Monday the 7th I drove to Tampa to get stuck.
Took the trailer back to
Long View RV Superstore on McIntosh Road to get a few things fixed, I missed the side entrance so went down the road to turnaround. I made a error in judgement in the field that I chose to turn around in, got stuck in the sand. Walked back to the RV dealer and they came to the rescue with a real tractor and pulled the Ford and trailer out, at least it wasn't a lawnmower.
There were a few things to get fixed.
- leak in the lower corners of the bedroom slide
- also around a locker door
- hydraulic valve used to eliminate a slide from coming out.
- the fresh water tank would only hold 15 gallons instead of 75 gallons
- the window by the dining room table was binding.
They had to order the valve, so should get it back this week.
The part should be here in another week, next Wednesday or Thursday....
The part should be
Update April 20, 2008 finally got the above items resolved, took a couple of times before they got the correct part from Hartland.
- In the meantime I discovered another leak (turned out to be the range hood vent sealant had shrank) that had damaged some kitchen cabinet molding this also has taken a number of times ordering and getting either damaged or wrong piece of molding.
It has taken right at 5 months to get 2 correct parts ordered and reordered, can not imagine if they were major item.
Janurary 7 until March 5 to get the control valve and March 5 until April 24 to get the correct peice of molding, do the math.
Just thought I would update this while I remembered because in time I will have forgotten about it.
