Repaired Camera and New Awning, Life is Good

The remains of the old awning. The fabric ripped in the wind as we neared Flagstaff, AZ. The recorded wind speed was 60 and we drove into it at 40-45 mph. The awning was still attached at the feet and the top part rolled onto the highway. We were about 3 miles from an RV park when it happened.

And here it is, the new awning put on today. It took three appointments to it done. It cost just under $1200.00. And I also got a new a/c cover for the front unit. We also need a new solar panel as the one we have is cracked across the corners now. That means I must go to Ancira again to get it. I got the awning at Camping World and saved about $300.00 over the cost from Ancira. I don't recommend them for repair as their cost are to high.

The camera is back from being repaired. That was a 10 day trip and a 6 day travel time to us. It look like new and works fine. Now there can be pics with our time here.

We also must go back to the Ford house for more "light" repairing. Going to CW, the turn signals worked till the brake pedal was depressed. The "battery" light comes on and goes off with brake pedal depressed, flashes with the turn signals, and goes off when the gas pedal is depressed but comes back on when the pedal is released. Plus the a/c repair is not cold, grease on the carpet and, so far, finally, get the inspection sticker remains off the dash. All that is on Monday, hopefully.

We did see another identical rv like ours at Camping Worlds rv half. It had the manual satellite dish (we have a King Dome), no solar system (we have 240 watts and six '05 6v batteries) and we have the Howard steering system. The coach was stickered at $69,995. Will try to get the mileage, we have 81,0xx. We started with 666xx back in '05. It was a 36B model like ours.

Its Monday and No Awning

Our appointment was for 10 am in south Fort Worth at Camping World. We are 29 miles away in Weatherford. At 8:28 am a call came in from CW to reschedule our appointment. The service tech was not there as he had taken his young son, baby they believe, to the hospital this morning. We were totally discounted and ready to go. Actually DW had gone on an errand and was not back or we would have left by then. So, we re-attached and will try again Saturday at 10 am.

Neither of us have contacts. DW's are yet to arrive and mine will be about a week. I did go ahead and have new glasses made in case. So we will try again to get the right fit for us.

The camera is due back on the 6th via ground. With its return we will be able to get pics again.

No other news from here. We are just relaxing and enjoying the area and Shirley's parents and golf.

You that are traveling, drive safe and enjoy the view.
