So we began this journey with great hopes and many plans...Oh how things change quickly! Last night as Mo and I were working on finishing loading up, we got ready to leave and the steps would not retract...So Mo and I looked in the manual (what a surprise for men right....) and found nothing! The places that they said existed don't exist at least according to us! There is no battery disconnect compartment! AUGH!!! So we called the owner and he scheduled a visit with Mid-State RV in Byron, GA. So we added a "scheduled" stop to our journey across country and luckily it only took 3o minutes in Byrona nd then we were back on the road!!! WOOO HOOO!
So, we're on our way right? We were for awhile and then we hit a storm that slowed everything down and then while Mo's driving he says, "Hey Matt, there's light on up here!" and it's the "Check Engine Light!" and "look now there's another one, and it says the engine's overheating..." Cool, no really cool! We stopped behind a police officer and looked at the engine to see what was wrong and then ran back to the coach because it was raining CATS and DOGS! We drove a little further and stopped again, and decided to try and limp to the nearest exit... Now I've heard it said that coincidences increase as prayer increases, so whoever was praying, THANKS! The exit that we got off at had a "Pilot" truckstop. We found out then that we had broken a belt and it was causing us to overheat! So I talked to the service center and they suggested that we go across the street...Now if you're like me you're thinking that he was blowing us off to save him time...but actually he sent us to a "Freightliner" service center. Guess who made the RV we're in...that's right Freightliner! So we drove across the street and found out that they have a belt and can fix it.
So, we're a little behind schedule getting to SC but we're safe and everyone has a GREAT ATTITUDE! They're all palying and having a good time!
GOTTA LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER...AND THEN FALLS APART...AND THEN COMES BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!!!
Blog at you later!

Good morning you guys! I hope that you are all well rested and eager to drive that RV a little further without any problems. Karon your brother said that he would come and spoon with you if you need him to. Just kidding. I hope that you have a great day and fill me in later.
