Well guys, is &#036;400 regarded as minor or major?  Yep... that&#39;s what a new starter motor cost.  At least we are happy that it happened here in our hometown, there&#39;s nothing worse than being &quot;on the road&quot; and having to try and find a reputable RV repair specialist... or even an RV repair specialist at all.  So between that and the gas fill up we managed to lighten our wallets by &#036;700 in one hour&#33;&#33;  Back to the RV though - I must say even though we have a beautiful home, we LONG to be back in the RV traveling around the States, sightseeing.... maybe soon  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /><br /><br />Joey... that&#39;s what happens with an RV - it&#39;s got so many moving parts, not only the regular vehicle parts but also the &quot;house&quot; side of it, eg the slides etc.   Actually we&#39;ve booked the RV in to the shop on June 9th to have some of these things taken care of under our warranty.  If you think we did 16,000 miles traveling last year, some of those under &quot;hard&quot; travel circumstances in Canada and Alaska - we&#39;ve really pushed her.<br /><br />Karla... I&#39;m so sorry to hear about your FIL - hope he is on the mend now, I can imagine how worried your MIL must be.<br /><br />Andrea.... oh that&#39;s good you can take a break while the &quot;demolition derby&quot; is going on - I don&#39;t envy you all that dust and debris, been there and done that.  Hang in there girl&#33; <br /><br />Have a good evening everyone&#33;
