Handling Mechanical Problems On The Road Handling mechanical problems on the road is a challenge for anyone. Especially nomads. Details in Handling-Mechanical-Problems-On-Road-Bob Davis Podcast 1131. Firstly this isn’t my first rodeo. Bigger Problems Above all I have been traveling for about ten years in my current rig. So I have had a few problems to deal with. However as a full time nomad it’s a bigger problem. This Is My House Not to mention the fact that the rig is also my house. This is important to make clear when the mechanic says, when do you want to pick it up? Freak Out Quickly In addition when it happens don’t freak out. Feel It And Move On Although emotions are not always easy to overcome in an emergency you have to feel it and move to problem solving. Padre Island Accordingly I was on my way to Padre Island National Seashore. To explain I I was having a great day thinking about where I was going to camp. Volt Meter All of a sudden I looked down at Mobile Podcast Command’s volt meter. To begin with the meter was reading lower than what it should have. And it was sinking. Happened Before Because this had happened before I knew what to do. I had to find somewhere to address the problem without delay. Firstly I found an auto repair shop within a mile. In this situation it’s important to realize you have to take what you get. Lucked Out Secondly I lucked into finding a great bunch of guys to help. Most importantly I tell that story in Handling-Mechanical-Problems-On-Road-Bob Davis Podcast 1131. Alternator In the long run I learned I needed two alternators. All things considered another lesson. Money It’s going to cost you money and you have to be prepared for that. Opportunity For The Sublime However this was also an occasion to stop and realize there are always opportunities for sublime experiences. In brief an opportunity to earn how other people work and what they do. Life On The Road As well as having an experience you didn’t plan on. That’s life on the road. And I suppose life in general.
