We left Fredericksburg about noon and headed northwest up thru Winchester and Rt 522 to I-68 & I-70. About a 100 miles out it was time to stop. As we were going on to an exit ramp into a rest area it happened. The engine light came on “Check Engine”. We stopped and idled the engine up since we were coming off a a long drag up a hill . All gauges were normal. I looked under the coach for liquids – none. I got back in the coach and turned the engine off. Waited about 15 minutes and turned it back on. No power what so ever, barely would run and a very loud knocking from the engine. It was broke. We called Coach-Net Towing at 3:30PM. A tow truck came at 11 PM. We were towed 60 miles to Hagerstown Freightliner. When the tow truck left us it was 2 AM. Needless to say we were tired.
So here we sit with a broken motor in a truck repair shop (Freightliner). Oh, isn’t full timing great. Hey, “Everyday’s An Adventure.”
See Ya………..maybe
PS – we don’t have WiFi here but we can go down the road and get it, so things might be a little slow until we get the “word” on repairs.
