We're getting closer to moving on but still have some warranty issues to be worked out. After all the problems with the Discovery, we are a bit gun shy, especially when we learned the slide in the Latitude has a "service bulletin" issued on it. Lazy Days hadn't installed the kit (nor did they have one in stock). In the mean time, we cannot use the passenger side slide. Really makes it tough. Cannot get to the pantry, part of our closet, and some drawers. Our service advisor, Kim, has been great trying to get things finished and parts inhouse. We've been provided parking with electricity or full hook ups, except for one night. However it is all starting to wear on both of us.
When you buy a new coach, you expect things to work right from the get go, or at least in a reasonable time frame. We may be inspecting the Florida Lemon Law with this one. As John says, "what did we do to deserve this?"
Not much to report in the blog right now. Our days have been spent in the Lazy Days Service Pavillion awaiting the next step of service. Although we really just sit around, it seems we are more tired than when we sightsee or work around the house.
We have doctor appointments in Pensacola starting next week, although they may have to change depending on Lazy Days' ability to get us fixed and out of here.
Overall we really like the new coach. The floor plan (when both slides are operational) is quite open, It doesn't have a bunch or mirrors or fancy wood work, etc. but is just really comfortable and home like.
I found a new style of motor home window screen. It doesn't required any drilled holes or big climbing on a ladder. It has a metal piece sewed inside the two side seams with a rubber pull attached to the end and fits over the window frame of the side windows. Theoretically, you just unroll it across the wind shield. Theory aside, we tried to put it up last weekend and still needed to be on the ladder. I was unable to help much (hurt my knee again) so John was struglling with it. A lady dog walker saw him and offered help. They have the same screen and really like it. I think we will like it as soon as we get used to it.
Turns out of helper and her husband are the Presidents of the Fl. state WIT Club (Winnebago Itasca Travelers). We learned more about Wit and area really looking forward to our rally in Forest River, IA next summer.
Still planning to be in Cincinnati area for majority of the summer.
Just got a call from our service advisor and the slide parts are supposed to be here tomorrow. Don't know what time or if they will be able to start on it until Monday. But, as they say, Progress Is Progress!
Still haven't found a camera we like so still no pictures. Promise to get some soon.

Waiting and watching. B
