Bad luck the car is brocken down!
On the way from Regina to Winnipeg we spent one night in Brandon. There we filled up the car with propane for the stove and the heating. But as the girl finished to fill the car up we had a leak in the propane tank. The only thing which was always working without problems was gone! She reduced the pressure and after that everything seemed to be alright. This was our only happyending story in the next comming days with the car.
At the next day we got up very late. Then we tryed to start the engine. But the engine disappeared and we couldn' t start it. So went to the gas station to ask for the number of the CAA (a kind of ADAC). I tryed to call them but it was on easter Friday which is a holiday and nnobody answered the phone. The highlight was that I couldn't find our member card. So we tryed again and again to start the car. We got no hope anymore as engine finally started again. We were lucky because we could continue our trip. It was strange but whatever it works!
In Winnipeg we took some hitchikers some meters with us who broken down with the car before the city. We had no idea that the same thing will happened us too.
Unfortunetly the luck didn't hold long. As we arrived in Winnipeg a traffic light switched to red. So jumped hard on the brake that we don't crash. But after that the brakes were gone. As we drove trough the city the pedal feelt softer and softer. Finaly we couldn't brake anymore. There was nothing absolutely no reaction anymore. Fortunetly we found a Canadian Tire where we arrived without a crash!!!
There we spent the rest of the holiday because the service shop was closed. We decided on the evening that we sell the car because it makes no sense to us to continue travelling with the old camper. Because of that our australian guy Daniel decided to leave. At the next day he took the plane to Alaska. There he is planing to do Kite sking. Good bye!!!
In morning we were the first in the service shop. A mechanican took care about our car as he finished work we spent 700 Dollar in new brakes. Well done!!! But without this repair we couldn't sell the car to somebody else. I mean doyou would like to buy a car without working brakes??? We spent all the day on the parking lot. It was like waiting by a doctor everything happend so slow. We spent over 6 hours there and it was so boring. The situation was terrible. You spent so much money in a car...
