WE ARE BACK!!

After our bit of disappointment with no sewer hookup and another navy shower this morning, in 37 degree weather while unhooking our electric I looked up at the rear corner of the coach at the spot I kind of noticed last evening as the sun was going down, and oh my!  It looks like a scratch, damn!  I called Jan out to take a look and she agreed that it even looked like it had penetrated the paint.  Man, they must have accidentally bumped it with a ladder and we missed it.  So as we started moving I called to tell Lester we found a scratch in the paint, I didn't want them to think we had done it so we wanted to let them know as soon as possible.  Now one thing I neglected to mention yesterday was we had one little issue with the newly recovered seats, they used a bright white zipper in the armrests, that really stood out.  Robin the owner agreed with Jan that it needed to be redone with black or even brown zippers so they would disappear.  After we left, we realized we had taken the extra material and needed to stop back at Creative Coach today to drop off the fabric, and that would give Dan and Lester a chance to take a look at the scratch.

So off to M&M Electronics for our 9am appointment to have our multiplex system backed up.  Mark and Chris were waiting for us, and jumped right in and started up the computers and began backing up.  Then we asked if we could change around a few of the switches, and they said sure, so they changed a few minor annoyances.  But now I need to add a little background info.  All the awnings on our coach are electric, a few use a remote and the window awnings all are operated from a switch panel over the driver's seat.  When we bought the coach we noticed that there were several spare switches on a panel right near the bed.  We had asked Lazy Days, where we bought it if they could make the two bedroom window awning work from that switch panel, it would be so cool to be able to raise and lower those awnings from the bed instead of going all the way to the front of the coach, but they said no it couldn't be done, something about the awnings on one loop and those switches on another.  Then later one time we were getting service done at Alliance Coach, we asked them if they could make it happen, and they said no and started talking about the different loops etc and so on.  So today, since M&M are considered the absolute gurus of this system, we asked if they could make the bedroom window awnings work from the switch panel near the bed and they said...........YES!  And they made it happen, so now we can operate those awnings right from the bed!  We are ecstatic.  

So after lunch we headed back down to Creative Coach, pulled in and Dan met us and asked where was the problem.  I pointed up at the scratch and he said he would get a ladder and see if it could be buffed out or what would need to be done.  Well, while I was getting the truck unhooked, and now Lester, Dan, and Jan are all around the ladder, I come over and Dan says do you want to go up the ladder and take a look, so I do, and what do I see, NOTHING!  It wasn't scratch at all, must have been dust or dirt or who knows what.  Well don't they all get a big laugh, I feel awful accusing them of scratching the coach, but in the end we were ALL happy.  So now we are back in Venice, the coach is looking awesome, we have water and sewer, all the work is done, the awnings work from the bed, the bourbon is great, and we are happy, happy.
