Finally got a chance to post this. Left Friday following another busnut to spend 4 days away from home on a much needed mini vacation. Hate to say it but it started out a little costly but not major. Arrived at the RV park to find a flat inner drive tire on drivers side. Figured that should be a priority to get fixed then instead of waiting for Sat, Sun, or even Mon.. Looked up tire repair shops in the local area on my Blackberry phone and called the first one. The young man was there within the hour. (He was in the middle of lunch when I called) He removed the outer, then the flat inner to find that the tire was in good shape but the valve was leaking. He changed the valve stem, filled it with air and re-mounted the two. Gone and so was 150 bucks which I thought was a bargain! Anyway, the park is a little slow due to being off season and not a lot to do but were having fun none the less. One thing you can bet on is this experience will prompt me to work on a toad. Feel sort of stranded with no place close by to walk or ride bikes to. I can see where toads can definitely come in handy!  We will leave in the morning for home and rest up for what lies ahead!

We have 3 options for toads 1 4x4 diesel chev 2500 PU 2 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 2, his & hers, 2001 Harley's on a trailer Never leave home without one of them. we hate feeling stranded and love to explore the area that we are parked in. That is a good price for wrestling 2 22.5 tires of your bus ... I don't know if I'd do it for that. Ron | ||

We look at our toad as insurance. It seems that every time we go someplace without a toad, we find that we need it (forgot to pack cat food, need a part, etc.). As long as we have the toad, it seems the trips run smoother. LOL Jack |
