Working toward a repair

Coach-Net checked back with us this morning and arranged with Henderson's for us to get in with them. (I think Coach-Net was so happy that we "limped" in rather than requiring them to provide a tow for us that they are giving us extra-special service, but maybe this is just normal.) Henderson's indicated that they are booked up this week, but if we could "limp" to their shop, they would work us in as they could.

This morning at the campground... she has got a definite lean.  :-(

We drove the 2.5 miles from the campground to Henderson's and are parked in a gravel lot just across from their shop. I think they indicated that we might be able to get hookups for the night, but... we're pretty good with being self-contained, so for now we're just staying on the gravel lot.

From the gravel lot we have a great view of their motorhome lift...

Neato!

Dwayne thinks we should get one of those for use at the farm. I noticed that it said 18,500 max on each of the stands... I am guessing that is axle weight. The weight on Miss Doozie's dual axle is almost 21,000 pounds, so it might not work for her...

Henderson's

Miss Doozie in the gravel lot. We have the jacks down so she is pretty level.

We took a walk to a couple of local stores and while we were gone they took some parts over to the shop to start looking at them - just doing diagnosis at this point.

Another view of the current state.

This is the wheel (in the back of the Jeep) - the stud holes are definitely "wallowed out" (I think that's the term Jimmy used).

While we're waiting for Henderson's to be able to do an analysis of what all needs to be fixed, I'm trying to work on the things that I know are going to need to be acquired (and which are hard to get). I've been working on getting a replacement wheel and tire today... I think I have gotten the tire ordered (it is supposed to be in on Thursday) and I think the wheel will be in on Friday. Henderson's will need to determine what else is required and whether they have the parts or if they will need to be ordered. Meanwhile... we're enjoying Grants Pass, or at least the sunny weather!
