Not long after we bought our motorhome back in June 2004, I wrote about what a great deal we found and because of that, we would be willing to spend whatever was necessary to cover repairs that might come along. After we brought our motorhome to Shelton we replaced the radiator, all hoses, the fan clutch and all the belts costing nearly $2,500. Recently, while in Seguin, TX we had to have a complete tune-up replacing plugs, plug wires, distributor cap; got a lube oil and filter and a new rotor and also repaired one jack that refused to come down. That came to nearly $800 and I wrote about how happy we were with the results in the blog. Well, two weeks ago in Oklahoma City, OK we were in the shop again. This time we had to replace the alternator to the tune of almost $500. In all three instances, our motorhome never quit … she just kept going and got us where we needed to go to have repairs done. We’ve been very fortunate to find qualified and honest mechanics each time and we’ve been given top priority that has put us back on the road in no time. We can add “Big O” who owns “Brakes Etc.” in OK City to our list of A-1 mechanics we’ve found in our times of need. In less than a year, we have spent $3,800 without complaint. Our new home continues to be a safe and comfortable place to live and we remain thankful for every day we can enjoy our new lifestyle.
