Luckily we had upgraded our AAA to RV+ and it paid the tow (they have a 100 mile limit but let it go). One of my readers later told me if I had run the generator, I could have driven there myself as the generator feeds the truck as well. Oh well, next time!Crofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-10111724867145518882012-05-12T11:12:45.217-04:002012-05-12T11:12:45.217-04:00We had our starter do that to us once but it was i...We had our starter do that to us once but it was in our 40' motorhome and we were in the middle of nowhere!

AAA only pays for 5 miles for a tow and it is now $5/mile for any extra.DChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01248713708951896415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-14715280091149916292012-05-11T23:09:26.350-04:002012-05-11T23:09:26.350-04:00Wow!
