Service in Denver

[Ray Eklund]

I wanted to replace the ball on my hitch and did not have a large enough wrench to remove the nut and replace it. Of course, since I bought my AS at Windish, they would work with me. Wanted $50, the minimum service rate. What????

I rented a power washer and other items from a rental place in the past, next to UHaul off of I-470/County Line and figured they had a wrench that could do the job. They did. They took care of a customer and NO CHARGE.

Windish was all friendly when selling me the trailer. I guess that is where it ends. I was not asking for free, but for $50 I can buy a wrench and loan it out to other trailer owners... When I buy another new AS... I can get just as much appreciation from any dealer and pick the trailer up at Jackson Center, Ohio.

And... the finance guy. We paid cash for the trailer. He was pushing us to finance through Windish and "invest" our money for a better return. I think we have a better idea on how we invest our money.

BTW, they installed electricity in our building at Andersen's. So, I was able to leave the batteries in the trailer this year. Did they do your side yet?

For future reference, I winterize just by blowing out all the plumbing thoroughly and adding a bit of antifreeze in the sink and shower traps. If that is sufficient for you, you are welcome to back your trailer into our driveway next year and use my large compressor.

I ride my bike around town a lot and have discover several ,mostly vintage, Airstreams in out of the way yards.

Yes, they did our side with electricity as well. They seem like a pretty good facility in general. Thanks for the compressor offer!

Just bought our new 27FB from Windish. The salesman assured me that they had installed Pro Pride hitches before, but upon delivery and listening to the wrench who was doing the install, it was not only not true, but he went on at length as to why he thought the hitch was a very expensive piece of crap. The first day driving south w/ side winds gusting to almost 70mph proved him totally wrong. In addition, he overtightened two U bolts and bent them, which I had to repair myself on the road. Not good. On the other hand, there was a tech there who specialized in Airstreams and he did our walkthrough and was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful.
So all in all a mixed bag...which I think if fairly typical.

+1 on Anderson's Storage and the Andersons themselves...nice folks, and it's nice to have a dump onsite for the end of a trip or to de-winterize.

Do they have water at the dump site?

Yes, in fact I saw one of the tenants washing his TT near the dump area a week or so ago. I think that is also one of the perks.

There is one other plus for you, I am pretty sure the owner is originally from Texas. He is really friendly and helpful. I was down there once a year ago, and he was going around helping a few people winterize their RVs. He has a nice Pinzgauer. He likes to talk about that. Pretty neat vehicle.

If anyone in this area wants to see a installed ProPride 3P, let me know.
