Well, this was a great start. Today we move and head north. We pack up the RV and get our "toad" ready to move when Tom starts his usual routine of checking the basement and making sure it's locked. Then onto the tires, are they full of pressure. Oh, darn the outside rear passenger tire is FLAT!! Nancy, find the insurance info. We called the insurance company - we aren't going anyplace with a flat. Will she help us find a tow and perhaps someplace open to repair a tire on A Sunday? Our cell phone is going dead, we need to plug in...will she look and call us back in 15 minutes? Sure. In the meantime we continue to look for something to help us. We find a tow place in Haines City, they will come and help us. Yeah! Good thing as the insurance company can find no one in our area.
They arive in their 15 (?) minutes more like an hour and a half. The young kid fills the tire with air and it seems to be holding. Their is a GoodYear store just down the road and he will follow us to it. Saving us time and money. We only need to pay for the service call and air into the tire vs. a tow.
We arrive to find out that GoodYear will not fix tires on trucks and RV's. What to do we are blocking some of their service bays. One young man his brother in law works on trucks and RV's. We call and another hour and a half later he shows up. We have a self taping screw inbedded in the tire. He can fix it and so what started out as a day taking off at 8:30 instead turning into a day leaving at 12:30.
We wanted to get north of Atlanta so we drove until 10:00 that evening to arrive north of Atlanta. Not having a campsite we found a Walmart parking lot and stopped overnite there. What a day, glad it's over.
