Patiance patiance ...

When you have a home that is on wheels you need a little patience, well a lot of patience.

We left our winter home at Sun-N-Fun April 12 and had an appointment at Alliance Coach in Wildwood FL. for annual service and a couple of warranty items. We were in the shop on the 13th for a few hours and they addressed some of the issues and determined that one of the hydraulic leveling jacks needed to be replaced. So that gets ordered on Tuesday I think.
No it didn't get ordered as soon as we would have liked since they had to wait for Monaco/ARG to approve the warranty work.

While we waited we had time to visit with friends in the Villages and those near there. We visited with Toby and Jayne Cargin who I had worked for back in the late '60's. It was a short visit since they were packing to get on the road back to Upstate NY. We also visited with Phil and Jan Cervi who we know from our days at IBM Endicott. Excellent visit. We also visited with our friends from Good Sam who live in Lecanto FL. We met them and another couple at an Italian restaurant in Inverness.
Another great visit. The southern branch of the Hamel family was also on our visit list and again it was with food. It will likely be 3 years before we see any of these folks again since our travel plans will have west of the Mississippi for the next couple of years.

Well the jack finally arrived and was installed. During the wait the fuel filters were also changed and a water leak on the roof was located and fixed.
Meanwhile Rod and Linda arrived and we had a good visit with them while they were getting repairs completed. We took a road trip to Hommassa FL for lunch at the Locker. 1.5 lbs of shrimp plus chips and beer. Quite a lunch.
Rod and Linda were able to get on the road before us since the jack took longer to arrive than was planned.  We were on the road a few days later and headed to the Holiday Rambler Chapter 419 Maintenance Session in Elkhart IN.
