and the saga continues.....

Ok, today, a mobile RV repair guy shows up right on time and he came from over 90 miles away. I thought to myself, "Cool! Maybe this is a good omen" NOT! The guy was here at 9:30 AM and left around 2:00 AFTER he broke a rod that is made to manually get the slide in. Now, the slide won't move at all! Resigned, we call Coach Net and they tell us they can't tow us with the slide out because it could damage the slide even more. They referred us to the same guy that was already here! Alan told them what happened and that the guy basically just left.. So, they called around to find someone else and that guy is even further away, but says he'll be here today. The closest dealer (again, MANY miles from here) can't take us til next Monday, so we are stuck here til then. The hope is that this new guy can get the slide in and then we will drive to the dealer if it is safe to do. We are fairly sure the ins. will cover the repair, tho we also know how well that has worked out in the past!
We are both debating about continuing this lifestyle. We want to stick it out, but, financially, these repairs are killing us. It would be hard, if not impossible, to get all of our money out of it if we sell. There apparently is no such thing as a lemon law for us. And the stress!! Alan tends to go to anger and I tend to go to tears and neither one helps a bit. We imagined a life of easy travel days, arriving 2-4 PM and then spending a day or two sightseeing, not this "OMG! It died again, the slide won't move and has torn up the carpeting, the GPS has us on a street you wouldn't take a VW bug down, this doesn't work or that is making a weird noise" It's crap.
The up side is that we have met some really nice people here....ones we'd like to keep in touch with, there is a nice pool, a great shower and laundry. We played pool the other night and that was fun.
