Looks like @Neal has been shopping again.

This is when you stand up in the meeting and say hi, I'm Neal and I'm addicted to Amazon. We'll all gather around for support but you should choose one sponsor who has the same addiction.

Group in Texas that keeps old war birds flying. I actually took a ride in their P51 a few years back and did the “simulated” strafing run on the air strip. Cool going that fast at a 45 degree angle then pulling up not far above the tarmac and going straight up at the other end.

Don’t think it had any ammo loaded though

They used to be called the Confederate Air Force and were located in Harlingen, TX. They changed the name to something more politically correct and relocated their home base in past few years.

I think @Neal confuses intervention with getting ice cream. He’s probably there right now. We might have to send @Joe Hogan in for an exfil.

Well, I'm done with Amazon, I'm the proud owner of a fixer upper Essex! I love the colors!

We survived day 1 of CPU at Newmar. Brain is on overload. Lots of systems to learn and details to follow. Spent the morning going through the details and looking at systems.
Did my CSI impression with my flash light looking for errors. Found some paint correction and clean up points.
otherwise coach is in pretty good shape.
More learning in the morning.

I stayed there over a long weekend while my Ventana was in the paint shop (getting a clear coat issue addressed) and really enjoyed it. Ground floor room with a view of the lake. Very pleasant.

Today we discovered another reason that we prefer CPU. Toilet is being removed and either repaired or replaced. Missing bearing in large awning, not installed when manufactured, so new bearing has to be installed or another awning pulled from line installed. These are no issue here at Nappanee but would be a struggle at most dealers.

next area to inspect is engine and mechanical. Happy to learn that side radiator fan is now powered by hydraulics rather than belt system. Much simpler.

Update on toilet, incorrect installation. Clamp incorrectly installed at factory. Easy fix

An EZ Fix at Napanee, but could have been a big mess for a Dealer to repair!
Thank goodness for "CPU"! I would only do "CPU" on any Newmar that I purchase!

Got the scoop on this Essex. He was cruising through a Walmart and caught an overhang. Oops

Well I know you can’t fit all of that in your coach, so I will follow behind you and pick up the droppings.

You don’t want a fine fir littering.

When do they turn off the water to the campground for the season?

 

[Neal]

It's off. Oct 30th was turned off. Your tech can fill water for you inside or there is a spigot on the far left of the building as you look at the front of it, about two bays in from the left.

When are you arriving?
