Yay!
My motor home is back in her proper place in the driveway!
<insert collective cheers & whistles here>
After picking her up, I got an oil change at Kwik Kar.
All looks good there.
They sealed around my vents & such too, which was unexpected.
And they rebuilt my entry step! Totally cool!!
The only thing I'm not happy about is, they did not put the glazing bead back on the overhead cab window.
Instead, they put a bunch more caulk around there. I'll fix it myself later. I'm thrilled that they fixed that naughty step in well area that keeps breaking! At no charge to me.
AND they replaced my air conditioner cover too! Now that's a big Yipeee too!
The old one was cracked on the drivers side of the rig.
Then one fine day, I decided to crack the other side with my tv antenna!
Duh. Forgot to line the arrows back up before I rolled it down, so SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!!
I was hitting the daylights out of the passengers side of the a/c's cover! And well, I broked it more.
So now I have a nice new (used) air conditioner cover at no cost to me! And this one is not cracked!
Ellie needs a nice lovely bath & waxing. (we girls need that y'know), but that's for another time.
I am beat! My back will be really happy to be sleeping on my own bed tonight. It's not made for big soft sofas. So I'm still a little groggy from the pain meds I took last night. I had to double dose (kinda, within a few hours of the first dose).
Next week, I'll take her into another RV place, in town, so not too far to get the generator fixed on it's final repairs.
Then I'll take it over to a mechanic for an estimate on fixing an exhaust leak.

It's time to take a nap in my cocoon now ;-)
~As always, be kind to your pets, clean up after them on your travels & respect your neighbor~
So glad Ellie is out of the shop and in the driveway where she belongs. It was sure nice of them to go the extra mile this time after all they put you through.
ReplyDeleteThank You John! Whew, I sure am beat. Yes, I'm thrilled that they did the extra things as well. :-)
DeleteYay! Welcome home to both you and Ellie! Nothing like living and sleeping in our own space. I'm glad it was a sweet reunion! Have a terrific weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about that, as you well know from your own personal expirence as of late! Thank you, have a good one yourself!
DeleteSo happy for you!! I'll bet you sleep good tonight. She will be all fixed up looking like new after her bath. Maybe you should get a spa treatment too. :)
ReplyDeleteJust a nice loooong nap would be like a spa treatment at this point. I did manage a tiny one in, but the dogs all had to be ran, so I didn't get to snooze very long.
DeleteMaybe a professional portrait (by you!) of her when she is back home from her spa treatment?
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of glad it's a bit too cold outside. I'd be tempted & there's no way I could even wash one single tire right now...
DeleteYay! I know you are relieved and glad to have her back!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am Kim. It sure was nice to sleep in my own bed. Now I'm sitting on my own sofa, laptop in lap, TV rumbling on :-)
DeleteYEAH!!!!!! Sweet dreams!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGood News that you have your home back. I often wonder what I would do if I had to leave my RV somewhere for service. I wonder why they use caulk instead of the window beading?
ReplyDeleteTeri, generally, I get to stay in my RV, but this wasn't possible at this place. It's not a side of town where one would want to walk down the street, let alone stay there! But most places, depending on what kind of work they have to do, you can stay there.
DeleteNothing like your own bed. I am lucky to love both our home bed and the Alfa bed. I was worried about it being small, but it feels good.
ReplyDeleteIt's playing house Merikay, it's just fun :)
DeleteAwesome!!! So, glad you have her back home all safe and sound and with all the extra work done! I know you will enjoy your sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteSleep well in your cocoon!
Happy you have Elli back and added free fixes. Sleep well.
ReplyDeleteThanks. yes, the other fixes were a nice perk.
DeleteI'm glad they got the work done, did they explain what they removed and used to get the thing to hold together so in a year you aren't back there? I don't understand them doing all that work and forgetting to install the window bead, using a bunch of caulk would be a red flag to me.
ReplyDeleteI hope it lasts and is leak free for you! Have a great weekend!
Erik
Erik, they did not forget to install the glazing bead, I think they opted out by using all that caulk instead. It's a mess. I don't want to go back again, so I'll have to fix that on my own when I'm able to I guess. I needed them to straighten out a few things too, so that got done. If the sidewall were to become loose again, I know how to fix that. But I hope I never have to!
DeleteSo good to have your home home.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. We have to be comfy & cozy inside of our little homes.
