HIGHWAY GUYS

Steve and Peter travel the roads of the U.S. in an RV (called The Beast). Steve is retired and disabled (mobility impaired) and Peter is his service dog. They started their adventure on September 11th ,2003. Home base currently is Los Angeles, California. On the road, they live in a 1993, 28 foot, Allegro Bay class A motor home. Their goal is just to enjoy the thrill of travel and exploration for as long as the Beast and their health allow.

100430 - Redlands RV Repair

Redlands Truck and RV Repair
Redlands, California

Back in November of last year, during the” other season” southern Californians call “Not Summer”, the Beast underwent some major surgery on its suspension. We were told that the alignment should be checked after 500 miles and the inspection would be free. (as if I already didn't pay for it). We spent most of out time in the southwestern area and with warmer weather approaching, headed west for out free checkup. Now I am not saying that a mechanical malfunction can be a good thing, but sometimes it can be fortuitous. The night before our mechanic’s appointment, while boondocking at Wal-Mart, the electric generator failed to start. It could not have failed at a more opportune time.

It turned out to be just a cracked fuel line which was easily replaced and inexpensively too I might add.
Redlands RV is hands down a great repair shop and the employees are terrific people. Shane checked out Beast, watched over the work to be done and kept us informed. He hooked us up for an overnight stay so we didn’t have to drive at night and even made sure our windshield was scrubbed clean (it really needed it). Karen made sure we were comfortable during the day and pampered Danny with treats and kept a water bowl filled for him.
