We celebrated too soon.
Up and around this morning, looking forward to being on the road again after our unplanned, but very enjoyable extended stay at Williamsport, PA. When they installed the new parts yesterday afternoon, they didn't leave a bill. When Roger asked about it, the answer was "I'm just the repairman". OK. So our first chore of the day was to find this RV dealership. No problem. Right.
Roger programmed "Sylvia" - our GPS system with the sexy voice - with the location information he had. (Now I had already learned that "Sylvia" couldn't be completely trusted, as she took me on a bit of a goose chase a couple of days earlier when trying to find the nearest Sam's Club & Wal Mart - and then find my way back to the campground). Sure enough - after driving 20+ miles we ended up (literally) in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Seems "Syliva" had taken us to "Clifford Lane" - not Clifford Road. So as soon as we had cell service again, the female with the brain - ME - called and asked directions. Granted, it turned out we were at least in the right town. With the bill settled, we headed back to the campgroud, said our goodbyes - and headed east.
Drove through some very heavy rain - with a bit of lightening - and arrived at the Delaware Water Gap KOA about 3:00 p.m. We're feeling really good about things - back on schedule - and we pulled in to our site and prepared to unhook. You guessed it. The problem with the front lift legs is still with us - only worse. We were finally able to get it up enough to get the truck out from under it, but it's obvious this is a problem we can't 'live with', as we hook up and unhook on the average of every 2 days.
We got level enough to survive for the next 3 nights, but Roger immediately called the RV dealer back in Williamsport. He is convinced it is the gear box motor. He was convinced of that when it first happened, but the repairman claimed they took it apart and found nothing wrong. That may be, but it still doesn't work! So now we are waiting on a call back from them telling us when it will be at their shop. So it looks like we head back west first thing Saturday morning and hang around the area until it arrives.
At this point our schedule is in a state of constant chaos - with daily changes. It's looking like a very long summer.
