H'burg, KY...Levelers fix.TOAD level








RV repairman, David McGhee from Elizabeth town, KY, showed up Saturday. Remember we changed the ignition switch but still could not get the control panel for the levelers to light up, when the key is in the ACC position. David unscrewed the control panel and just wiggled the connections under the panel, turned the key to ACC and all worked. Isn't that wonderful. We could have done that!!! But David went on to explain the lights and answered our questions. Do you dump the air from bags, before leveling? How long do you hold the buttons down?

He also found a linkage broken on the rear air bags. He wired it together tell we can fix.

He measure our awning to order it. Turns out the awning is a A & E that is no longer made. So he will order, but it will take 2 to 3 weeks to get, not the 2 days he said over the phone. Checked all the other awnings.
Looked at the Norcold Fridge recall 'fix'. Said it is a mess. We have had problems ever sense they fixed the Fridge. He will call Norcold for approver.
Talked about the dash AC not cooling.

Talked about new Satellite.

A hour and 45 minutes later we wrote a $140 dollar check and agreed to bring the Condo to the RV shop, for the dash AC fix and the Norcold fridge fix.

Sounds like a lot of dollars flying out the window but we want to spend for these extras now. We have a pay check coming in and it doesn't hurt so bad. After Dec. Craig will stop work, after 30 years with Flour Daniel and 8 years in Air Force, we will only have our savings. I don't know how other people handler these changes but I am worried, worried. But this is going to happen. It is time. When did you stop working?? (at a job you went to everyday) Did you regret that move?
TESTED THE TOAD AGAIN
Added this 6" riser to our receiver hitch. The Blue OX riser is rated for 10,000 pounds, Craig says I over do things. Gee, you think!!! The Condo has a 10,000 pd rating, the Roadmaster All Terrain tow bar is their biggest and is rated for 10,000 pounds. My a-symmetric mind says that makes sense.
