I love Ehrenberg. It looks to be too hot for me right now. If you go west on the road in front of the truck stop and all the truck wash and other related buildings you will see a little sign in the left saying something like Oxbow river access. Turn left there. There’s an empty parking...

That is not true. He has been taking plenty of donations. I became aware of his hustle while I was parked beneath him in Parker two years ago as I watched him sort through which donations he was going to keep for himself and his friends rather than give to the truly needy. I was hit up twice...

I ended up getting taken by an unethical nomad mechanic. He changed my spark plugs and wires and charged me over $400 for less than a hours work. I haven’t been with the caravans but am still on the road. I am quickly becoming disenchanted with nomads of...

Yup. It seems that if he gets the numbers he did last year he stands to gain upwards of $50,000. RTR costs 10k. What is he doing with the rest of the proceeds?? He’s going to make a killing. Just for everyone’s information this event has nothing to do with CRVL or HOWA. Not only will he...

There is a ticking noise. Someone thought it was a plug wire. Anyway, there is no way I can afford a new engine and am going to have to limp around with it until I can save up enough to do anything. Does anyone know how much a compression check might cost? And if putting in a different...

Absolutely worth every penny

Von thinks I need a whole new engine. Thank you all for your concern. It will be a long, long time before I can afford anything like that. Sorry I haven’t responded to messages. I have a hard time navigating this site in my phone. If you are the praying type please keep me in your prayers...

I am currently in the Ehrenberg area for the winter. I will be at the RTR and this general area until April. Is there anyone mechanically inclined that could take a peak and give me your opinion regarding possibly replacing it or if I should keep it the way it is. If you follow this...

Headache, I hope to see you in Ehrenberg. Take care. [emoji3590] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much. I met a few kind souls last year but am mainly a loner. I’m going to the van build to help do solar and hopefully get someone to mount my panels for me. I have a hard time asking for help face to face. It’s easy online but it’s harder asking someone to put themselves out in...

They ended up putting a new distributor cap and adjusted the timing. $450. I gather that the Holley carburetor is too much for the engine. It makes sense. I believe while going up an incline in overdrive it was flooding the engine. Not their words but mine. I don’t know if this is normal or...

I keep breaking into tears. I know it’s not hopeless but I feel helpless and hopeless. I was panicking 2 days ago but felt much better getting to the rest stop. Pretty glad right now that I didn’t win that Dometic cfx28 fridge I bid $444. for on EBay. It was in Salt Lake City and was going to...

I finally got towed into Idaho Falls last night. AAA was all messed up. I got to the only mechanic I could find open but they couldn’t do much. They don’t think it is the fuel pump. They are talking about it being the timing. I am cold and scared but safe. Day 3 of just a miserable...

Thank you everyone. AAA had some mix up and ended up sending no one. I found a shop that is open but it is 90 minutes away and the tow truck is coming from there. So at least 3 more hours. I don’t know how AAA did business without cell service. My cell phone will not work and has to call...

Thank you everyone. It is a 83 Chevy hightop. I can see the fuel filter and pretty sure the pump is under the hood. I have watched some videos and do not feel safe doing it myself. It is freezing here and snow tomorrow. I thought I would insulate while I was down there. I only got the van...

There is a shop here but no parts store. I am at a rest stop. It doesn’t say no overnight parking but I’m think 3 days may be too much. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am on my way to the van build. Anyone else traveling this way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Say, I think my fuel pump is going out. I was stuck on the interstate for a couple hours and made it to a little town named Lima, Montana. An old timer looked at it and thinks it’s the fuel pump. I have AAA but don’t have a shop to take it to and they all seem to be closed until Monday...

Ehrenberg is the greatest spot I have found. It is the river access area. Just go west in front of the truck stop and look for the river access sign. You go left and then take the first right and continue past the propane plant and over the railroad tracks and you are there. If you are in a...

Oh. And what is the difference between a Dometic CC and CFX? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
