We're still in Tucson, waiting to have the motor home tuned up before we head south. She was running a bit rough and coughing and burping a bit--and then this afternoon she died on an on-ramp just as we were heading south to Nogales. So we've had her towed to a repair shop.
We're staying here overnight, plugged in with a cord so we have electricity and someone named Manny is providing us with wireless internet. It probably doesn't matter that we're parked beside a tattoo parlour and across from a 7-11 that chains up their wine. These perks are what we pay the big bucks for at the RV parks but tonight they're free. Some consolation for the $185 tow charge to get Mohita here tonight. We're actually glad this happened because we now realize we needed to address these problems before we get to Mexico. So tomorrow morning we'll get her tuned up and then head on down the road.

I'm a little surprised the motorhome lasted this long without major mechanical trouble. I hope its the last though.
What's your plan for getting at that wine in the 7-11? The chains would seem to foil the old grab and dash technique, but a little ingenuity will get you a long way.
We planned to use the dogs as decoys but Geordie was too afraid to leave his spot under the table in the motorhome because of traffic and airplane noise. So that plan was foiled.
Check your ichat from time to time as we can sometimes link to strong wireless.
Hey Jamie,
Rumour has it that they heard that mom was coming to town so they chained up all the chardonnay. Not a very charitable thing to do.
Love,dad
