Haven't posted on here in a little bit, but figured this video was worth a watch for anyone wondering how bad a road trip can get ;D
To start this off, for those of you who didn't hear, amidst other mishaps, our trailer roof ripped off while on the way to Super Celebration West and a little after that, the F350 totally konked out. This was just Part 1 of the epic adventure to Super Celebration so if you haven't checked it out already, here's a link. Hope you all enjoy! And stay tuned for part 2 which I'll post in this thread!

Wow! That day was a week long. It's odd how stuff like that will stack up on you.

Love the video, Mitch! I don't know how you manage to keep the cameras rolling in the midst of all the troubles - I'd be so mad or discouraged that talking to the camera would be the last thing I'd want to do!

Yeah, I was on three hours of sleep when we left, and by the time the second blowout occurred, I had shifted from the drivers seat to sleeping in the passengers. The last thing I wanted to do was wake up and fix another tire hahaha
