Things that Broke this Week (Issue #1)

I hope this doesn't actually become a weekly report, but I'm afraid its looking that way.

Week 1 problems:

• Tire Blowout - see here


• The light fixture glass in the ceiling over the drivers seat fell out while bounding down rough roads.  Nearly knocked me out.


• Broke another rear-end skid wheel.  I had to replace one before we even left on our trip.  But they're doing their job.


• On another rough road, a bottom drawer under the stove slid out, threw the pots and pans across the floor and busted off it's rails.  That took a little work to repair.  Fortunately I have most of my garage stored in the bins below this coach so I had all the tools and parts I needed (OK, basically duct tape).


• One evening water came flowing out from under the kitchen cabinets while Tina was washing up.  There's no easy access under the sink so I had to wedge my arm through a hole at the bottom of the cabinets and feel around all the pipes to find the leak.  Fortunately it was just the large nut on the P-trap that I could tighten by hand.
