A DAY OF CATCHING UP

With long days of driving, finally in the rear view mirror, yesterday was for taking care of things that had been put off until we arrived in OR.  First up was a good scrubbing of the Jeep at the local quarter car wash.  With the pressure washer eating up quarters like there was no tomorrow, I got most of the Alaska Hwy dirt to disappear. 

The next stop was at RV Glass solutions, which now occupies the old Monaco Headquarters building in Coburg.  In fact, it appears the only presence the new Monaco has in it's old hometown, is a service center just down the street.  The new owner of Monaco, & Holiday Rambler is Navistar, best known for building International Trucks.  It looks like they have said adios to Oregon, and consolidated what's left of  their RV business elsewhere.  Our appointment for the windshield replacement is tomorrow morning at RV Glass.

It's been a few years since we were last in this area, and yesterday, I discovered that Cummins Coach Care has moved to a new facility, about a mile south of their old location.  They used to be right across the street from Monaco.  We  have an appointment at Cummins on Thursday.

When we had the inside of the motor home a lot cleaner than it was, we piled into the Jeep, and did some shopping.  Being without my pals Ben & Jerry for several days, had gone on long enough, and it was time for a buddy fix.  When we had finished with all of our chores & shopping, the day was pretty much shot, so I BBQ'd some chicken, and we called it a day.  First dental appointment this morning in Albany.

  1. Dan, I guess you haven't heard, but while you were gallivanting around up north, Navistar sold Monaco and HR to Allied Specialty Vehicles, ASV on May 16th. ASV is also the owner of Fleetwood and American Coach.
