Re: [A/S] Weekend trip
I have made reservation for Harpers Ferry! I am counting on my furnace working
by then.
Today I tried to order parts, but three RV/Suburban dealers/service centers
said forget it.
I may not need new parts anyway. I think my problem may be very simple. From
what a few service guys have told me, it sounds like my burner is loadd up with
crap. I haven't removed it to clean, but if the bottom of the combustion chamber
is any indication, it must be pretty bad too! The erratic flame is indicative
if a blockage..I guess. It's the only thing I haven't done.
I ordered a new thermostat!
Here's more terrific news.
Today I called Walter of Wabash, because one my gaucho slides was loose, and
the slide block inside came loose. I tried to order a new one, but they wouldn't
do that. The woman on the phone seemed quite surprised that the slide wasn't
for a table!
Instead, they said that Walter stands by their products, and warranteed them
for....LIFE!!!!
Yes. all I have to do is send it to them, and they will rebuild it for free!
I just have to ship it there! How 'bout that! Three cheers for WoW!
Things are looking up! I have been working on this thing quite regularly, a
little at a time. All the small jobs that I had been putting off. It's a shame
the winter is coming, but with a furnace..I can spend many winter days tinkering
about!
Thanks Matt..for offering a heater..I will take you up on that..I'm just hoping
I don't have to.
