Generator woes Update

[Julia Bonser]

All they could say is there was a loose connection probably caused by
vibration over time. It is possible that a good thump caused by
hitting a road gator could have done it but there is no proving it.
I'm not sure how to avoid the problem in the future as we plan on
continuing to travel in our motorhome. It is not ordinarily a place
that would put on a regular maintenance schedule to tighten up loose
fittings etc.

The technician had to work quite hard physically to wrest out the
generator even with the help of the fork lift and jacks to stabilize
it. Then he had to reach back and down to get inside the box to
manipulate the wires to splice and redo the connections. He also
broke the light panel across the front of the motorhome. It has light
bulbs behind it. We have to phone Bluebird Monday as we all know they
don't answer the phone on Friday for the replacement.
