SEPTEMBER 1,
2015, TUESDAY; LAST FULL MONTH in CHILLIWACK!
I
am off today! We have 4 more weeks of
work then our plans are to go back up to our lot in the Shuswap in early
October, close the place down, return to Chwk for Thanks-Giving then south to
the USA and Mexico around the 16th October providing all goes well!
Val
was supposed to be off today but was called in for work. The rain has abated this morning but came
back in full force in the afternoon. I
worked around the motorhome doing a few more repair chores.
SEPT 2,
WEDNESDAY; Motorhome to the shop
What
a day and I have been vindicated on the A/C saga!!! We woke up at 6 am to blue sky and we even
had a nice sunrise. We got our home to
move and were at O’CONNOR RV by 8 am. We
went for breakfast in one of Chilliwack’s best restaurant for breakfast then
onwards to Safeway for some shopping.
Val had to be at work by noon but we had time to get the windshield on
the Santa Fe repaired. It had two small
chip that we got fixed. Val went to work
at noon and I carried on doing a few business run-around.
Here
is the story of my vindication! I went
to O’Connor to get something from the BEAVER and met the Technician working on
our home. We got talking and I mentioned
the front A/C. He opened it up and said
that all it needed was a switch to be turned on and he proceeded to do just
that. Hold and behold, the furnace came
on the thermostat control and it worked fine!
I told him about the noise in the A/C and he suggested that I go get the
new A/C from MTNVIEW and ask them if they would pay which is what I did. I told MTNVIEW that he didn’t need to get a
new control box as the one already in place was working fine. He went on and on about his distributor
misleading him. I cut him off and made
the offer from O’CONNOR which he readily accepted so I pick up the new A/C and
went back to O’CONNOR. When I got there,
the Tech had already opened up the A/C and found that the wires had been shoved
above the control box and were squeezing the cooler and that was what made the
vibration and noise. It is now working
fine and MTNVIEW is out $200 for the repairs and stuck with a new A/C. I am sure he won’t have a hard time to sell
it! And they (Don the owner and Ted is
top Tech) claimed to have 30 years’ service between them!? I think he needs to learn to listen to his
customer more and sent that Ted back to school.
I also believe that they had no clue what they were doing when they
changed that A/C back in early July. Two
months wasted and full of frustration for nothing but I feel vindicated!
