Went on another weekend trip.. after a front alignment and
2 new front tires (ruined one on hittiing pot holes on road repairs I suspect from my last trip)
Joined Good Sam's Club road side assist after finding out CAA only will do tows and any phone calls to ask questions (ie can they send someone out to look at my broken wiper) counts as a service... wow...
Good Sam's road side had a special on for $99.00 for 2 years and they will send service out to me, as well as I can call and ask questions about any issues I may have or need (ie where to find a place to fix my wiper)... pretty great deal if it is what it says.
On the way home heard what sounded like an open window sound on drivers side...
got louder as I neared home.
Went into Speedy Auto Glass next morning (mom and pop shop in town..real honest people) and they pointed out that my driver's windshield had come away
from the seals and needed to be repaired...
said could have fallen out while I was driving.. eeek.
thankfully
they said it was only a $200.00 repair and they can do it on Tuesday.
I leave for Romulous NY for 7 days with a friend to a dog show
... . phew so glad i checked it out..
Pinched (and cut wire) on my 50 amp twist lock cord in my hydrolic levellers... so that will be $265.00 to replace or just get a short extension for now at $139.00...
I have a leak coming in a corner and RV place suggests it is
my roof of the push outs... no time to check that out before my big trip :(
Now if I can figure out why I don't have hot water... I will be golden. I can't remember where the bipass valve for winterizing is... as I wanted to check that (read on a forum to look at that).
I sure hope this learning curve cost ends soon..
I did have a great time enjoying the luxery of staying at a dog show
and so did my dogs... was a great weekend other than the repairs..
I think I'm getting the gyst of RV'ing finally ;)
Really excited about this weekend's dog show...
maybe someone with a Class A will be there to give me some tips..
