newell sends someone out fixes blown hose right by fitting and splices in new 10 inch section.. By this time it's 4 we have some food head out to Okc.. 11 miles east of Okc hear boom and see lots of sparks.. Rear wheel passenger side of trailer blown.
No problem I have stacker. I get spare out , get jack ,turn on air compressor. Hook up air hose grab Impact gun grab sockets.. Don't have socket big enough for lug nuts and the trailer lugs are larger than the Mercedes lugs I have in stacker..[amoff][/amoff] I have with me..
Return to coach call blue sky roadside assistance. Post how 90 % preparedness don't mean squat if u can't get the lugnuts off
