HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!!!!
We made it to the Excel Service Center late Friday afternoon and spent the weekend backed up to one of the service bays. Come Sunday afternoon, three other rigs rolled in to join us. Another case of water intrusion due to lack of maintenance, a broken frame at the pin box, and several other issues with slides. We almost feel guilty because we really don't have any "issues" but are here for a few small warranty items, preventative maintenance and to have a couple of items we want installed.
We were up at 5 a.m. to shower and have breakfast before having to be out of the rig by 6:30 a.m. Good heaven's . . . it was still dark outside. Our list of items isn't very long so we may only be here a day or two. We met with our technician and went over the items that were on our list. Once that was done, we discussed some concerns of ours regarding maintenance. We doing as much as possible to avoid experiencing the results of water intrusion ($$$) so John discussed what we've done and what we are planning on doing. Our technician told John that we were on the right track and that we were ahead of the curve regarding the maintenance of our rig when compared to most RV owners. Steve said that it was always amazing at how people who once owned homes and did regular maintenance on them, spend all this money on a RV and then do nothing and then are surprised when they have problems. I guess it pays to be anal . . . err detail oriented.
If our bill doesn't break the bank, we have our eye on a cute cherry colored folding table that could sit nicely between our two chairs and fit nicely with our decor. Oh, oh. The deal is if something comes in, something must go. We'll have to give that some thought.
