Yea, I realize all that. I was in the automotive collision industry until I retired a few years ago, body shop rates are half that and they still survive. Insurance company's are what keep their labor rate down since body shops are dependent on insurance work to stay in business.

My dad has had good luck with them doing a repair on his last TT. His new TT the didn’t do a very good job with the warranty work they did on his new Jayco. The only difference between the two TT’s is that the dealership is now owned by camping world.

I hate having poor dealerships that don’t seem to care about doing a good job. It’s like Don Weir dodge. They had a horrible service center. Now that Dolan owns it things aren’t any better. I had to drive to Carson Ram to get my truck fixed properly.

I really know nothing about Sierra as far as service goes. Just always hear horror stories about dealers taking weeks or months to get anything done. Their people are very friendly though. I'm just nervous as they may have to get very serious with my problem. The guy I talked to said he has seen mice in the roof causing wire damage. If that's the case the roof will have to come off as well as the wood paneling under it.......ugh.

I bought my Ram at Carson Dodge and had a great experience. Fernley Dodge has done all my recalls since they are closer. Only been to Don Weir to look at trucks once, and the high pressure turned my off. But that was 10 years ago.

I guess I broke the lamp shade covering over the dinning table thanks to the roads in Colorado! I’ll have to fix when we get home, as the metal sheared off from the shade frame.

Saw the play Texas in 2012 and last year over 4th weekend. This year they are not performing for the first time since it began...because of CV-19 (Wuhan Virus).

Added motion detector battery operated Puck lights to my Pantry and coat closet.

Took the wheel covers off, lit the fridge, loaded groceries and clothes, filled water tank, checked tire pressure on motorhome and trailer, hooked up trailer and ready to depart at around 2:00am when i like to travel best. On my way to Mammoth/June lakes area.

Had to but the thermostat back on the wall. When we got to ID campground today. The screws stripped out of the wall. Luckily I had larger screws with me! Problem solved! Happy camping everyone!

Loaded the frig and freezer with food (started it yesterday and everything was nice and frosty in the morning) in preparation for our first trip of the season tomorrow. With all this Covid-19 quarantine it will be great to get out of the house for an extended period and enjoy the outdoors.

Rebuilt one of the frig fans assemblies. Both sets are failing, sometimes they squeak, sometimes they don't turn, sometimes just noisy. You could hear them one anywhere in the TT, even with the frig door closed.

Thought I would try to rebuild the worst fan assembly first. Ordered two new fans.
These new fans are twice as thick as the original fans. The new fans say they move 18.7 cfm each. Similar one to the originals say the move 9.4 cfm. The new fans have a more noticeable high frequency pitch, but you only hear the fan when the door is open. The old fans could be heard in the TT even when new.

Not sure I will need to rebuild the other fan. May disconnect it, as see how the frig does over the next few weeks.

You can really feel the air movement.

Wow, you have got to be kidding, I should go to a rv dealer and work.

Cut a hole in the side of my fiver and added a washer and dryer vent.

If mounted on the rear will the vacuum in the air pull it open? If mounted on the side will air make the little flaps flap around?
