Day 248 Still in Austin

 It has been raining on Stephanie and Maggie most of the time since they left Florida and today was not different.  Everyone was busy at work which the rain encouraged. There some stress in the morning as we tried to sort out the warranty before the repair people showed up.

After lunch, we got a call and the Saturday repair guy said that he couldn't come Saturday (what was dispatch thinking) but would come in the evening. Dispatch noted that they couldn't promise they would have parts etc. but would do what they could.

At 3.00 the "late next week" place called to day they had a cancelation and could be by at 3.30, (and they had promised parts in stock). So we said sure!!

Three and a half hours later, the persistent, stalwart, problem solving, heroic repair men had replaced the burned out motor, discovered that the whole slide out had been racked and out of alignment probably for a year and we suspect made the warranty company very unhappy with their report (there were a lot of pictures spent and quite some time on the phone).

This is not making us feel warm and fuzzy about the dealer who sold us the RV with the arbitrarily large number of inspection points. No doubt more on that later. We will be scheduling what will probably be a multi-month repair in June...

Had a lovely dinner with our hosts, who continue to be awesomely generous and nice given that we managed to break down on their lawn and invited ourselves to a more extended stay than planned.

It continues to rain buckets.
