New Baby


Why is life never simple? On Monday we headed to Lazydays to have our RV serviced for our Summer Trip. While we were there Chris says let's see our Salesman, James Paredes, to see if they have a new RV and can make us an offer we cannot refuse. I looked at him and said, "You are kidding?" Well he wasn't and they did! WE now own a new 2010 Winnebago.
Now comes the not so simple part.
When we test drove the RV, the rear and side camers were not working. Simple enough to fix. Also, Chris wanted another extender put on the rear tire making it easy to check and add air, to the duel tires. Again simple enough, Yeh Right!
Everyone was good to keep us a breast of the situation and we were told to pick up our new baby on Friday. We even had a confirmation call that morning saying everything is done and ready for pick up.
When we got there nothing had been done. Chris blew a gasket (this had happened with the last motor home) so we asked to see the supervisor. The motor home had simply sat there, with nothing being done. It took the supervisor ordering a new monitor from Winnebago to be shipped over night, and Chris going ballistic, because no one seemed to understand about tire air extentions, to get the job done. (They even had to look at our current RV to know what we wanted. This wasn't rocket science!)
OK, now we are ready for the walk through, but first the coach had to have a couple of last minute details handled (tighting a washer on the outside shower and washing off the glue they got on the front windshield). All things that should have been done before we were told it was ready.
Saturday afternoon and we are finally done and all set to bring her home. Once home, Chris parks the unit in the space we have and what does he do but RUN ONER MY PLANTER and cracks it in 3 places. (By the way this is the SAME length as the old one!) Then the emergency brake won't engage which means our sides won't slide out. Here we go again. I call Lazydays to make arrangements to bring her back up. At this point WHERE'S MY WINE?
Today, Sunday, Chris is cleaning the love bugs off the home and decides to try a couple of things to see if the emergency brake will engage. He figures he can't due more damage so he really stomps on the break and guess what? IT WORKS!...............WHERE'S MY WINE???????
The queston of the hour is, "Will I survive the summer and not become a Wine-O?"
