Liz and Paul, a couple living in an RV, share their recent experience of having a bad day. They were on their way to a new campground when they encountered several issues, including a faulty hitch, a missed turn, and a traffic accident, which led to a 110-mile detour. Paul also received a ticket for allegedly failing to move over for an emergency vehicle, despite having evidence to prove his innocence. They visited a repair shop, More Ride, where they were helped by the staff and discovered that the issue with their hitch was due to warping. The couple shares tips on how to get through bad days, including being flexible, having a good attitude, and recognizing that sometimes even when you're right, you may not win.
