Hopefully, they can look at it today.
BTW, we do have Good Sam for insurance, but we were told they don't offer roadside assistance for Skoolies.
We would like to keep them, but need to find a company that may provide just roadside only. I think we may have to switch insurance companies to get it, IDK. It cost us $600 for the tow.
Oh, and the tow company let us ride in our bus as they towed us. That was an adventure. Haha
Anyways, I hope everyone is having a great day.

I just competed a 1400 mile ride from South Florida to central Texas towing my Chrysler Sebring behind the bus, right after a fresh in-frame rebuild. Only had 50 miles on the engine when I departed.
When i got here, after about 3 days I went to start the bus and it would not start!
I noticed some oil on the hitch and wiring and that lead me to start looking for an oil leak. did not find one!
check the oil and it was super low. I put in one gallon and a half of fresh oil and she started right up!
Guess there wasn't enough oil to make it to the HPOP reservoir ?
Glad it was an easy fix but I still got to find out why it even lost that amount of oil to begin with! I am hoping this event was just part of the break-in of the new motor/rebuild.
