We then drove 58 miles to Florence for a scheduled blood test. On the way back, called for a status and found out parts needed to be ordered and couldn't get here before Thursday. So we took the RV to the second guy and he had his repair guy check it out. The levelers in the rear are 10K pound levelers (the engine is back there). They can't be found for replacement as the company that made them went bankrupt several years ago.
So he tested the leveler, and thought a gear had broken. He removed it from the chassis and together we took it apart. That amounts to removing it's motor from the leg itself to get to the gears. But none of the gears were broken.
Remember last week I mentioned how bad that one campground was and how uneven the site was? Well, there are two lifting rods in the leveler leg, one of which was bent from the pressure on the leg from the uneven site. They can't be replaced because the leg is welded together. So we had a good motor but a bad leg.
Fortunately he had in his inventory the same leg we needed, but with a motor with a bad bearing. After talking to the owner, they agreed to sell us the leg to use with our good motor. Long story short, we put them together and it works. We now have fully functioning levelers.
As to our satellite, we had the receiver tested and it works fine. Put a new module on the roof as we were told that would fix the problem, as we had the HDMI cable replaced last night. Nope, it doesn't work. That repairman is on his way here now.
Status update: he came, he fixed, he conquered. We now have satellite TV, at least from 2 of 3 satellites. Will find out more tomorrow or Wednesday with a little more testing.
