Full-Time RV Nightmares: 2 Breakdowns in 2 Weeks - What to Do?

  • As with life in general, things don't always go as planned. And that's what happened to us twice in the past couple of weeks on our big RV road trip through National Parks in the USA.
    In this video, we share what happened, how it changed our plans, and what it's like to have your car and RV break down in the middle of a National Park.
    From our Jeep breaking down inside Yellowstone National Park where we had no cell signal, to our motorhome breaking down inside Grand Teton National Park (and having it towed more than 130 miles to the nearest Cummins authorized service center... which happened to be in another state), it was quite the experience! It's a crazy thing to see your home being loaded onto a flat bed tow truck. But what an amazing transformer-like tow truck it was!
    It's all part of the adventure of full-time RV life!

    It’s been an interesting couple of weeks! Yes, it was unnerving watching our home be loaded onto a flatbed truck and travel 130+ miles to a repair shop. But it all worked out and we’re back on the road. Just a little road block we had to get around. And all part of the adventure of life! 😁

    Buying a quality RV where the companies involved stand behind their product was a smart move on your part. Glad your warranty was still in affect. Modern vehicles have so many computers monitoring everything that breakdowns are bound to happen from time to time. Glad you are safe and everything worked out for the best. Enjoying watching this whole National Park travel series.

    Sorry for your breakdowns. A friend shared with me this little missive before I moved into my RV. I believe it holds true. "By nature, an adventure is a bit of a bother." Your positive attitudes lesson the stress. And that was an awesome tow truck. Those guys were real pros.

      @rvamericayall  Pƙed 4 lety +1

      😁 Keeping on top of maintenance is important to try to avoid issues. But we’ve been vigilant with that and things obviously still can happen. Our best advice would be to know what coverages you have (roadside assistance, warranty, etc) and keep a call list handy so you know who you can contact just in case. Also, there’s no point in getting upset over what you can’t control. Cooler heads prevail and it is what it is. It’s all part of the adventure.

  • @bchlvrbob

    We have been towed twice in 9 years. One of those times we were on the shoulder of IH-25 near Spartanburg, SC. It was no fun watching, and feeling, traffic flying by at 75 mph while waiting over 2 hours for a tow. The stress level was high. You are fortunate you had the pullout to provide some safety but I can’t image a 3 hour tow. Ours was about 30 minutes. Safe travels, and thanks for sharing.

    Wow, y'all had great luck all around. We have the same model and year motorhome. Ours went down for the same reason (DEF distributor) on Memorial Day weekend as we pulled into fuel near Mackinaw City, Michigan. Needless to say we did not make the campground. The tow was over two hours away in Sault Ste Marie Michigan, the FMCA roadside assistance didn't followup properly and the wrecker driver started to go back home just as we followed up and called him direct. Two and a half hours later he arrived. I took an hour load for a 125 mile trip to the nearest service center (which fortunately was our home town). We got in about 11:00 that night. This was Friday. With the holiday weekend we could not get service until the following Tuesday. Then we found out from Tiffin that the part was not available for over a month. As per Tiffin, Mr. Bob Tiffin located a used part, had the factory do a remanufacture job on it and overnight it to our Cumins repair center. The total process took about two weeks with everybody busting tail. Good news was we are snow birders and were at our house. A couple of weeks and over $2,000 in towing later we were fixed. Makes me glad we were not full timing it..... our dog hates hotels :) glad to see y'all are OK.

    God bless you you y'all! I am glad that Cummins and Tiffin both stepped up for you. That is so wonderful. 🙂 This past spring we were headed from Sarasota Florida to Chattanooga Tennessee for a conference in our 42' class A diesel pusher. As soon as we got to the Florida Georgia line our generator broke down. We had a refrigerator full of food too. My wife called all around, but being 5:15 pm either everyone was closed or they didn't work on Onan generators. We discussed our options and decided to drive straight through to Chattanooga instead of staying the night in a Walmart parking lot like we had planned. We pulled into Chattanooga at 2:30 am and stayed in a Bass Pro Shop parking lot later that morning we took the coach to Cummins. They got us in within 30 minutes. They were super nice to us. They even told us about the Cummins Club. Once you join you receive 10% off of both parts and labor at all Cummins dealerships. By noon we were all fixed and back on the road. We checked into the RV park and made it to the conference on time. Our eight house batteries kept our residential refrigerator running the whole time. We didn't lose any food, But, the batteries were definitely happy to be charged when we got to the RV park. Lol!! I am glad everyone took such great care of you and that you are safe. Happy travels!
