A smooth ride was not to be...along the way, Steve noticed the oil pressure gauge starting to drop and then rise, drop and then rise. All of a sudden it went down and stayed down! Screech, we pulled over,again on very busy Rt 95N!
Called Good SAMs Roadside Assistance for help...they asked Steve to check the oil level and sure enough, the dipstick didn't register anything! We had the oil changed before we left on this trip but evidently we're burnin' oil! We had extra oil on board, but you may recall the incident where we went around a corner and one of our compartments flew open and we lost some stuff? Yep, some of that was the oil!
Well, it took two and a half hours and $150 dollars...come to find out running out of oil is not covered! It took six full quarts, so thank goodness Steve pulled over where he did!
Decided to ditch the campground idea and pulled off when we saw the next Cracker Barrel sign in Walterboro, SC. Dinner and bed!

Good thing Steve noticed the oil gauge and was able to pull over safely. You really are putting that RV to a test… finding all the hidden foibles.
Yes, we could have had a catastrophe! I was just noticing some blooming daffodils on my side of the highway and when I looked over to tell him I could tell by the look on his face that something was very wrong! This is a 1998 RV so things are going to happen, but this was more like an important lesson learned!
