La Mesa RV Repairs

Wow - it's been awhile since I posted. Seems we been doing so much running around, I have been to tired at night to update.

We spent time at Diamond J RV Park waiting on the windows and other parts to come in at La Mesa RV. We met some others Tiffin owners, Jim and Carol, Marilyn and Ray and Kenny and Roselle. We went out to the Casino with Marilyn,Ray,Kenny and Roselle. We had a great time over Mexican food.

Art and I decided to try to hike some trails in the desert to find a Saguaro cacti that has 58+arms/extensions. Our neighbors,Dick and Gaylene had hike the trail and said it was a doable 2 1/2 round trip hike. Well we had 2 set of instructions, one verbal and one on a "map"- well we decided to try the map and guess what. I thought sure I was going to die in the desert and Art had walked off into the mountains as he mentioned he was going to do many time. It ended up being a 5 hour round trip and we never did see the Saguaro cacti, but we did see some awesome sites and the whole hike was great. I paid for it the next few days but it just goes to show how out of shape I am. Check out these photos.

We noticed that one of our rear tag tires was not holding air pressure. So a call to Good Sam for tire repair replace here in Tucson. We found 'Phil's Fleet Tire Service", a really nice family owned tire repair service. He found that one of the valve extenders was leaking and fixed it quickly. He also noticed that 2 of our rear tires were mounted backwards and that could cause "cupping". He reversed them and the charge was very reasonable. Art talked to him about ordering him some "extenders" for his air pressure hose so Art can fill them easier. He would have them for us next week.


Thursday saw us at La Mesa RV for all our work to be started. Bright and early 8am we were at La Mesa. We spent the day with breakfast at Denny's. I love the new look of the Denny's here in Tucson. We then just went shopping. Our new windows were installed and they look awesome. We have 10 new windows. This is the first time we have been able to look out our windows with looking thru fog and humidity. The DA Bus looks grand. We spent the night on the parking lot and Friday saw more work to be done. The insurance settlement on the body damage was settled and the coach went to the painters. The repair and repainting is beyond words. Truly an outstanding job. However, all the work couldn't get done by the end of the day. La Mesa RV offered to let us stay on the lot over the weekend.

We also got rid of the Euro Chair and foot rest. SOLD it on Craig's list in one day. It just was way to big for the space and it wasn't comfortable for us. We want to replace it with a smaller type of chair.
