BEER30 Posted June 12, 2013 #1 Posted June 12, 2013 Made it to Bar Harbor Maine......Well sort of. Arrive to Trenton, a few miles away as there was only one campground that could handle a long rig such as ours. Maybe scout out for more tomorrow. Let's say that the trip here was not as we planned. Rain.....Dang highway......was rough in parts of PA, NY, and Mass. Some of my SOLO cups got cracked and broke a few paper plates! The rest of the rig stayed intact until the last 50 miles. Thanks to another driver whom informed us that we had a flown tire. They flagged our attention with a hand written note to say" Your trailer tire is GONE, and it's riding only on the rim"! Pulling the 20' car hauler with the 43' motorhome, you couldn't even notice it. We pulled to side of highway, tossed on the spare and back out onto the highway in less than 30 minutes in the rain. Stopped into next town and got a new tire. Old rim was a goner! Other tire on same side did not look to well either, so replace the rubber on it as well. TBA ( Tire, Battery and Accessories) in Bangor Maine had us up and going in less than 30 minutes. Even fixed the trailer brake wiring. Rubber off the tire jerked the electrical wiring apart. The customer service was GOOD! Weather man says one more day of rain and it should clear up. Hope so, as we plan to ride Acadia NF on the scoot. If not Smart Car will get wet! BEER30

Aimhigh Posted June 12, 2013 #7 Posted June 12, 2013 We have never been to Maine until this trip...even with the weather, we have enjoyed it. Wish we had the bike...the Acadia Park would be a great place to ride, as well as the coastal Rte 1A (visiting the light houses). Have been disappointed with the lobster, though...guess we haven't found the right place). Hope you have a great visit, I believe you will.
