Final Winnebago factory service?

One of the things I love about going to the factory for service is they do updates we didn’t know we were in line for. Apparently we are getting a new door lock even though we’ve had no trouble with ours. We have friends who’ve been locked in or out of their RVs when their lock failed but our unit did not show up on the recall list so we did not think we were at risk. Now, for sure, we are not.

As you all know, one the things I don’t like about the factory is that they start at 7 am! I don’t. But, I did today. So when I felt ready for lunch I checked the time and it said 9:30 am! I managed to wait until 11 but I sure blew my eating plan today. And yesterday. And the day before. I’m going to have some remedial work to do here.

The good news, I think, is that they have been able to replicate the leak of our slide. The reason I’m not sure that’s a good thing is that they are now on their second day of trying to stop that leak. I think they have the head slide guy working on it today. I hope that bodes well for a fix.

Although, I’m not sure what we’ll do if they do get it fixed today. Forecasts for the next couple of days is for gusty winds during which we prefer not to be on the road. So, I’m doing my research on lots of potential places to stop. Right now the next storm headed right at us is currently in Des Moines which is the direction we are supposed to head when we leave here. It looks like, if we wait that one out here, we should at least be able to avoid today’s thunderstorms while traveling.

Wish us luck.

TTYL,

Linda

  1. Take a break and stay put if those winds are in the forecast. They aren’t fun to drive in and you folks need to stay safe!

  2. Fingers crossed your leak gets fixed by the head guy. And definitely stay put till that storm is past. Be safe. And having a lock that works is a good thing – just ask me.

  3. Glad they found the leak…now just fix it! Please be careful in that weather you having! Safe travels.

  4. I’ve got my fingers crossed! After a mere two days on the road, I’m playing the waiting game again. 🙁

  5. ARGH!

    I wish things had worked out differently. We just bought our (new to us) coach from Lichtsinn, and have been waiting on the dealer to make some repairs. We left F.C. on Monday to make it back to Milwaukee for a zoning commission meeting, and were supposed to come back today — but the dealer hasn’t finished the repair and we decided to return to FC on Mon or Tues…. would have been nice to hoist a cuppa with you.

    Safe travels!
