Left Tiger Run this morning and immediately got a yellow regen light, no big deal, proceeding. Then it turned into a red stop engine light and derate so made it into a nice clear parking lot. Called FL 24/7 and they said high soot level, needs forced regen, problem is stop engine code is blocking forced regen. It's Labor Day so no tow services per coach-net, which is fine, in a great spot to stay the night and not worry, notified police, they came by and said all is fine. Ouray was wonderful and allowed me to cancel the entire week minus 5% once I provide them evidence of the breakdown. Even if I was fixed tomorrow there's no way I can trust the engine right away to be in the rockies in the vicinity of Ouray and then via Telluride enroute to Pagosa Springs. Attempting to cancel high dollar Amazon items enroute to Pagosa Springs as that location is unknown right now, some of you know I had TV's etc. on the way there.

Glad I did my 3 year renewal with Coach-net after my last great experience with them. I also learned a valuable lesson from @NWIP's Alaska saga, while he never mentioned this I learned that never travel with your TOAD tank below a level that it can't get you to someplace you need to get to.
Will let all know how this saga proceeds. I'm not upset as this is the first time I had an issue since owning this coach in June of 2017. It's going to happen, so it's my turn to pay my dues.
