Vintage RVs for the rest of us...
Mechanics, UGH!
I get so tired of paying mechanics to fix things and they do a poor job. Our MH is back in the shop to get the starter replaced and new spark plug wires because the mechanic, in Omaha Nebraska, who replaced the starter did not put any of the heat shields back in place so the headers cooked the starter and the spark plug wires. Also, all the bolts on the right header were loose from not being tightened properly after removing it to replace the starter. Oh well, at least this breakdown happened close to my regular mechanic so I know everything will be fixed properly.

It was just timing, and not of my doing, that we broke down 7 miles from our mechanic in Pacific MO. They are so good that we drive from Gosnell, AR to take it to them for its annual physical, about 225 miles.
