Slide repair

We hit another huge snag today. The part that is needed for the RV slideout has to be custom made which will take a minimum of 2 weeks, then another week to ship it to Las Cruces. In the meantime, our insurance company is starting to make waves about the labor costs and we really don't know what will be covered. We have an appointment for Tuesday to take it in and the insurance company will be sending a representative to investigate our claim for what is wrong. Winnebago states that it must be the rail and the only solution is a new one.
We don't know if they will have to take the slide apart and, if they do, if they can put it back together again so we can live in it or if we'll have to "hotel" it til the part comes in. The latter would be a HUGE expense considering a room and meals out.....which the ins. won't cover, except for 5 days.
We feel so tired, so defeated....this is NOT what we thought we were getting into at all! We expected a gypsy life of travel and seeing new places, but 3/4 of our time has been spent dealing with repairs. Yesterday, the latches on an compartment just broke loose for no reason at all....now we can't close that. Alan tried twice to repair it, but it won't hold and no one carries the part...it must be ordered!
This feels like the last straw.....I'm done and Alan is, too. We are talking of finding a home on the coast and I hope we do. I have been missing my home a TON and wishing we didn't have to sell it. But we did and nothing can change that fact.....so we move on to somewhere that has no snow and, hopefully, has a great ocean view!!
On the plus side, Lisa is feeling great...hasn't thrown up all day! So I guess we are back to an even keel with her and her health, at least for now. She has been such a trooper thruout all of this......she is an inspiration to be sure!
