Oct 4-9: La Pine, OR: Repairs on motorhome

We have spent about 5 days in La Pine which is about 20 miles south of Bend and have not done any sightseeing the whole time. We know that the Bend area is beautiful and there is much to see. We put aside this time to have work done on the motorhome.

As I mentioned in a previous blog, n Monday Dave Root's Glass Repair showed up to fix most of our windows that had fogged up inside the double pane. We know this is a common problem but did not expect to have to deal with almost all windows. We had the option to replace these windows but the cost for this over twice as much as having them resealed. So all day Monday Dave took out all the windows in the living room area first, resealed them and then reinstalled them. The temp outside was in the 40's. Very cold inside. Bailey and I were able to go to the bedroom area and shut door while he did the living room area. Barb was in the laundry room, which was also unheated. Then when he did the bedroom, we moved to the living room. It took him the entire day. We now can see outside. What a pleasure !

Then we had a repair person out to work on the water heater, slide out replace lights to LED's, etc. He was here almost two days. The biggest job was the slide out which was not coming in evenly and left a gap. To fix it, he had to get under the bed and rebolt all of the slide mechanisms. Never before has our motorhome been in such disarray with all of the bed stuff, mattress included sitting in the living room.

Yup, that is the mechanism under our bed that was installed crooked and was causing slide to come in at an angle. It finally pulled away from several of the bolts. Had to drill new holes and screws. But it is right now.


And that is our mattress, bottom of bed, drawers, etc. in our living room.

The good news is that everything work correctly now.

Love and hugs,
Linda and Barb
