Let's get serious

[Gregory OConnor]

It sounds like all your issues require a RV mechanic not a Big rig
truck/bus repair facility.

One thing to check on the door is aignment. as you close the door
the top lip and the bottom lip must touch at the same time. if the
door is tweeked you can close it on a 2X4 to adjust the flatness.
It could also be the top and bottom seal are too thick. BY the time
a shop looks at it, the mis alignment of the latch is faulty as a
result of slamming to a close(latch alignment is a result not the
cause). On my 94 the alumnium door swells in the sun and gets jammed
in the opening.


Factory orientation for owners of Vintage birds?? sound like
something Eli Lilly would sponsor.

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.

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.

coaches used without any orientation from the factory. Brad

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 HohnsteinGermantown, WIAutoTransDesign.com83FC35
