Wrote yesterday about our trip to Kerrville with the grandsons, but only the good stuff. We did have a good time, but the trip was plagued with problems.
When we first opened the trailer at Cheryl’s, the ceiling fan had fallen out of the ceiling. Had to take the whole thing apart to get it mounted again. Then when we closed the trailer back up one of the slides caught a fan blade and broke it off.
Several other issues – just minor aggravations, really – until we were almost home.
On Beltway 8, just over a half hour away from home and thinking our troubles were over when we had a blowout on the trailer. Called road service and was informed that would be at least an hour and a half before anyone could get there. Try sitting beside a freeway in 100 degree heat for a couple hours.
When the tire guy did arrive, we discovered that the spare tire carrier under the trailer was damaged and the tire would not come down. He had to climb under the trailer at cut the tire loose, and now a new carrier has to be ordered. The chances of it showing up before our next long trip are somewhere between slim and none, but we’re hoping.
Heading out in a few minutes to get new tires on the truck (planned) and on the trailer (unplanned) and hopefully I’ll get the trailer to the dealer before they close for the day.
