After all the prep work and planning for this weeks Talledega trip, the new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, the new fuel filters, oil and coolant service, battery checks and charging checks, one would think we were ready. I decided to take it out for a final check out and the left front brake cliper decided it was time to grab the disc like a pitbull on a hogs ear. Still had time to have the fronts completely overhauled, and the rears checked, and if we lose any time this trip it won't be because of brakes.
This coach doesn't sit around much but this year due to the holding tank problem it didn't get out as much as we would have liked. A few months can fly by really quick and that's WAY too long to let your coach sit. Get it out and run it, especially if you have a trip planned.

Danny,
I did not get to leave for Talladega as planned due to Hurricane Rita. We will leave Friday morning. I will go by Saturday.

See Ya' There,
