The day finally arrived. Going to bring my camper home. Insurance and check in hand. What a thorough and complete job my dealer did. I was made to feel like family despite my questions. Great people.
I left the dealership to head home. A mile down the road I had to turn left. As I began to accelerate the truck began to shake and buck like a stallion on crack. 50...45...40...35...30 mph. Foot on the floor...truck will not go. Im on the by pass, cars buzzing by, and Im dead in the water.
Called dealer....he got a truck there within ten minutes. Camper is safe back at dealership...call local ford place. They say there is a chance they can get to me a week from Friday.
Argh...what to do? I tried to drive it. It got up to 55mph. Great...Ill try to limp home 25 miles. I was doing ok until I got to a hill. It just slowed down and began bucking again. Gotta quit now. Ford dealer in my home town sent his tow truck.
Camper is at the dealers. Truck is in the shop. Yes...an RV is a ticket to adventure. My first RV adventure did not last even one and one half miles...
...its hard to laugh.

On the bright side it happened within 25 miles of your house and not a couple hundred in the middle of nowhere...

But the first mile and a half, wasnt that fun? Nothing like total freedom knowing you could just pull over at anytime and have a virtual house to go relax in. The key to it all is a good generator. You running a Honda?
