Reverse engineering the episode comes up with the birth of it all. The guy that changed the transmission filter apparently put it on "finger tight". A couple thousand miles later the tranny had sneaked out enough red fluid that the engine had to rev up to 2400RPM just to get the bus to groan forward or backward. The high pressure then totally blew out the filter gasket. Red fluid surrounded the rear of the bus like "blood lake". Bus would not budge after that. Stuck in reverse. Engine was working fine though.

The location of this event was at the critical entry/exit of a busy RV park. Took four hours for big tow truck to arrive. Many irritated fellow RVers were wandering around looking for ways to get around the bus. Impossible ... a major rain storm was happening ... all soil was soup. My seven or so gallons of tranny fluid sort of floated down the road making the surface slippery red. Difficult to walk on a red slime slope. Fellow RVer who walked his dog past us sure did not look happy.

End of summary for chapter #1 The rest of the story gets into advanced theory of Murphy's Law.

Will you be traveling back through these parts after that? I'm always game for a hunting story.

I might even tell you how in a matter of moments you went from my possible Hero to a definite Zero! Lol. It all concerns a non working door awning!
