Just Bring It On In

This morning we awoke to no heat, the furnace died.  I did my check to see if there is anything I could do to fix it but it is going to require someone with more skill than I have.  We are in a small town so I wasn’t to hopeful in my search of repairmen. 

I know I am going to hear “why don’t you take the van back to the Roadtrek people that fixed your window?”  Simply put they are idiots.  When I pulled into their place of business I walked all over the outside looking for someone then I walked the length of the building and went into the showroom.  Then I yelled “Yoo Hoo anyone here?”   I was really puzzled because I had an appointment and you would think someone would be there.  I went back to the van and talked to mom about the situation.  So she went into the showroom and hollered to no avail.  We decided to get back in the van and leave.  When we got to the van this kid came up to us and said “what do you want?”  I felt like I was inconveniencing him by being there.  Then when the window was repaired I had the fun job of cleaning up all the glass.  It was in the seats, the rug, in our bedding, it was EVERYWHERE!  I had them order the parts I needed to fixed the rest of the stuff wrong with the van and decided never go to a Roadtrek Service Department again.  We have only been to three out of the 4 I know of and two of them were god awful. 

This morning I found a RV Service that was opened on Saturday about 10 miles away and I gave them a call.  I was promptly transferred to a technician.  I was feeling hopeful.  I told him what the problem was and I thought it could be the thermostat aka doo hookie.  He said “no problem, just bring the furnace in.”

I said “excuse me.”

He said, “take the furnace out out of your rig and bring it in.” 

I told him to have a nice day.

No really I did tell him to have a nice day.

I found another place about 50 miles away and they scheduled us in for Tuesday. 

We are going to be here for  awhile. 

I am going to think of something positive…. Before I started RVing my idea of fixing something was to beat it with a hammer.  I have learned to make repairs and fix things that I never knew I could fix.  I also am learning how to cook without burning something or someone.  There is just one thing I cannot do… I cannot take my furnace out and drive it 10 miles down the road. 

It is going to be a great day tomorrow.
