Last night, Monday, we were watching TV around 9:15pm and hear this engine running out front. We figure it is probably a motorhome pulling into a space. The noise continues so I go to explore and see a huge tow truck on the road in front of our space (the type of tow truck that tows semis) and behind it a 1 ton pickup pulling a fifth wheel. The tow truck has disconnected the truck/trailer and the owner of the truck/trailer is trying to figure out how to get his truck started. This process entails firing up a very loud generator so he can power a battery charger. Meanwhile the tow truck has every bright light on shining on the truck. Front what I can tell the tow truck is done and is about ready to leave this guy in the roadway with the hope he can somehow get his truck started and get his trailer into his spot. I do not see this as a viable resolution from what I am observing, so I intervene. I ask the owner what the issue is and am told his engine has seized up. I told him that I have a 1 ton pickup and offered to hook up his trailer and put it into his space if the tow truck can get his truck out of the way. All parties see this as a great option, the tow truck driver gets to work to tow the truck out of the way and I move in with our truck and hook up. I let the owner of the trailer drive my truck to back his rig into the space and all is done in 15 minutes and quiet returns!
