Tuesday September 19, 2017-Roadrunner RV Park

After we arrived here in Oklahoma City, Stella noticed something hanging down from under the trailer. I crawled under and found two of the springs were broken on both sides of the trailer. Wow!


The above picture is of the door side (right side looking forward) axle and below is the off door side (left side looking forward).


I don't know exactly where, when or why they broke, but it must have been near here because one of the springs had hit the brake line, splitting it. There was little brake fluid found under the trailer and the brake fluid reservoir was full, so it had to have just happened.

Luckily for us, our friend Ron Russell, owner of Performance Trailer Brakes, who had also added our disk brakes last year, is also staying here in this park and he offered one of his employees to purchase the springs and install them here while we are attending the rally. Thank you God for good friends that can help you out.

This is the first major problem that we have had in a long time. 

I would also like to add a memory of John Sager. John was the entertainer that we hired last year for the Region rally in Branson. He played the Branson strip and lived in Branson but went to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas for the winter season. He passed away this weekend from a massive heart attack at the age of 47. He was a great entertainer and singer and he will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace John

So long.

Jay I wouldn't be surprised if it happened pulling into the park or maneuvering around in it, so pretty tight turns there. Glad it happened when it did and you've got hands there to help get it fixed!
