PA still had some colors to offer




don't adjust your eyes the shots are a little
blurry around the sides due to the fact
that they were taken at highway speed, and you all
know what my highway speed is

today was a learning experience, we had a gentleman
pull up beside us and tell us that the trailer was
smoking really bad, some truckers noticed it and
he decided to chase us down which i am glad he did
evidently the brakes on the trailer were on and causing
them to over heat and smoke

having no idea what had happened i called an
rv service company which gave me a few ideas.

seems that if you let the spare tire to the trailer that you were
too lazy to put back under the trailer bounce around in the
back, it will bounce over the emergency release
for the brakes and pull the pin causing them to engage
you lean something new each day

and no i didn't put the tire under the trailer i just moved it
to in front of the hitch.

going to the hard rock cafe in pittsburgh was an adventure all
in itself, how many of you know that a trailer that is over
10 feet tall won't fit through an underpass that is only 8 feet 2 inches
with no other way out i was forced to be assisted
by a couple of the valet guys from the hotels to block
traffic and allow me to drive up a one way street the wrong way
and then back up into the valet area and turn around.
as i said you learn something new every day
2 in one day is more that i can handle.

  2. You have to admit that "so far" on this vacation it has been pretty uneventful when it comes to problems - no dents in trailer or truck, no trees in the readiator - it was only a matter of time until things started to pop! It must be getting close to time to head for home when the repair bills start costing more than the soveniers! LOL
