While driving home today, I noticed heavier than normal traffic, especially for mothers day. I slow crawled over two hills and then I could see the problem, as people are trying to turn around or squeeze by this old Chevy P30 motor home. It straddling across both lanes diagonally and no one was stopping to help.

Mind you, turning around adds more time to get home for mothers day. So, I get up to the ole behemoth and told everyone to get it, and put it in neutral 😐.

No one listened, when they saw me hook up to the front-end. Everyone had the πŸ’‘ turn on. I gave it hell, and we'll freed up the road way. Sorry no action shots while in the roadway the driver were crazy.

But, chalk one more up for the Maverick, the people in thier yards were all saying hahaha πŸ˜† that won't move that's ole thing it's too heavy. I said four wheel locked πŸ”’, rear end locked πŸ”’ watch πŸ‘€ this.

The first to pulls weren't great only got half a lane out of it, I had to reposition due to the uphill grade. The third pull was the one πŸ‘ŒπŸ½. The neighbors closed there mouths and walked πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ away.

I undid my rigging and packed up. The front bumper had a few new signature custom tow points πŸ‘‰ . Onward.

Booyah πŸ‘ŠπŸ½ 😁 πŸ‘πŸ½ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

It was on decent incline, and I was in the dirt with my Tremor and was going to look like a foul. The five adults in the land yacht said they tried to push it. I just pulled it.

Saved my mother's day plans.

What was the issue that caused it to die?
I can guess, it was common for those old Chevy engines, commonly used in RVs, to evaporate fuel in the fuel line causing the engine to stall. It happened because the line ran over the top of the exhaust manifold. πŸ‘Ž We had one of the engines in question in our first RV, it sucked. Just putting a layer of aluminum foil over the exhaust manifold near the line helped somewhat.
