Camping World, Longmont, CO, and Sue Horne's house, Niwot, CO -- 7/21-22
Since it was tricky to manoeuvre the trailer into our parking space at Skylark MHP, we decided to tackle the Camping World repairs at the end of our stay here. We had visited and made sure they had all the right parts for the job that ABQ failed at and set up an appointment. We had to add on the repair of the back window awning that tore in the strong winds in ABQ. We decided to bring the trailer up the night before and take the cats to Sue's house where we would all sleep. She very kindly gave the 5 of us the use of her bedroom & bath for our stay. This worked out very well. The cats must have been comforted by the smell of their friend Sue everywhere, because they settled down quite comfortably and were ready to live there forever. They did wonder about the other cats they could sense!!
The CW work went somewhat better than before. At least they got the main part of the work done on the slideout awnings and window awnings. They were not able to work on the air conditioner at all, which continued to operate somewhat problematically. They needed an extra 4 hours to complete the long window awning project, since despite their "careful" measuring, CW in ABQ had ordered the wrong sized window-awning. Luckily, what they ordered was too long, so it could be cut down to fit, which just took extra time. There was also a lot of hassle with the paperwork, due to the fact that ABQ had not entered things properly into their computer so Longmont had problems getting it all figured out correctly. They did give us about $100 off for our "trouble", which ALMOST made up for the aggravation! We still will try to find someone other than a CW to do work for us in the future!
