yesterday needing assistance with a couple of issues we stopped at Boerne RV .... their primary focus is repair and service, NOT sales .... I want to give them a positive endorsement as being a good place to do business .... as noted, we needed help with 2 issues .... first, the driver's side running light (which also serves as a parking light and turn signal) on our Sportchassis had gone out .... having a new one in the truck, I replaced the bulb ... it still didn't work .... as can be seen below, the bulb plugs into what I'm going to call an adapter socket, the plugs into the truck's wiring harness .... second, I needed a bottle of rubber seal treatment .... when we walked through the door a fellow called to us to come on in .... I told him what we needed ....he took us into there small store which happened to have exactly what I needed and was pressed $2 less than Amazon .... we then walked outside for him to take a look at our truck .... based on past experience, I sure didn't want to have to find a Freightliner facility .... my hope was he might know a local repair shop where I could take the truck to have it fixed .... as can be seen below, the bulb plugs into the adapter which plugs into the wiring harness .... I opened the hood, he removed the fitting shown below and then removed the bulb .... I heard him say, that's not where it should be ....he walked back into his shop and came back with a small, flat blade screwdriver .... he used it to move a metal contact and plugged the bulb back in ... I'm most happy to say, ALL'S WELL .... he wouldn't take any pay for fixing the socket .... neither the lady in the office and the fellow who did the work could have been any nicer .... we were literally in and out in less than 15 minutes .... we were impressed and pleased
today was our first windy one since coming to Medina Lake .... after a few days with temps in the 70's, the latest forecast for tonight's low to fall to 34 and it to only get up to 41 tomorrow .... looks like the shorts need to go back into the closet and jeans will once again become the order of the day .... further, after tomorrow we are in for a four day rainy/cold spell .... oh well, they also say 80 degree temps are on the way for the last of next week .... the outside of our truck is absolutely filthy .... misty mornings have soaked our campgrounds dirt roads .... driving over them has coated the truck with a serious layer of grime .... other than for looks, there is really no reason to clean it up .... no matter what we do now, she'll still be dirty when we get home .... can't help but wonder what gremlin will pop up next
