Repair repair and more repair

Well after we finely left Elkhart Indiana, we were heading to Dubuque Iowa to have our two front seats reupholstered at Flexsteel. On the way there we stopped at a Flying J to get a few hours sleep. We turned on the propane because it was very cold and we needed to start our furnaces, after about 15 minutes running the propane gas leak detector sounded. We immediately turned off the propane and aired out the coach. We waited about an hour or so and tried it again, and the leak detector went off again.

We decided to pack up and head on to Flexsteel in Dubuque Iowa because they have 50 amp hookup for us to use at the building. It was too cold to be without heat and when we finely arrived at the Flexsteel factory in Dubuque at about 1:00 in the morning, we got our electric hooked up and turned on our two portable electric heaters. We slept most of the next day, and had to wait until Monday to check in at the factory. By Monday Joe, who had not felt well for a couple of days, finely said he needed to go to the hospital. Turns out , he has pneumonia and spent the next couple of days in bed and taking his antibiotic.

Well, I found out that repairs go on, even if Joe is sick, so I got busy coordinating with Four Winds warranty service to see about getting our propane leak checked out. I also had to check in with the Flexsteel people to make sure they are working on our seat covers. I found the RV repair place a few miles up the road, and drove over there to make sure that they could look at our propane issue as soon as Flexsteel finished our seats. Gee, I miss Joe!!

So Thursday morning we were done at Flexsteel, I had taken Joe back over to the doctor's for a recheck to make sure the Levoquin was working, and we headed over to Coulter Valley RV to have our propane issue checked out. The only thing they found was that the front furnace was cycling off and on because it was getting excessively hot, they recommended having another heat duct put in the front of the coach to relieve some of the heat from the furnace. But, no leak of propane gas was found.

Looks like we are finely heading to Missouri.........but we should have known it would not be that easy. It started raining after about 1 hour of driving and our windshield wipers started the same thing they were doing before the visit to Camp Mandalay in September for our service appointment. They adjusted the wipers at the factory service, but maybe they should have done more than adjust, because the wipers are worse now. The driver's wiper only goes half way across the driver's side then it flies off the window and goes airborn !!! This wiper slaps back on the window and hops across to the middle, and then repeats. Then as the rain got worse, the wipers got worse, and slowed down to a crawl. So, I am on the phone with the factory warranty department trying to find someplace to get them looked at and Joe is driving about 35 on the highway with the emergency flashers on, trying to get to the Flying J about 5 miles up the road. Wow isn't this fun !!

Finely we found the flying J and parked for a few hours, still trying to find a place to get the windshield wipers repaired. The rain finely stopped and we decided to head out and try to make it the rest of the way to Camdenton MO, we were in St Louis area, so we were not to far away.
We will work on trying to find a place in or near Springfield, that is only about 85 miles from Camdenton and the campground where we will be staying for the next couple of weeks.
