A series of unfortunate events

Hi. We finally made it to Tucson ! After we left Colorado Springs we Headed for Durango Where we wanted to spend some time but the weather was really bad. cold and rainy so we just left and figured we would make it back there next time. It is 94 degrees here today. Needless to say, we are shut up indoors with the ac on.Being that itis the desert,the temperature drops like a rock the second the sun goes down. That is when we will again attempt to find the Costco and gather much needed supplies for the rest of the week. Our unfortunate events began in Co. Springs when we had to have new brakes for 1,300.00 . A rock hit our windshield in the painted desert and made a little chip. We stopped in Flagstaf to get it fixed and the guy made it worse and still made us pay 55.00 . It is now a ten inch crack with six little holes in it right in front of the drivers face. Next we lost all 12volt power in the bus and couldn't figure it out for two days.This meant that the TV antenna amplifier did not work. NO TV. The ceiling fan in the bedroom froze up and kept poppin' fuses. The fan is still not fixed. Next ,Ricky left the toilet water running on accident and we didn't notice it until it had filled the poop tank and the toilet and flooded the entire back end of the bus.For some reason, this also triggered a water pump valve to go that also caused headaches I'm not going to list.Ricky had a bright idea to hook up his little coleman cooker to the bus propane so we wouldn't have to buy anymore of those littlte tanks.Now,if your getting the picture yet, you would know that he broke the propane supply line to the bus.This means no cooking, no hot water.Cold showers.So.....last night we prepared to go for supplies to fix the bus and to have something to eat. We started to drive away and the steps wouldn't come in.Ricky tried for about an hour to fix them and couldn't so we said screw it we'll go tomorrow. Mind you,we had very little food on board.The best we could do for dinner was Ramen Pride noodles and Margaritas. Those margaritas hit the spot! Miraculously the steps worked fine when we got up this morning. Like nothing was wrong with them.We are considering this a gift from God.I guess we weren't supposed to leave yesterday. We have an hour and a half befor the sun goes down and we try again. Wish us luck.
