As we got ready to leave the parking lot of Walmart, in Ashland, KY, Ed couldn't shift gears. We had a message that said "shift inhibit." We immediately called Newmar, who hooked us up with Freightliner. Alex from Frtlnr gave us some direction that might have helped the problem. It didnt. So the coach had to be towed to a Freightliner dealer. Hooking up for towing was a very extensive process, but not as expensive as I might have thought. The kicker, however, is that if the local Frtlnr can't solve the problem, the coach will have to be towed to Charleston. Since the gear pad reads "4", it is likely that Ed shut down in 4th gear, thus probably causing the problem. We have 5 weeks until our next scheduled stop, so we will see what happens. Right now, we are heading for a motel.
