And in this corner measuring in at ...... OR What's 3 or 4 more modifications gonna hurt

After we finished the workshop at Camp Bee, we headed to Red Bay, Alibam.  It's time to get our yearly repair list taken care of.  Here's the list for this trip:

Red bay trekker issues:

1. Driver's side BR slide - bearing on bottom rear has fallen out.

2. Front Carefree awning still not retracting completely 

3. Front drivers side electronics bay still gets wet during rain

4. Rear upper drivers side turn signal comes loose 

5. Rear driver's side ride height leveler needs adjusted to within specs - the unit is out of tolerance and so it beeps incessantly.

6. Dining Room chair broke again

7. Body work near engine exhaust pipe.  A piece of tire retread bounced up and hit it.

8. Panel next to refrigerator 

9. Dead Bolt on Entry Door.  Siezed up and broke.

10. Toilet not holding water.  

11. Rear PASSENGER slide - corroded contacts.  This causes the slide to go out crooked (NOT a good thing), so we can't use it.

12. Service AquaHot

We arrived here on October 29th.  They just called us Friday, November 13th to tell us they can get us into the bays to begin repairs this coming Monday (November 16th).

Now you might think that waiting around is a bad thing, but that itsn't so.  We've taken the opportunity to get 3 more modifications made to our rig to provide us additional interior storage.  You may remember that when we first purchased the trekker we had 4 or 5 modifications made to improve usability and increase our interior storage.  Here's the link for you to "go back in History" and relive it: RV makeover part un.

So, without further ado, here are the 3 modifications we've had done this trip:

Our Master Bedroom TV Hide-A-Bureau







The Over The Closet Bureau Hutch





The Back Closet "Hide-Away Shelving Area"



Lord willing, they will get the work on the rig done by the first week of December.  

Over the long thanksgiving weekend we are going to drive our car down to Steve and Kazumi and Neo's new home in Santa Rosa Beach in the panhandle of Florida.  Its about 5-6 hours from Red Bay, Alabama to down there.

Also, on December 5th, I will be holding a seminar on the Book of Revelation and Daniel, chapter 2-9.  That will be an "all-day sucker."  We are beginning @ 8:30 AM and going till 4:30 PM and taking an hour off for lunch.  It will be at the Saucer Creek Church of Christ over in Dennis, Mississippi about 17 miles from Red Bay.  That should be a hoot.  I've got notes I'll give to everyone that attends (right about at 100 pages) - 78 pages on Revelation and the balance on Daniel.  They are the class notes I used to hand out when I taught Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation at the Cape School of Preaching in Cape Town, South Africa.

If they get done our rig repairs by the 3rd of December, after the class is taught we will head home to Mission, TX.  We HOPE to be able to attend the Sojourner get-together that the Blair hold in Pearland, TX (just south of Houston) on the way there.
