Tonopah, NV

We got away from Pahrump about 8 am on the morning of the 25th of April. We headed north on NV 160 until we got to US 95. We were cruising along at a good rate until we started climbing in elevation. We felt that the coach was slowing down on the hill climb more than it should. On the downside of the hill we got back to speed. On the next hill climb it was even more evident that something was wrong. We pulled over to the shoulder of the road and call AAA. We were about 5 km out of Tonopah. We just knew that the hill in front of us was going to be very slow and there was a good possibility we would never get to the top. We waited a short while and the mechanic from Bumper Towing arrived. It was determined that the fuel filter is the culprit. the mechanic felt that we could limp into town being it was only 5km away. We unhooked the car and with Marge following me in the car we limp into town. Of course there isn't a fuel filter in town that would fit our motorhome & so a fuel filter was ordered. The mechanic will meet us at the garage about 8:30 am the next morning after he picks up the filter. . We are presently in the Ramada RV park that is directly behind the hotel/casino. Saturday morning we meet the mechanic at Bumpers Towing. He and his wife(who is the bookeeper/invoice issuer) arrive as promised. It takes him about 10 minutes and we test the unit. He has me drive back down the hill I crawled up the day before. Perfect . We pay the bill & we are on our way, now flying up the hills we crawled up the day before. I would like to say here that if you ever have any mechanical problems in Tonopah, NV, I highly recommend Bumper Towing, 622 Depot Rd ph (775)482-3478. Thanks.
