Awake: 4:55am Temp 64 sleep 5+53 sunny elevation
806 ft overnight@ the Newell service campground.
Our doorbell rings @ 6:35am. Kathy is up & dressed (good thing) as our
motorhome is quickly taken into service bay # 17. Mike, one of (2)
schedulers for service, comes aboard our coach to discuss items that need
attention. We didn’t plan on stopping @ Newell during this 3 month tour,
but our motorhome tires were beginning to get my attention: the more I
read about them & talked to people of experience, the more I felt
compelled to do something about them.
Mike assigns some of the techs for the various items to repair or to
replace on our list.
Today’s progress: 1.) Oil & filter change on the series 60 Detroit diesel.
2.) (6) new XZA2 Energy Michelin tires
replaced on the drive wheels & Tag axle.
3.) (2) Latches replaced on the aux generator cooling
access door.
4.) Gaggenau cook-top cover replaced……our original
had a minute crack when we first got the coach,
then it continued.
5.) Skylight closet sealed to stop small water leakage.
@ 6:00pm, we meet with Larry & Jo Ann for dinner. We have known this
couple since May of 2003 & they are having their new 2006 Newell in for
the 1st preventive maintenance check. They drive us over to the Buffalo
Run Casino (15 min) where we eat & gab for over an hr but no gambling.
Kathy & I share a great tasting filet steak dinner.
We return to our respective Newell motor homes to spend the night inside
the service building. Cable TV is provided to the individual coaches
inside the building & tonight, K & I try & catch up with the news.
High today=? Lights out: 11:12pm
