We dropped the motor home off with the service department at 7:30 am, and picked it up at 5 pm. First the good. As I suspected, the problem with our dash ventilation system was the vacuum pump, and that got changed. Now the cold air blows out the dash vents, instead of just onto your feet, or through the defroster vents. The other thing on the list that got fixed was the front, street slide out had a piece of metal hanging up, and it was easily corrected. Now the bad. The other things on the list were.....1. water heater electric switch light was out. 2. new refer freezer door needs adjusting & wood panel needs to be refitted. 3. Front A/C circuit breaker needs replacing.
These 3 things did not get fixed, and I was told that I would have to come back in the morning. When told this, my instinct was to become confrontational, and question why 9 1/2 hrs was not long enough to take care of these 5 items. Fortunately, I've learned that this tactic rarely gains you much of anything, except a bigger push back from the other side. So, here we are, waiting to drop off our house on wheels for the second time, hoping once again that these last 3 issues are taken care of quickly, as promised yesterday. The already good news for the day, is that Marc, Chandra & Laila will be back in Tucson today, and it will be good to see them.

The summer of 2008, I worked as a supervisor for the Glacier National Park transit system in N.W. Montana. During the summer of 2009, we decided to travel, and completed a 5 and 1/2 month, 12,000 mile loop around the U.S. and Canada. During the summer of 2010, we traveled mostly in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon & Washington. We spent the summers of 2011 & 2012, working at the Grand Canyon, where I drove a transit bus, and Patty worked in the General Store. The winters have mostly been spent at our home in Lake Havasu City. We recently relocated the home base to Tucson, AZ.
