I found them in the web based Houston yellow pages they had a web ad.
They were willing to go out to do the PDI until I told them there was
no concrete, then they asked if it would be possible to bring it to
the shop. Would you pay for the coach PDI? Mitch at Feltons said it
could take up to 4 hours. This will be a strange trip will have to
swing thru San Antonio to pick up a stowmaster 5000 towbar that I
bought for $150.00. On the way home we are going to Ft Worth to
surprise my wife's family for about a week before we head home.
