We are camped in a nice rv place just off I-10 at the western edge of Beaumont. It has a small lake in the middle and a wooded hiking trail .... very nice. We are in this particular place because it is only several hundred yards down the road from a Freightliner truck place .... which is where we take the coach for any kind of "chassis" work. Tomorrow at the incredibly early hour of 7am we plan to check in at the service desk for oil change/ engine service, and to find a slow leak in one of our rear tires. I suspect it is the valve stem extender, .... or the tire pressure monitoring thingy.
The reason we chose to have our service done in Beaumont instead of Houston is another 'story'. When we first purchased our coach, our very first experience to a truck repair place was to go to the Freightliner shop off I-10 east on the east side of Houston (Hardy Rd) ...... and I mean it was "truck alley". We were so intimidated .... we were only one of about 3 coaches in a parking lot of at least 300 trucks ..... and the ONLY women at the service desk. They actually did call us "honey" ...... !!!
We have been to several other smaller Freightliner places for chassis maintenance items .... and they have all been very pleasant. I guess East Houston is just known to the truckers .... but now it is also known by The Three Travelers !
