Stranded at Holly Springs, Mississippi

Got started ok this morning on the way back to Greenwood, got about an hour down the road, then all heck broke loose on the control panel, involving the braking system. Had three warning lights and a buzz alarm, involving ABS system, brake pressure, and brakes warning lights came on also.

Stopped to check the manuals, no help there, started the truck back up to see if the warnings were still on, they were not, so we tried again. About 20 minutes later, they came on again. Pulled into the SuperCenter at Exit 30, at Holly Springs, Mississippi.

Called Gulfstream coach net, and they are landing on the side of safety, and have agreed to tow us to get it fixed, which will not happen until tomorrow morning at the earliest, so here we sit. No worries, we aren't on any set schedule anymore, thank goodness.

We're hoping to get into the International dealer at Tupelo, Ms, which is about an hour down the road- they may opt to take us back to Memphis, but the one dealer they called doesn't work on motor homes. They also mentioned places like 150 miles away, Jackson Ms and such. Have to see what they find, since the tow is on their dime.

Thanks for Coach Net- Swear by them, I do.

May go snoop around later this afternoon, supposed to be a big college near here, I smell a pin.

Advised Greenwood that it will at least be Tuesday before we roll in now.
