DO Sweat the Small Stuff (When You Live in an RV)
Stuck on the Interstate in my RV AAA has lost my business forever. I don’t know what kind of crap they pulled with me, but when I was stranded on the Interstate on a Sunday afternoon with transmission fluid spewing out of my RV, they abandoned me. That is unforgiveable. On February 27, the day […]
