ENNIS — William McMayhem has not been a tenant of the Dallas Ennis R-V Park for a month. He’s a plumber by trade, but his professional skills could not save his loss from a flood.
“I came home early from work Friday. Took a nap. Next thing I know, I hear something bumping around,” McMayhem said. “I wake up, and I step off of there about a foot of water.”
He said the pouring rain on Friday had shut down the refrigeration inside his RV with his wife. The living quarters now have an issue with the air conditioning. McMayhem’s truck for work submerged and left smelling like a muddy creek.
“This is how I make a living towing this vehicle around. Because I work out of town to support myself and my family,” he said.
McMayhem said his wife had to take off work to let him use her car for his plumbing job. He called it another blow to their income.
“When I got back it was a mess,” Juan Castro said.
