A week after we got back from our trip to the Southeast, we took our Bay into Shorewood RV for some follow up warranty work and a engine, gen and chassis service. It wasn't due yet, but I thought it would be agood idea.
The windshield wipers failed again the first time I used them after having them fixed in Red Bay. Very frustrating, just a poor design in my opinion. If it happens agin, Bob T will be getting a call and some other actions will be taken. I am very displeased about this. The saving grace is that is really the only issue we have had with ethe motorhome.
We bought a new Jeep Unlimited Sahara to use as a toad on future trips. We ended up spending more on rentals while gone that we expected. That's what drove that decision. I had Shorewood put the Blue Ox baseplate on the Jeep when we went back to pick up the Bay. They also wired the Brake Buddy, failsafe, etc. We had a problem where the Jeep front tires locked in a slight right turn while driving back home. I had given Shorewood detailed instructions on how to hookup the brake buddy and they chose to ignore them and give us instruction that said to not keep the key in the car in the Acc position. Since they were the experts we followed their advice. We ended up completely ruining the two front tires. Nope I wasn't happy.
I though Shorewood should pay for the tires and any damage to the Jeep. Of course they didn't. Ended up that they did pay for the tires, installation and a 4 wheel alignment. They are also responsible for any future issues related to the front end of the Jeep. Warranty or not. I had to get tough and threaten further action, but they did agree. Bottom line: follow you owners manual and don't deviate.
Just been cleaning and waxing the motorhome getting ready for the FMCA convention in Albert Lee mid June. Can't wait to tour the Spam factory.
Signed up for the Fall TRVN Rally in tennessee in october and the next spring Rally in Alabame near Perdidio Key. That'll be fun.
All for now.
