At the generator shop in Elkhart, IN

When we got back to pick up the rig, we realized that they had put the rear levelers in front of the back tires right next to each other. Ron inquired as to why they did that, & they said it was the only place they could find to install them. We think it was convenient to them, and Ron told them he was not happy & that if they caused him any problem, we would be back.

Then, it was on to the generator plant, we had called in advance to let them know we were coming & they said to come on in, they'd get started the next morning....the only problem was, no one told the workers that we were coming in...Sheesh, talk about non communication...not only didn't they know we had an appointment, they didn't even have our generator available. They had to take another customer's generator & put it in our rig. Fortunately, it was the same one we had requested. That was on a Friday, that we dropped it off & by the end of the day, it was obvious they weren't going to be done by the end of the day. So, we decided that instead of us staying the weekend there, we'd leave the rig inside their building & drive up to our kid's house in northern Illinois for the weekend. So, that is what we did.

Working on the levelers



The next morning, we drove the bus in to have the levelers installed. Last year, when we stopped by, they said they could install them in back of the tires, one on each side, so assuming that was what was still planned, off we went to enjoy the day while they worked on the bus.
