Its the fuel Pump

Well the large tow truck came yesterday as promised.  After backing the tow truck up to the front of the motor home and raising the front of the motor home the driver (Rusty) had to crawl under it to disconnect the drive shaft.
It didn't take very long before he was on the way with Nancy and me following in the car.  It wasn't a very good feeling to see our home moving down the road like this.

After getting to the repair shop we waited a short time to see if they needed any information.
They would start on finding the problem after they finished up on another job they were working on.

So Nancy and I took off to the Cracker Barrel to get us a late breakfast with us taking our time eating and enjoying it knowing we had no need rushing.
After our meal we went to the Dollar Tree for a few thing that we needed.
From there it was to Walmart to do some shopping and more or less just to idle our time away.

After getting to the repair shop and our motor home I saw this buckets and buckets of gasoline so with the service manger (Jeff) telling me what I suspected that the fuel pump in the tank was reason for the motor home not starting.  He was waiting for the technician to remove the pump from the tank so he could get the numbers off it to order a new one.

We spent the night in the motor home where it sits hooked up to 50 amp so that was the nice part of it that we can be here as long as it takes to repair and not have the expense of a motel.
We it will not be more that a few days.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Unfortunately many of the RV Manufactures are using Chassis with those types of Fuel Systems.
Be Safe and Enjoy your stay the best way you can.

It's about time.

Good luck with your fuel pump, hope it goes easier than ours did. On our Holiday Rambler after draining the gas tank, we took it to our dealer, 3 days in the shop, remove levelling jacks empty 4 rear compartments, cut access holes to the bolts for the fuel tank, drop tank , replace fuel pump and reassemble. 2 mechanic on it for 3 days, 2 nights hotel for us finally all back together and on the road, A very expensive fix for us hope yours goes better. At the same time they found the fuel line for the generator was chewed and replaced that as well, now our generator works with out the extra gas can.
