Today, I finally located the link I didn't know I was supposed to look for earlier and here I am. I really enjoyed your take on the repairs and I hope all goes well with your driving that big thing. If the road is straight and the going is good, I would take a practice run. Thank you for commenting so many times without me getting back to you.

And I hope that you guys reach an amicable decision on the driving. I guess that part of RV'ing is adapting to new challenges.

Craig and I switch off ever hour or so. I also do some of yhe tight backing in because he is better at giving directions than I am. In our first year he had four rather costly encounters with objects because he cut it to close or did not check everything out before moving. I don't know how many other "almosts" there were. Now he has finally learned to slow down a bit and treat the Alfa like a big box and not lie a little car.<br /><br />I hope John will be better and will learn to listen to you more. Reading between the lines I think he might just be a bit stubborn!Merikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378095339747943548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-59165180726758388432014-01-04T22:32:31.415-05:002014-01-04T22:32:31.415-05:00You are in the best place to get your "baby&q...You are in the best place to get your "baby" back in shape.

That's great of Tiffin to allow you to watch the work they are doing. I love Winnebago but they always say there are "liability issues" just like Lazy Days. Great coverage there. I normally don't care much for repair stories but yours was great. I have the same "slow down" ahhem "discussions" and think it is always good for both partners to be able to drive the rig comfortably. You just never know.

I love Winnebago and they have been wonderful to us especially their tech service but we get the "insurance won't allow it" story when David has asked to watch. Good for you for stepping up to drive. It's good for all of us to be able to. I don't have the depth perception David does so he does most of the driving but we have had the slow down discussion many times.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-76274565320975133252014-01-04T14:18:52.810-05:002014-01-04T14:18:52.810-05:00Thanks for the photos and details.

If John is not feeling comfortable in some driving situations (like city blocks or commercial shopping and parking lots) you can do those, and let him do the rural and interstate stuff? <br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Blog) RVing: The USA Is Our Big Backyard<br />http://kareninthewoods-kareninthewoods.blogspot.com<br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*KarenInTheWoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884478307015605168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-62768038144295185322014-01-04T12:22:34.759-05:002014-01-04T12:22:34.759-05:00Love your take on having work done.

Betsy and I both drive the rig and agree that slow is the key. If need be, we stop and hold up traffic until we make a clear decision. After all, we will never see those honking and yelling people ever again.
