So I begged for an inspection on the thread.. no response, Soo I begged DOORGUNNER in pm, (yes mom I met him before at the NorCal cult rally
)
Tim graciously responded yes.
And he showed up! YES!
After a full day of touring my trailer and performing some great feats, there are not enough words to describe my appreciation for Tim's ability to translate his experience and expertise to level I could understand without telling me I'm an idiot
. The cross references of experience in military, airplanes, and boating creates quite a huge high quality diamond.
I needed to know what I had from an honest objective observer. DOORGUNNER most definitely filled the post.
I learned some issues are not as bad as I thought, and some issues I did not know about were worse than I did not know about
But most important, I can move in soon, and someday a can move it again to go camping someday(projection/plan 15 mos).
One of the many biggest living in issues was the door would not lock and close. First closing, yeah she was level but not correctly, restabilizing closes door and saves warping frame, (THANK YOU TIM) and he multitasked in a rivet removal lesson too!
Lock easy buy for 265.00 not incl tax, ship, handling or Wonder fingers Tim, an additional screw and lots of liquid wrench and my old lock works, I can sleep in it safely and actually lock items in the trailer. Priceless. (ooh yes I had to rewrite that one)
I now have a good idea of what its worth (NO its not for sale, and Tim would get first dibs anyway), what its equipped with, what I need to do to move in, what I need to do to go camping with it, what some options are to look into for a more cost effective way to handle some issues on a limited income.
Again words cannot express my gratitude for the detailed orientation and work done by Tim, I now know what I can and can't touch and I can read the manual. And yes I know pictures w/qs.. and save everything I remove.
A Great Inspection is invaluable from the right person, again I'm greatful I got the right person to succumb to my begging!!!
Thank you DOORGUNNER
