Was returning from Northern Cali by myself in my 40' Friendship, had only had the rig a couple months at that time. I generally do not buy extended warranties. Darn glad I did. The warranty company spent so much they refused the final repairs and told me to take them to court. That's another story.
I was just starting down the long downgrade they call the grapevine. What is that buzzing noise? I learned it was the low air alarm!!
That was major pucker factor. I carefully conserved what air I had by minimizing my braking while likely exceeding the speed limit. I had just a few pounds of air pressure left when I pulled the parking brake.
They sent a big rig tow truck, it's been a few years so don't recall, but it did take them a while to hook it up.
My serpentine belt failed, it took out the coolant recovery tank too. The compressor seized, that caused the belt to fail.
Way too exciting.
