I didn’t want to keep them out all night, but I wanted to let them know that I appreciated them putting my motorhome inside letting it thaw out and hopefully getting me back on the road so we ate supper and drank many drinks and shots and finally I said I better get out of here because I’m starting to catch a buzz so they packed up and headed out too and the next morning I went out there with coffee and donuts and by the way, they did buy my drinks and supper that night because I think they knew they were gonna make some money off me and so after they get my Motorhome fixed the next day And him and I go up in the front office and figure out my bill. They present me a bill with $2500 expecting me to pay with a credit card or debit card while I reach into my pocket and grab a roll of cash and he goes. Oh you’re paying with cash I said yeah cash is in my Book And so he goes here. Let me see that Bill he takes the bill and adjust it and he gives it back to me and it’s $1300 I peeled off 13 $100 bills and we shook hands, and as I went out the door, I shook the other gentleman‘s hand too, but I was so thankful that they brought my motorhome into the shop fixed it and got me back on the road for what I consider a reasonable price if it had been summer, Iwould’ve fixed it myself. But I was not gonna work outside in the dead of winter in February. from there, I made it to Sanger Texas, where I checked into a KOA campground I’ve never used any of the facilities inside the motorhome before so I thought well I better get set up and hooked up to the electricity, water and sewer, and I’ve I’ve worked previously at an RV dealership in the 70s when I got out of the Navy so I thought I knew my way around around campers and stuff and I hooked up the water and next thing I know I have water flowing out over the left rear tire next to the water inlet. The people that I bought it from said oh it’s been well-maintained and serviced and all that well what they neglected to do was winterize the water system. I had broken pipes under the bathroom sink which of course was packed with all of my towels, washcloths, etc., so the water had filled up my tank, which I wanted to do, but then when I pressurize the system that was when the water started flowing out of the broken pipes under the sink. sorry for the long story, but that is the way things go. My suggestion is by the nicest best maintained unit you can find with records to show everything that’s been done to it and enjoy the great outdoors because I’ve enjoyed living in my motorhome, even with all the stuff that’s gone on. then the spring of that year I had to return to Iowa to finish liquidating my property that was in storage I planned on being in Iowa for six weeks. I ended up being there for six months. Then once I was there, I finally got all my stuff done and I was headed back to Texas, but I wanted to travel around Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin to visit friends and family before I headed south again and when I was headed south that was when I had the Tire episode anyway I hope you read all the way through so you’re kind of understand where I’m at in life now I’m 71 years old and I’m not giving up my motorhome because I love it and of course overtime I have fixed up the inside quite a bit from what it was. Everything was pink when I got it, I almost vomited when I opened the door the first time, but I’ve changed everything and most of the colors are blue and neutral. I hope you read it all the way through good luck with your unit. I hope you find one you like.
