Right before we left home we realized that the awning was broken. A service man said it was the motor and gave us the part number. Enroute we made an appointment at Tom's RV Service in Albuquerque to get it fixed. They special ordered the part for us and worked us into their very busy schedule.
On Monday as we tried to leave the Manzano State Park our retracting steps stopped retracting! With a few, well really a lot, of swear words, John disconnected the power to the steps and wired them up so we could drive. When we got to Albuquerque, John went by Tom's to check that the awning part had arrived and asked if they could also fix the step.
We left Tom's this morning with working steps and awning and a fixed hood release that we thought was unfixable. The owner and his wife were very kind and polite, the serviceman did a great job and the fix on the hood release was a 'gift' from him as we didn't even ask about fixing that. John was very pleased with the work and the service we received.
Our luck held out as we got the last walk-in site at Hyde Memorial State Park just outside of Santa Fe up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. During our late afternoon walk we met a very nice man on the trail who talked our ears off for almost 45 minutes! I bet we see him again!
