Tucson, AZ
January 15-16, 2014
After leaving Houston, we had 3 nights and 4 days of travel before arriving in Tucson. I didn't mention it before, but when we pulled out of Freeport way back on the 5th, our jacks came up, but, the left rear jack dumped about a quart of hydraulic fluid on the concrete pad. Needless to say, we didn't use them again...thank goodness for level sites all the way here!
A phone call was made to Jeff Fisher and an appointment for Thursday, the 16th was made. Jeff replaced our slide motor this time last year!
We had a list of about 5 things we needed done...the jack checked (and yes a new one has been ordered from Winnebago so a return trip for service is scheduled for next week...we were hoping for a repair), new slide toppers installed (nope, the weather just didn't cooperate for Joe to do it in Freeoprt...we had ordered the sunpro material), the basement AC unit serviced (yeah...no problems there!), the generator serviced (yeah...no problems there either!), and the back slide aligned and lubricated (works like a charm now!). Once again Jeff Fisher came through for us. He is a man of integrity and talent. We feel very fortunate to have established this relationship. Thanks Jeff !
So, what do you do when you are homeless in Tucson?

Ah...the desert! Feels like home...until next time,
enjoy the view!
Glad you made it through Texas....isn't that a long, long trip through Texas? Hope you can get everything fixed ok. --Dave (GoingRvWay.com)
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that, only I was in Boise, ID, in October!
ReplyDeleteThe desert does feel like it's home. Maybe it's because we've spent lots of time in it since we've retired. We have yet to get our Jeep on the trails yet. We will. We're sure of that.
ReplyDeleteThe desert sure feels like home to us as well & I can hardly wait to get back to it every Fall.
ReplyDeleteUs too we love, love, love the desert. It is a long drive but sure worth it.
ReplyDeleteGood deal on the service work too.
Don't you just hate being homeless while work is being done. But it's a good feeling to know someone competent is on the job. Looking forward to seeing the desert one day but it is a struggle to get Don away from the coast.
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of our time at Lazy Days in Tucson. How long will you be there? Love those orange and lemon trees, not so fond of the olive trees ,Georgia was constantly trying to eat the olive pits on the ground:(
ReplyDeleteWe love the desert and we will be back in a couple of years. We sure hope Belle is doing fine now. Of all the repairs/maintenance/ done for Belle we are interested to know about your slide toppers. Will these prevent leaks? how does this work when putting the slide back in? Is this Jeff here in FL or in TX or AZ?
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you arrived safely and that you found a good place to have these things fixed on our motorhome. It's always something!
ReplyDeleteNice to have an RV tech you trust. I love having things checked, everything's okay, and I know I'm good for a while. Such a good feeling.
ReplyDeleteYour doggies are so cute, whether asleep or awake.
I love the desert, too. That was a surprise for me, I thought I'd be full-timing in forests - but with solar, that doesn't work so well, so it's deserts for me most of the time. And I've been surprised how nice it is. When I drive back into Quartzsite after being gone for six months I feel exactly the same way, I'm home. :)
Enjoy your stay here in Tucson. The weather has been wonderful this week. Especially if your homeless.
ReplyDeleteWe spent some time in Tucson about 6 years ago and really considered looking for a home there…..then it snowed (January) on the lemon tree beside our MH. We really enjoy the Desert Museum and of course, the food. Enjoy the desert.
ReplyDeletePS….. My favorite is the Saguaro cactus….miles and miles of them.
ReplyDeletetried to send an e-mail would go. was wondering how long you will be in Tucson?

Gay, isn't it wonderful to find someone you can trust to work on your coach! I will have to keep his name in my files. Glad you had a safe and beautiful ride to Tuscon. Your babies are too darn cute!!
