Leo Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Drove up here to help clean out my wife's now vacant parents house. $1366 to fix the vehicle so we can drive home. Ouch! Gonna take a little longer to pay off the credit card. Kinda bummed but it could have been a lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastrophies Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I feel for you. My parents are experiencing the same thing right now. They took their travel trailer to New Mexico on vacation, yesterday while driving through Albuquerque, it just quit running on them. Had to get a wrecker to first haul them to a campground and cut loose from the trailer and then take it to the dealership. Got it "fixed" this morning, crankshaft sensor. Left out about noon, made it about 150 miles and as of about an hour ago, they were setting on the side of the rode again with the same problem. I guess they will find out on monday or maybe I should say, I will find out on Monday if I will be making an unscheduled trip to NM or not.

VermontHunter Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Vehicle troubles ... BLAH .... I've had more than my share of them, and I don't wish them on anyone. It's especially hard these days when funds are super tight ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Seems like at the worst possible times those gremlins show up. What is really unfortunate is the high cost of repairs today. Bummer, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Vehicle troubles ... BLAH .... I've had more than my share of them, and I don't wish them on anyone. It's especially hard these days when funds are super tight ... Was gonna say the exact same thing! I know I've been blessed with alot of safe trips to places out of state hunting but the odds are getting worse with each journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
