DECATUR, IN: May 11-14 Dash Air Problem Diagnosis & A Nice Surprise

On Thursday, May 11, we left the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds in Goshen, IN and  drove the short distance to the REV Technical Center (fancy name for manufacturer repair facility) to have our dash A/C looked at once again. We were a drop-in customer hoping they would get us in before we had to move on.  The techs start working at 6 A.M., and  Friday morning we got the call to be ready for the move to the work bays near their lunchtime.  All agreed to move Little House after lunch (11:35 A.M.) so we had plenty of time to get things ready.

The assigned tech reported that he found a couple of minuscule leaks in fittings, but nothing major.  Any attempt at tightening might end up causing more problems.  An actual fix could involve replacing the tubing that goes from the back of the coach to the front - a 10-12 hour job involving expensive parts.  We decided on recharging the system again and moving on since we have places to be over the next 6 weeks and REV didn't have manpower available to do the job now. Little House was back in its parking place by 2:30 P.M. and we were given permission to spend the weekend on site.

A few hours later, we found out that 3 couples we've met through the American Coach Assn. - Ray & Pauline, Jim & Carmen and Johnny & Ken - had come in for service. Over the weekend, we enjoyed sharing dinners and conversation with these friends.
