All Repaired YAY!

Sorry for not posting earlier. Monday we called our paint contact about the scratches on the side of the RV and also the installer of the slide topper, lazed around till 4pm, then got ready to move the RV to RV Electronics about a half mile away to get our HDMI cables checked and replaced. Two were damaged, but we only needed one to be repaired for our satellite dish to work. Nick Brewer, the proprietor, knew from the description of our problem that at least one would need to be replaced, so he had come prepared. The cable is 54 feet long and gets threaded through the walls of the RV. Within 2-1/2 hours he had the old cable out and the new one in. It pays to go to the best!

Brad, our paint contact came by on Tuesday. The scratches can be buffed out but he is booked solid til mid April. So we'll probably get it done when we return home, although it will cost much more there.

Trevor, who put in our slide topper, wasn't available until Wednesday. Every then it took two texts, 2 calls, and a visit to his shop to get him to come inspect our slide topper (ST). The ST droops and doesn't function as it should.  He came out late in the afternoon, then said have it at his shop at 8am on Thursday and he'll have it done by noon. During the night a severe storm front moved thru the area and popped the entire ST from the slideout. (We were there 5 days, and had thunderstorms and flood watches every day). Anyway, we checked out of the RV Park and got to Trevor's shop well before 8 am, and they decided it needed a new spring. Which they couldn't get until after 1:30pm. After putting it together and reinstalling it several times, they decided they needed to narrow the width of the ST, which is what Nancy and I suggested to them last year when it was installed. After that, it works perfectly. But by then it was too late to go to our next destination so we had to go back to the RV Park for the night.

But the good part is that we are now ready to roll and continue our travels.
