h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 That SMB. Sorry to hear about the troubles on her maiden voyage. There are several sponsors on this site that rent RVs. And it might be less expensive then renting and driving it down and back to the Fort. When I looked into renting one here, in oklahoma, and driving it down the mileage charge was ridiculous. I don't remember how many you were allowed per day but it wasn't much. If you are on tHe road and have limited internet I could contact the three different sponsors and see what's if anything they might have available for y'all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Also maybe your husband can drop the gas tank and drain out all the junk. I don't know if that's something he can do from the road easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CitaPita...Carmen 59 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ray, I would definitely consider flying in a renting from a sponsor. We've actually done that before. :) I'm just worried about availability so late in the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can check for you if you wish. Just give me the info about your rezzie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CitaPita...Carmen 59 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 We made it back home safely. After some troubleshooting we can say that the issue was absolutely caused by crud in the gas tank. Once the crud settled, Polly was running smoothly again. She is so comfy to ride in, I can't wait till we can do an actual trip in her. :) We're just hanging out at home today and tomorrow and we're going to fly into MCO on Wednesday. Working on renting a camper so that I don't have to let go of my reservation at the Fort. We'll make this happen somehow. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
