Jim Gell Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 An exhaust part came off and must have broken a brake airline. We are waiting by exit 227 on I 75 just south of Atlanta, for Coachnet to come tow us. Looks like we be late. But thats what we thought when we broke down on way to Hutch last fall and repairs took too long for us to make it.

Jim Gell Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 My wife left with first truck towing Volvo a few minutes ago just as second tow arrived to take trailer and me to campground. But second truck did not have right hitch, so I will be here another hour at a minimum. 2001 Volvo 770, Detroit 60 Series, Gen 2 Autoshift Passenger assist elevator to enter cab - for when we need it, or sell it?
