Once in a while, someone from "the city" will ask what we do all day. Well... some of us acquire camper clunkers. The purchase itself meant a trip to Maine. And perhaps because it was a clunker (not 100% sure why the previous owners were 5 hours late meeting us) the trip took a day longer than planned.
Arriving home (without any problems - wonders of wonders) John drove it to the garage in town to "talk about" and make arrangements for repairs. We were away ten days but then trips and calls to the garage resumed to "talk about" more repairs they felt needed doing. Let's see... out of the first 18 days we had the clunker, it was in the shop 14 (we DID have it at home for Christmas).
With the clunker in our garage, John took out those beastly seats and replaced the carpet. A friend came to confer about the camper's furnace (not working... aren't you surprised?) resulting in a trip to the RV store for "a part" and another visit by our friend to install it (it now works wonderfully!). Then the clunker was off to the "front end" garage for more talking and repairs. Made two trips today to pick the clunker up because we forgot the mechanic took a Spanish lunch on Wednesday's (3 hours!). Were told we'll "get used to the sloppy steering - it'll be sort of like the VW" - can't wait! Stopped at another garage on the way home to "talk about" the muffler - appointment for Friday. (Do we get extra points for using every local garage there is?)
Need I continue? Our days are FULL!
