Hi All,
Murphy seems to be with us on our trip from Europe to New Mexico. After having someone rearend our loaned car on the way to the airport we missed our flight to Washington because or dog wrecked her kennel, we arrived in Washington airport om March 1st. Immigration did not take up too much time, but then we had to go find our dog. Nobody knew where she was or what to do. When we finally located her in the cargo area 4 miles from the terminal the waybill or something was deleted from the system because of the delay. We finally got her out and found our hotel in Baltimore. Yesterday morning I went to pick up the coach and all the paperwork went easy, so I thought our troubles were over. No such thing.
The batteries were dead. After being jumpstarted I noticed the altenator did not charge and the tach didnt work. The engine soon died again. Than I found out the hatch had been opened, all the switches on the dash were in the wrong position and then I saw the complete fan assembly ,pullies and serpentine belt were loose in front of the engine. The waterpump shaft had snapped off, sending the fan into the radiator. I have no idea what happened, and nobody was able to tell me, they said they just drove it off the ship with no problems. I had it towed to a big parking lot on Broening Hwy. close to the harbour, to try and fix things as I was not allowed to stay in the port.I COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP NOW, as we only have 1/4 tank of water and cannot stay here long. I need to locate parts, which is not easy in a strange town. I have been able to order a new water pump, but cant find a fan. It is a Duramax 9 blade composite fan. This morning I will take out the radiator and try an
d have it re-cored. The shipping company across the road lets me on the internet every now and then, and our dutch cellphone will only work untill march 5.

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US.
BROENING HWY, opposite 2400 on the parking lot

currently in deep sh**t
