July 25th Friday- Day #76 A truck is on its way!

 

It took all day yesterday and all afternoon today to find a truck at a dealership that would swap trucks. We thought we found a black truck this morning and by the time we contacted them it was sold. 

At 4:20 pm (they close at 5:00) a truck was found that would work! I am SO glad we didn't have to wait until Monday to find one. We were starting to run out of dealerships that were close enough to swap and transport trucks. Even thought of renting a truck that would haul the RV but then we would have to return it here in Montana, so that wouldn't work.

The new truck will be here tomorrow, papers will be signed on Monday. We will be back on the road on Tuesday!!! 

                 I took a walk to see the little petting zoo they have at the campground.

We are still waiting to hear something from the dealership about a truck. Guess it takes time when you have to "trade trucks"!

July 24th Thursday- Day #75

I try to think "it could always be worse" and "this too shall pass". 

We could have had an accident while traveling on the high, curvy roads through the Rocky Mountains in Canada with no cell service.  

At least we are at a campground that has utilities and a Walmart 10 minutes away. Things could have been a lot worse!

And a train 500 feet away that runs every couple of hours hauling mostly fuel. At least it doesn't blow a whistle and run after 12:00 am!

Spent the day at the Dealership. Everyone has been great trying to help us in both service and sales. There was even a lady waiting for her vehicle to be serviced that overheard what was going on. She offered to keep our RV at her farm if we needed to store it for a few months!

The issue with GMC is a parts request has been placed and they will not even look at it for 14 days. There is no thing as an emergency. After that they will tell us that the part is on back order (covered by warranty) and as we know it is around a three month wait. 

Right now it looks like our only hope is that they can find a truck that we can buy. Fingers crossed! This too shall pass and we will be on the road again.
