STS Hop 1: Littleton MA to Berkley MA

STS Hop 1

Comfort Inn, Seekonk, MA

The STS has, belatedly, begun. But not exactly as planned. The first hop – to deliver the RV to Camping World for a second round of repairs – was accomplished by a paid hauler because the truck is still in the shop for repairs.

So we are now in a cheap hotel – the Comfort Inn in Seekonk, MA – just biding our time until we have a rig again. We have some confidence that the RV will be ready on Friday but the truck… at this point I am just not sure. I thought it would be a simple replacement of an emissions valve, but at last word they were planning on replacing 3 emissions-related components, at a cost just north of $1,600.

So, between the cost of the hauler and the price of the truck repairs, the STS has cost us about $2,000 before we started.

Ouch.

We had some plans to tour Providence and Newport while we were here, but we have both come down with colds. I don’t know how much interest we will have in anything. I may spend the day re-routing around the Carolina flood zone.

Anyway, here is the last photo of the RV in Littleton and a photo of Jett in the vacated site.

The STS is off to a very rocky start. We have to hope that it gets better.
