Break down!!!

After being on the road for 2.5 hours, on twisty turny back roads, trying to get back to US Highway 60, we were stopped at a stop sign in beautiful downtown Milburn Kentucky, population not much.  Luckily, I rolled the stop sign a little, because just as I pulled into the next lane, the motor home's acceleration just completely stopped.  Push the gas pedal, nothing.

I had visions of fuel injector problems, which my buddy TC has experienced, but I remembered he said that the power loss was gradual first. 

Happily, we were able to coast into the parking lot of the D & D gas station/grille, just off the road. 

I called the International Help number and was referred to a place in Paducah, so I called them, and George was very helpful- he thinks its an accelerator sensor, a part that can be installed where we sit.  Problem is, he's just a parts guy- so he referred me to the next local International Dealer, which is in Murray Kentucky, about 50-60 miles away.  He called, and said he would get back to me in an hour or so. 

In the meantime, George called back - he is a very customer oriented person, and said he might run a service tech down to at least read the codes to see what the specific problem may be.  That would be a big help.  He said the International guy thinks it may be something else..... 

So, we're here for the time being-  The store had a coffee machine, so got a big cup-  Part of being on the road....
