Good evening all,

I am currently sitting on the side of Rt 70w in Missouri just past the 740 and rt 70 interchange. I probably couldn't have chosen a more precarious place to lose poweras I am about 2 feet off of the highway.

I will be reaching out to the blacklist shortly to see if there is anyone nearby.

I had some quirky electrical problems on my drive today that manifested this way; This morning, after a flawless day of driving the day before, I had no battery power when I tried to start the coach. When I pressed the aux battery switch on the console, it started right up. Then during my drive today, I could use the cruise control, but when ever I used the turn signal, or beeped the horn it cut off. I was going to ask board for suggestions tonight when I got to my hotel room, but it doesn't look like I am going to make it to a hotel

At the moment, I am inches off of rt 70 with battery power, but can not start the engine. It turns over but never catches. I am wondering if my fuel pump died, or if the electrical issue has caused it to lose connection. I have headlights, and flashers at least so hopefully people wont hit me.

If you have any thoughts, I can be reached at 571 235 3564

Thanks,

Bob
