Troubadour

A humorous tale of trouble and woe involving a wimpy motor home driver. Farming mishaps are a secondary theme.

One reader's account of the story is: "An ample supply of adventure and hilarity in an entertaining trip across our land featuring a magnificent landscape of characters that comprise America."

The tale involves a cash-starved farmer who attempts to supplement his income by delivery driving motor homes from factory to dealers through the nation and Canada. His intentions are in constant battle between his bad self and good, in opposition to his wife and friends, and in conflict with his farming obligations. Themes cover how this "scaredy-cat wimp" strangely obtains the position, driving up mountains twice unintentionally, trouble and woe when making deliveries to various destinations, weather problems, kidnapping, mechanical breakdowns, a drivers room where arguments flow fast and loose, advice on how to overcome sleepiness while driving, furrowing little pigs while the wife was having a baby, trips to Canada that went sour, ridiculous advice given to motor home drivers, churches that should not have been attended, as well as silly descriptions of motor homes, difficulties following employer's demands, and facing dealers with impossible expectations. This is a fast-paced tale of travel, adventure, humor, farming, motor homes, and weird characters. A surprise ending waits!
