I returned from K & C RV in Longmont (where the front A/C issues were being resolved) and made arrangements with Parker RV to get the hydraulic pump motor replaced at 1:30 PM.
I parked Alice along side Parker RV headed straight into the parking lot (small as it is). The mechanic wanted to reverse her position since the hydraulic compartment is on the passenger side which was right up against some bushes. He asked if I wanted to turn her around and I said "no way ... it's way too tight and they move motorhomes around in here all the time so I prefer that they do it". Good decision!?
He backed her out and while turning around in the neighboring parking area, he managed to snag the generator slide on a fire hydrant. Suddenly, there was the entire front fiberglass section literally ripped from the frame and sitting on the pavement. The fiberglass section is held on to a tubular frame by fiberglass fabric pieces which had broken.
He apoloigized several times. They believe they can get Alice fully operational again by Tomorrow (6/30) or Thursday (7/1). They can touch up the paint later after returning from North Carolina.
You really needed to have started this blog when you bought her so we could look back (and giggle) at her journey!!

I think the next saga will be when you discover that instead of your reported Diesel engine power - You will discover that your "powerful motha" is actually in reality a good olde fashioned 348 Chevy!!
