It’s always something…

When we started to head out for lunch and shopping this morning, the first thing I had to was unhook the toad.  We didn’t go out Tuesday night after we got here so we were still hooked up.  Usually this is about a 5 minute job, but not today.

Normally when we pulled into a site the toad is straight out behind us, but as you can see from yesterday’s post, we are parked on a site with a slight curve.

This put enough pressure on the tow bars that they did not want to release by hand. They also didn’t want to release using a big hammer and a lot of lubricant.  I then tried to unhook the entire hitch from the back of the coach, but it was binding just like the tow bars so no luck there.

Finally I was able to get everything loose by having Jan jog the truck in reverse and forward while I pried on things. So, an hour later we were finally on our way.

To quote  Roseanne Roseannadanna, “It’s always something.”
