  1. Good-Morning all, Wanted to give an update. First thanks Scotty for checking my account and I am now able to sign on. After fiddling with the door handle it finally allowed me to leave the coach. I knew that the door needed an adjustment but I waited a day too long to do it or have it done. Dan’s RV Mobile repair arrived to attach a couple of other problems but went straight to work on the door. He did show me that you don’t have to take as many screws as you would think. He didn’t take any out of the windows or the side of the door. He took off the panel that covers the handle and the pull handle and the dead bolt lock, also the catch for the screen door to latch to the main door. He then reached into the opening and worked carefully the white door cover out of the frame of the door side and worked that way. A little tight but enough room and he had large fingers. He adjusted the rods and now it works better than it ever has. i barely have to pull the handle and the door unlatched. Hurrah! He then tackled the next problem which was a major air leak. He did brace the front of the coach before going under. After a few minutes it was confirmed that the ride height valve was the problem. He removed it and will be back this morning (if he can get the part) to replace it. My over the table window day/night shade had broken and I had removed the surround and was taking it apart when he came in to wash his hands and saw it laying on the sofa. As usual, one should always look for the easy solution. Seems all that had happened was the little clear plastic part that keeps the tension had broken. Replaced that and put the window back up, tightened it all and it works also, just the way intended. Good thing too as it got right chilly last night and it keeps the coach a bit warmer when that is closed. Next he went to my topper awning over the bedroom slide to replace the spring that I had already purchased from Talon. After getting the cover off and the acorns and one dead piece of oak tree out the awning just rolled up as neat as can be. Another time where the cover just needed cleaning out and everything worked as designed. I also have the Howard Power Steering that I’ve not been able to use due to a cylinder leak. He is going to remove it and bring it to a cylinder repair place to see if it can be repaired. I hope so as I really like the security and control. I have installed Watts Links on front and back as well as a cross bar in the back and tightened my TRW steer box (as far as it can go I’m told) and it has become a dream to drive. Dan must do a lot of the repairs at Mt Olive Shores South as people kept coming by to say hi and wish him a happy new year. He is in the process of moving to Polk City so will be even closer and I already have his number on my speed dial. I can’t thank you guys enough for your help and Tom Cherry for posting my email to him when I couldn’t get on. I received many phone calls that were very helpful and I think all you that called too. Even had a long talk with Jeff that also has an 03 Camelot and we discussed changes that we had both made. I’m sure we will be in contact again comparing notes. Again thanks for being there and hope to see you down the road. JJ 03 Camelot 00 Honda Odyssey that was rear ended the day before travel south that is waiting to get OK from insurance to be repaired.
