At 6:50am we were in Bay 6 ready to have some work done on the motorhome. We had a list of things that needed to be dealt with. Our tech, Tony, seemed a little slow getting started but that is always the way here. The first problem was the steps and it was found that the arm that had broken was not the only problem but something with the step motor (gears were stripped) so we had to have a whole new step assembly installed. While Tony was dealing with that problem another tech, Chris, started to look at our big slide in the front and found that the gear box had teeth broken off and stop bolts had not been installed at the factory.
(This was the slide that had been taken out last July and new flooring installed but the problem with the lack of stop bolts were not seen then. Luckily, a loud bang (teeth being stripped, probably) occurred just yesterday, and not the day after we were gone from here, when extending the slide that caused us to ask questions about what was going on with the slide.) The water leak in the stair well was thought to be a caulking, or lack of, issue so Tony took care of that along with replacing a taillight that had moisture in it. Another team of 2 workers replaced the noisy fan in the bedroom. And then the black tank flusher was checked out with a new no-flow valve installed but then they had to, as a last resort, break into the black tank and take out the spray nozzle to drill larger holes in it. Tom said the spray nozzle had pinholes so it is no wonder that that becomes clogged. By the end of the workday we were feeling good about all that had got done today. We still have a noise in the right front corner that is of concern. Tomorrow, Tony will test drive the motorhome in order to assess the problem and, hopefully, find a solution to it.
