Now mind you I feel that I can be quite the handy person but there are some things this old gal will not do, nor should try to. Brakes, air conditioning & electrical problems are to name a few. I'll leave those to my friendly neighborhood garage. While driving my little rig to the garage, I noticed that I had to really push hard on the brake pedal in order to come to a slow roll/stop. I know this thing is old and weighs a lot, but it can't weigh that much to affect the stopping distance like it does. So I had the mechanic take a gander for me. His response: You drove this here? Ahhh, yup I sure did, Why? Your back brakes weren't working at all and your fronts were only grabbing about 50%. Ya know Ma'am, I don't know if I would have driven this! Well, Mr. Mechanic don't ya think it's a little late. I'm here aren't I? (p.s. downshifting works wonders). So with the brakes repaired along with the tail light wiring and air conditioner I am on my way to possibly camp this year....safely. Woohoo!
