• Hi all!

    From Carol@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 28 23:28:26 2025
    I got busy with some things at home and couldn't catch up but now I'm
    back.

    Where are we or what are we looking for?

    Stuck at home, unfortunately. Shop just told me it's 6-8 weeks before
    they can get part for the RV. Don't know how long for the damaged
    Bronco. Very frustrating trying to get this stuff repaired.

    So...did you get your RVing plans figured out yet?

    You have my condolences as a fellow victim of Creeping Enshittification.

    I was relieved to hear since this is considered and "Act of God" they
    don't raise your insurance rates. Hoping it's the same for the Bronco.
    BTW, will cost about 8-10K for the View so far, and I think around $30K
    for the Bronco.

    I know the feeling. I’ve been waiting on some parts for over two months.
    The saying used to be it’s on a slow boat from China but even Chinesium
    crap gets here faster than that now days.

    It's hard to figure out. They charge a fortune for the damn parts, you
    think they'd be eager to make additional parts for repairs when they do
    the runs?? Sucks being at their mercy.

    Sorry about that. What was the RV part? Bronco I thought only had a
    problem resolved with the trickle solar but then some error lights?

    Naw, real life came up. Don has to have hernia surgery. All else put
    on the side for that then my cataract surgery.

    Meantime, I had fun plotting out making a minimal spice packet.

    See the post on 4/18/25 Perfect trip...Bad ending

    That was for the View. The little panel I got works perfectly and
    totally resolved the issue of the Mercedes electronics killing the battery.

    Oh well, just keep on planning. My MIL had the surgery on one eye
    today, and the other in two weeks. Super easy and no problems.
