It started well.....
I purchased a used F350 this week. I had to go to CW in Asheville, NC to pick up my Fiver. I got there and backed up to my camper. Camper batteries dead. Had to jump start the Genny to raise the pin. Here comes the rain.
As I plug in my camper, no lights, brakes, etc. borrow tools...$&"@&$...get wet. Truck plug is bad- buy new- replace. Wron plug...$&@"@&$....remove.....buy correct one and replace. More rain..... Plug in no lights..."@&)&&""&$$$&@@@&$&...unplug and on come the reverse lights...more$&@"@@&$!...more rain.
In wire and test each wire individually with test light. Rewire correctly. Colors wrong. Plug in. Monsoon- brakes work, tail lights, nothing else. Hurricane - I think I saw an Ark go by...$&@"@&&$$$$&&$&""&$!
I am now soaked and could care less. DW and kids are warm and dry. I finally go back into CW and thank the Tec, who is also soaked and late getting off work. I owe him a FD tee-shirt.
I start down the mountain for SC. Rain- top speed 40MPH due to down pour and no real brake lights or turn signals.
Make it home.
Next day....at FD "trouble shooting" no stop/turn signals.
Chief-" did you check the fuse?"
Me-"@@&$&@, no"
Chief-"It is bad"
Change fuse....check wires...colors still wrong, correct problem...
Finally- got em going.
What a first trip
Hope y'all laughed!
