Let's get serious

[brad barton]

I'd be glad to pay the going rate of 95-135/hr in the DFW area if I could make
sure the parts were OEM or better and that the repair is done right once and for
all. My experience with local talent has been to find perservering honest
people who do their best but don't manage to get the job completely done.
For instance, my entry door has been worked on four times and still takes a hard
slam to get it latched properly. My 12V air compressor was replaced but I
suspect an air leak (I still have) was responsible for overrunning the pump in
the first place and wearing it out prematurely. A minor water leak (that had
been "fixed") at the air purge toggle valve ran me out of water (from a quarter
tank) and I found the water pump running for who knows how long. Now I don't
know how long I've shortened its life by not catching it earlier.
If I thought someone would do it right and stand behind it for labor and parts,
I'd consider paying more.
I'd also like to go to an owners' seminar for my particular vintage of coach
with a Blue Bird engineer. More people buy these coaches used without any
orientation from the factory. Brad Barton 00LXiDFWbbartonwx@...

I think it's probably realistic to pose a question to the group as a whole. I
think the time has come for members to step up to the plate, particularly the
ones who feel they need a genuine service facility to fix on ALL Wanderlodges,
and state what they view as a fair labor rate. Have at it you guys, what are you
willing to spend, actually pull out the dusty wallet and drop some dinero. I'm
sure 'ol Macy will be VERY interested, and such information could well be
instrumental in justifying such a venture.Don't be shy, let's hear it!!!Mike
