Still Kicking

Yup,we are still kicking and still in St. Albert.
Supposed to go to Whitecourt this weekend but that's not going to happen.

I had to take the bus into get a new wheel seal installed(warranty) on Wed.

 After seeing my neighbour get stuck trying to get out of his spot in the campground on Tuesday,I decided to try and move our rig.

Big Mistake

As soon as I moved the coach 1 ft the front tires buried in the mud and gravel.

The tow truck that pulled out the 5r and truck said he would not touch it and said call cliff's Towing.

So along comes Cliff's.

This guy spent 1/2 hr on the phone and decided he should call a bigger truck.

A bigger truck.

This guy sees that the front end is sitting on the ground and there is no way of getting under it and no way of towing it.

They have air bags to lift it but there is no way of getting the air bags under it.

He decides to call another big truck.

So now we have 2  Trucks

We also have some ingenuity. 

One truck on either side with a strop through a wheel hole held in place by a piece of metal(looked like a wrist pin out of a large engine.

They are positioned ahead of the coach and now they lift,while I keep my foot on the brake.

After they lift the front,they fill in the holes.

I slowly release the brake and we roll forward.

Once we have cleared the front tires of the soft stuff,they lower me and I drive it out.

Cool EH!
