So here I sit on the side of the road almost to beautiful Athens, TX. Karen has gone to pick up a new Turbocharger from a Freightliner dealer near TexArkana, TX about 2.5 hours away. The shop is sending a mechanic out in the morning to install the turbo. I am waiting with the coach in case the Highway patrol passes by and tries to tow us away. I tried finding a ‘Bus Trailer’ (like a longer Landoll or LowBoy trailer) but no luck. CoachNet has been little use and never called us back. There are NO trucks around here with stingers that have WHEEL lifts on them (the ONLY kind to use as long as the coach stays on it and safety chains are used). Someone did say that there was one company that could come and do it but I refuse to use them after what happened the last time with them.
1.5 hours from the shop seems to be the litmus test for engines for us for some reason. At least we are not in the middle of the desert somewhere...
