Moya started bucking and bumping, and finally died on the side of the road. The Friday before a holiday weekend, and Coach Net is proving singularly useless. "Maybe" the Chevy dealer can look at us- on Tuesday. Finally a tow truck arrives- big enough to tow the car, but not equipped to tow an RV.
We are blessed, however: instead of a tow, we get a driver who knows a fella who is a mechanic, whom he calls. This lovely young man shows up, diagnoses our trouble as a bad ignition switch, wires around it and gets us on our way. He even offers to come help us if we get into further trouble- our East Texas hero!
Our joy is short-lived however- Moya exhibits a new problem. We decide to keep going, and I nurse her 100 miles into Livingston, where we limp into the Escapees Rainbow Park.
We stay here in Livingston a month, establishing our residency, registering vehicles and spending several thousand dollars having Moya worked on. finally ready to move southwest and look into gate guarding...
We pay various rates here, but around $15 a day, separate electric. The electric bill seems very high.
