Oakley Police Department

I had a great experience tonight with an Oakley police officer. I had broke down two days previous and had left my motorhome in Concord. I returned today and jump started it. I began to drive it about 25 miles to my rented Oakley house. But it died once more right on Main Street. (alternator had gone bad) I called AAA and they said it would be a while as they could not find a shop with the right equipment. While I waited I decided to call Oakley police as it was now dark and I was partially blocking a lane of traffic. A really nice officer showed up and he stayed with me for over two hours. First, he suggested I jump start the battery so I could continue on (I was about 3 miles from my house) So I called AAA and changed the call from tow service to jump start. A AAA truck came right away and they jumped me, starting the engine right away. I told the officer I did not have headlights, that if I turned them on the engine would probably die. So he decided to follow me with his blue and red lights on. But once we got closer to my house and away from city lights, he realized I could not see in front of me so he quickly went in front so I could see where I was going. However, about half mile from my house the MH completely died on me once more. I was blocking one lane of traffic, thankfully there was very little traffic. But the officer stayed just in case he needed to direct traffic around me. He suggested I call my tenant, which I did and he came with help and a jumper cable. We jumped the MH and it came back to life. I then drove it to my house where I parked it. The officer escorted me until I got there safe. I was very grateful and told him I was gonna call his supervisor and tell him to promote him to general, lol. I shook his hand and he finally left, satisfied I and my MH were safe. My tenant then drove me back to where I had left my car in Concord and I drove home to San Jose. When I have a chance, I'll return to the MH to check out exactly what my problem is. But everything points to a faulty alternator. It was a bad day for me, but it would have been worse if it hadn't been for that Oakley police officer. Thank you Andrew!
