HOMELESS

February 6, 2020

Last August we had our air conditioning units on  the roof replaced. We had such a terrible experience at Camping World that we said we would never go back there.  We had been customers since 1996. We left in December so we had no reason to test it.  A few weeks ago it was hot enough, so tried to turn it on. It didn't work. It seemed to us that they didn't connect it to the thermostat when they installed the units. Since it was under warranty we had to take it back to Camping World January 28th. We thought it would be a few days, but that  was wishful thinking on our part. Luckily, we have friends and family that we could stay with.  When we took it in, the parts rep asked if they had told us they were really backed up.  No, the clerk DID NOT mention it.  It might be 3-4 days.  Why would they make an appointment for a certain day when they are so backed up. We thought it meant it would be done then, but that was wishful thinking on our part again. In 3.5 days, it had been worked on one hour!  It has now been 9 days and we are still homeless. First few days we stayed with Denny's cousin, Judy. She had been expecting company on the 6th, but they came early, so we had to move up to our friends in Scottsdale for 1 night, then down to my cousin in Buckeye. I took a few things out of the RV, but, seems like every time I want something , it is in the RV. GRRRRRR, so frustrating. Embarrassing to ask people if we can stay at their house, especially when we had no idea it would take this long.

If we are lucky, we might get it tomorrow. Turns out it is the thermostat itself, which isn't under warranty because it wasn't worked on.  The computer board went out. Still seems strange to us that this all started when they worked on it.   We haven't had much trouble with the RV yet, so guess it's our time. It is 13 years old.

We just spent $2500 on our truck, so this trip is turning out to be very expensive.

Will let you know when we get our home back
