ORLANDO CUMMINS COACH CARE

It's 6:15 am, as we wait for our 7:30 am appointment here at Coach Care, Orlando. The main purpose for this appointment, is to have the Bilstein Shocks installed, that I had shipped to Mike & Amy's house in Augusta. Of course, the refrigerator is always on the list of things to be checked, and I added a new one yesterday as we got ready to leave the Thousand Trails, and drive over to the Cummins facility. Our big slide out, behind the driver, stopped moving, as I was holding the switch to bring it in. This is a very heavy slide, and it has always slowed down, as it climbed the ramp at the beginning of the retraction cycle. This time, the motor just quit, and the slide stopped. I have suspected from day one, that this might be a possibility, due to the heavy pull on the electric motor. After I manually pushed a little, and played with the switch, it began to move, eventually retracting all the way back in. So, that problem got added to the list when we arrived yesterday afternoon. As RV'ers often say, "there's always something". We left the jeep at the T.T., so we'll be hanging here until they are done. Fortunately, every Cummins Coach Care facility has a lounge, that we can take Sami into. I thought about either towing the Jeep over here, or having Patty follow me, but, due to the heat, (in the low 90's), we really couldn't go anywhere and leave Sami in the Jeep. Hopefully, we'll make some progress today.
