Fixing a motor home is not cheap. But than we knew that when we bought one. But the good news is, it is fixed.
The main problem was the alternator, and the good news on that one is, the extended warranty will cover all but $50 on it. Some of the other things we had done were maintenance, which we knew needed done. A little more than we thought, but they won't need done for a long time.
When we parked last night, the living room slide went out part way, the bedroom slide wouldn't go out at all. This morning the living room slide wouldn't go back in. It was a good thing we didn't have far to drive to the bays. The guy sort of pointed at the slide and laugh, like he thought we had forgot to pull it in. We had electric the night before but once we disconnected we still weren't getting any power from the house batteries. And even with the electric connected, the slide wouldn't come in. Well we sort of knew what the problem was. The morning the rv wouldn't start, Ed had started the generator and than he hit the switch that allows the coach to start with the help of the house batteries. That was when we had lost the house batteries. So Ed knew he had done something but he didn't know what. They had to track it down and the labor for that was $220 and the 300 amp fuse that was blown was $90. That was one mistake that I don't think Ed will repeat. But it is nice to have everything working.
We just hung out today and did some mall walking. They finished the coach about 4:30 so we decided to spend another night in their parking lot. We don't like driving after dark or setting up in the dark, so it seemed like the wise thing to do. Everything seems to be working fine and we will be on our way to Wauchula, Florida tomorrow. We will be there almost 3 weeks and than come back here to meet Tracy and family.
Well as my sister said the next time I can say "been there, done that and just chill." Oh yeah I have the T-shirt.
HAPPY TRAILS Love Ed and Lyn
