This past Tuesday, we drove from Huntington, WV to Cruising America RV Services in Celina, OH. Our front rooftop A/C hasn't been working right since we had it repaired at the REV facility in Decatur back in the fall. Dependable fix-it shops are hard to come by and Cruising America RV Services -owned by Kevin Mallory, a former design engineer at American Coach - is now our favorite place to go for problems. He knows motor homes inside and out, does quality work, and his labor rate is less than most places charge. He doesn't do motor work..
Wednesday morning, Kevin determined a sensor in the A/C unit had been put in the wrong place and soon had the A/C moving cool air. He also replaced a fluorescent LED bulb that we purchased from him last year, changed another fluorescent fixture over to LED bulbs, and checked out the Sirius radio in the dash that had been giving us some issues.
With the work being done so quickly, it was time to move on. We decided to drive to Goshen, IN and the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds, where we're registered for a Maintenance Session gathering beginning on May 4. This facility with its many buildings and large camping facility is used for large and small RV rallies. We were able to reserve a spot in their 50 amp/full hookup 'overflow' area until the MS begins. The sites are gravel and close together, but adequate for our needs and except for the many trains that pass by, it's peaceful.
At some point during our recent travels, an object left it's mark on our windshield. Since none of the auto glass repair services work on motor home windshields, we'll probably have to have it replaced at REV in Decatur in mid-may or early June. Luckily, our Florida insurance will cover the cost with no deductible....just have to work it into our schedule. The spot is not in Hank's line of vision, so it's not a problem as of now. We already have a claim open with the insurance company for this repair whenever we can get it done.
The weather was comfortably cool when we arrived here, but after some rainy days, we had temperatures in the 30's for two nights. Sunny skies are back today, with no more rain until mid-week and it may cool down again after that. The next 10 days will provide plenty of time for relaxation, hobbies and maybe a little exploring in the surrounding area.
My insurance company sent out Safelite to repair a rock ding in my window using that filler material. Be interested to know how big of a crack or ding you have?
ReplyDeleteOur original ding was about the size of a pea with the total area involved about the size of a quarter. Glass Doctor did a mobile repair and we'll see if it holds when we start bouncing down the road. If so, I'm sure the insurance company will appreciate the $70 claim instead of a $1500 claim.
