Yesterday I went for an emission inspection and the guy driving the MH hit a skid and damaged the front bumper and now will be in the body shop for about 3 weeks.
Wow. I'd have that gov emission worker's head on a platter. AND I sure wouldn't wait 3 weeks for the body work to be done either. That's just your typical RV shop taking how ever long they want to. I'd be lighting a fire under them too. That's way longer than needed to replace a bumper.
You are a better man than me Charlie Brown or at least a lot more patient than I would be!
Sorry to hear you are running into obstacles delaying your lift off to warmer weather.
