MARION, NC: Rain and Repairs

Late yesterday afternoon, we got the call to the post......I mean the call to bring Little House to the service center by 8 A.M. today.  We woke up to earlier-than-expected rain, not the most pleasant conditions for departure chores, but at least it wasn't storming, and we easily made the appointed time.

Our day was spent in the lounge/cafe area, using our computers and talking to our new friends, now numbering 4, whose rigs were also in the work bays.  We took a break and went to the post office to pick up some mail, then resumed our wait along with our friends.  About 4:30, we got the word that not only had the A/C related work been done, other items had been addressed as well.  The jobs completed included brand new current version control circuit boards for everything that touches the A/C and Power Management Systems - the rear A/C and heat pump, front A/C, and Power Shed relay board.  Also a brand new thermostat and A/C control panel, new thermistors (ambient room temperature sensors), freeze sensors in each A/C, and probably a few other items we don't even know about.  A few other minor repairs were also completed including replacement of a fog light that was on back order for 2 months, a worn slide wiper was replaced (a rubber strip that wipes the side of the slide as it is moved in or out), a control unit that controls the turn signal and other safety lights on the car when it is in tow, and a condensation drain line for the front A/C was cleared.  That brings all of the work items from our purchase agreement up to date.  Now we will sit here a few days to make sure the A/C doesn't have a relapse!


The day was still rainy and foggy, but we felt there was a rainbow at the end after all.  The 6 of us celebrated our individual repairs by going to dinner together in Black Mountain, NC at the Black Mountain Bistro  (our third visit in 3 weeks).  Now we'll start the testing of the repairs for several days to make sure everything is working as designed. With lots of rain in the forecast for the days ahead,  it's a good time to just stay put for little while longer.
