My friends and I love going to music festivals and it’s become a tradition to drive a day early so that we can camp before the real festivities begin.
- On a road trip for a brand new festival down South, the air conditioner in the RV we were renting broke and started releasing a really weird smell.
We pulled over and my friend who swears he is a handyman opened up the air conditioner compartment to see if he could spot an obvious issue. When he opened it up, the air conditioner let out a little bit of smoke and the weird smell was even stronger. He quickly realized that this issue was a little above his skillset, so we decided to drive the RV to the nearest mechanic to see if someone could check out the air conditioner. The technician said that the RV company we used should have done a complete A/C tune up before renting out the vehicle because it looks like it was just about to be due for that service. Considering we were traveling far to the music festival, an A/C tune up would have guaranteed smooth sailing for the trip. The mechanic was able to fix the problem in a couple of hours and we were back on the road! We are hoping that the RV company will reimburse us for this service because it was a complete oversight on their part to rent us the vehicle without it being done. This wasn’t the best start to our music adventure, but I guess that’s the good thing about heading down there early. We still had extra time to camp and get settled in before we got lost in the music.
