Today we left Jeremy’s parents and headed toward Rockford, Illinois – the destination of our “stuff” for the next four months (and where we, eventually, Lord willing, we will be living ☺). We were making good progress (at least I assume we were – I was sleeping) and made our second stop for gas in Michigan City, IN. After filling up, we turned left out of the gas station and promptly stalled in the middle lane! The RV wouldn’t start again! We called a few places trying to get someone to come tow us, but everyone had an excuse why they couldn’t come. Finally a policeman stopped by and asked how things were going and if we had gotten someone to tow us. We told him they said they couldn’t come and he answered “Oh, they’ll come if I call them.” And he was right – the company we had called and who had said no were there in 10 minutes! They towed us to a very helpful mechanic.
Well, to make a long story short, the RV is in Michigan City getting fixed – we took the car off the tow dolly and drove to Rockford since we need to be there to welcome the moving trailer tomorrow morning. We’re praying that they find the problem (seems like an electrical problem plus high oil pressure) and that it won’t be too much.
