Wanderlodge purchase by Complete Coach Works

[Tom McCarthy]

Hey Dan,

Not going to RIV but will be at Flying Flags for the SWBB ralley
October 5 and Quartzite in January '08.

I gave up on Holland service. I had my 4 air conditioners serviced
before leaving for our summer trip (currently at Outdoor Resorts
Pacific Shores, Newport, OR). Just a cleaning and checkout. Two
days out, we had lost the front AC cover. Never touched anything,
just riding down the road. I had a local technician go up and check
it out for replacement. The second in line had one screw left
holding it and the other two had all screws almost backed out all the
way. They never finished the job to tighten down the covers. They
all had to be hand tightened. Since Loren Schwartz left last fall,
every event with HMH had been similar. I will not go back.

Glad to hear about how nice the 450 XLi handles. Carolyn loves the
layout better than any Prevost conversion we have ever been through.
When my son graduates from high school next spring, we are going to
trade up to either a 450 or Prevost, depending how this new deal with
CCW works out. I am encouraged that they will listen and we will get
quality product and service again.
