Rigbee needed help

 While we were in Maine, my cousin Todd (who's been in the business forever!) checked out my camper.  He showed me where the fiberglass had bubbled away under the windows on the "overhead" over the cab.  I took my camper up to Windsor, and they started to take it apart.  We all assumed (you know what that means!) that the rot was just under the windows.  Bad, but not horrific.

I got a phone call a couple of days later, telling me I had to come up and see what they found when they opened up the overhead.

OMG.  I was so shocked I didn't think to take pictures.  They did, but they're not great... still.  Thankfully, Winnebago builds their campers with an aluminum frame, not wood.  The roof and the front was fine, but the sides and bottom were toast.  Rotted through.  Unbelievably so.

So, instead of being a couple of grand, it was SEVERAL grand.  While they were at it, I decided "in for a penny, in for a pound" and had them pull the carpet and vinyl and replaced it all with new vinyl.  It will be so much easier to clean.  

The Rogue (Figure) needed new tires desperately, so I got those a couple of weeks ago.  When I picked up Rigbee, I was told the front tires are in dire need of replacing.  We have an appointment Friday to get those.  

Oh my goodness.  My checking account is very unhappy right now.

Pictures coming...
