the break down

[chicknnhead]

it couldn't have gone any better...lol
well going from Stl to lawerence KS, i got 5 blocks from where i was going(swap meet)
I pulled off the hwy to get a few gallons of gas bacuase i wasn't exactly sure where i was going and wanted to have a few more gallons(as it turns out i was only going 5 blocks) anyway pull up to the pump, get gas and a soda, come out fire the rig up and notice the temp guages higher then i have even seen them, but not out of range. as i round the pumps to leave i realize both temp gauges are climbing into the hot so i circle out by the curb and shut her down. it seems i had broken the water pump belt. i had all the tools with me except for one wrench. i even had an extra belt. across the street was a tool place so i walked across the street bought the size wrench i needed and 45 mins later i was leaving the gas station.
it actually couldn't have gone any better, was day light, not on the side of the highway, had everything i needed and the one thing i didn't i got across the street.
even used my new honda generator for the first time while i was broke down...lol

i stopped to take a pic of my buddy helping me and my dad



and i have no idea why lawrence KS has a palm tree...ha ha

Well... one good thing:  your RV looks great even when it's broken!

[ClydesdaleKevin]

Hurray for being prepared!  And for being lucky enough to have that tool place across the street!

I love how your Dad looks like he's supervising and giving orders to the young whippersnapper on the ground...lol!

Did ya notice the fuel price $299.9  Wow!!! were down to $385.9 now Eastern Pa. Frank

[HandyDan]

To be fair, that is the price of E85 gas.  Regular is somewhat more.

[brians69d24]

3.42 for regular? I paid 4.09 here in CT today.  What is E85? Is that  15% alcohol?

E 85 is 85% ethanol, some states in the Midwest give the E85 a tax break especially the corn growing states. It is 10-15 % less efficient than gas. Only flex fuel vehicles can burn it.
