Snafu #1

"Snafu" as in "problem, glitch, minor to major annoyance"

"#1" as in "I'm sure there will be others!"

Have you folks ever seen a motor home out there on the highway with it's slides out?  No.  Me either.  Same for the levelers.  If the levelers are down, you can't drive.

Well, while setting up on our first night out (Marblehead, OH) everything froze, with the levelers down and the slide half way out, it just froze.  (Picture Bill breaking out in a cold sweat - which actually would have felt pretty good considering the HOT sweat I was drenched in at the time.)

After letting it sit for a minute, everything worked again - sort of.  The slide would move, but only came part way in.  Long story short (too late - I know), everything is retracted, we are on the road, but we don't dare try to push anything out or down.  We have an appointment with Camping World in Minnesota for noonish today and hopefully we'll get this resolved.

I'm sure it's probably just some little $500 part.

  1. Wow! I've been wondering how things were going. I'm glad you were able to get everything pulled in so you could at least roll out!!! Hopefully they'll be able to fix the problem once you get to MN.
