I had an interesting experience in the snow. I was at the Newell factory for maintenance, and one of the techs started my coach up to drive it into the service bay. Since it was very cold outside the tech tooted the air horn to signal someone inside to open the door. The air horn got stuck and he could not get it to stop blowing!
Two tech got under the coach with a little blow torch and tried to get the ice melted that was causing the problem. It took about 3 minutes to melt the ice and stop the air horn.
It was really funny; we were inside the service building with an air horn blowing full blast!
Lesson to learn: use the electric horn when it is freezing outside.
