10/29/14 - On 10/28 we did not get much accomplished. It was just a very laid back day.
Today, we left around 11:00am for Lakeland, Florida which was about 90 miles. We decided to stop at a rest stop for lunch before we actually get to the RV campground. Just as I got off the freeway, the engine check light went on and then a red stop engine light when on and before I could even pull into a spot, the engine just shut off!! I made some phone calls to see if I could get someone to come out and check it out. After several phone calls, a mechanic thought I could very slowly keep moving for about 25 miles and we had about 20 miles left. I started the engine back up and we were only 4 1/2 miles from the campground when the light went on again. I drove into an empty parking lot. We unhooked the car and drove to the campground to check in and let things set for a while. We went back and got the RV and started out 4 1/2 mile journey. Then there was an accident and we crept along. One time again in the middle of traffic the engine stopped but before traffic moved again, I was able to get her started. We made it to the campground but then when I was trying to back her into the space, she decided again to shut down. Needless to say, we finally got parked, hooked up and now tomorrow I am looking for a mechanic. My nephew seems to think that I have water in the fuel pump or in the diesel tank. I sure hope it will be that simple to repair. We are scheduled into Bradenton on 11/1.
