The RV is beginning to take over our life. It seems like everyday something goes awry. Now we understand that everyone has setbacks with their home, vehicle or job but our RV is a condensed combination of all three!Recently we've had a "mystery" leak in two spots in the RV. We've been wet vacuuming for the past few days but the smell got to be a bit much last night. Actually it was horrible. We called Gary Johnson, a Good Sam director for this region to inquire about an RV repair shop nearby. We had the good fortunate to meet him on the road in Chanute a few days ago. The closest shop was forty miles away in Columbus.
On the way over, one of the panels between the back tire came undone. Lucy spotted it in her rear view mirror. We duct taped it together until we got to the shop. When we got there at 8:30am they told us they were backed up with work for two weeks. He called another shop but they were busy for the next two weeks too. Sometimes, we think the repair guys see our unit and figure it's a problem to work on and to get parts for....understandable but frustrating at times.
On the drive back, our speedometer stopped functioning. At first, I didn't have the heart to tell Lucy but after a few minutes of digesting the situation. I let her know. She just looked at me and sighed. When we got back, we dumped our tanks and decided to to tear up the carpet and padding and see if we could spot a leak and remove any mold or mildew that might be forming. A gentleman told us to treat the area with bleach, water and a little soap. We put the fans on the areas as well to dry them out. We're staying at a motel tonight and we'll go to the mechanic's the first thing in the morning to attack the speedometer issue.
In the meantime, we called our prayer warriors at Southwest Community Church and asked them to pray for protection, provision and good health.
Romans 12:12....Rejoice in hope...be patient in tribulation ...pray
