We've been having problems with our living room slide not coming in very fast and jerky at times. I always figured I would buy a new slide motor and install it while we were at CCRV. Another of those chores that never got started or finished.
Today was the day of reckoning for the slide motor. It gave up the ghost and for the longest time we couldn't get the slide in. After a number of tries we succeeded in bringing it in. Rather than take a chance on it breaking down while we were on the road, I called Lazydays RV and they had a motor in stock and could get us in. Off we went to Lazydays and got in line to have the slide motor replaced. They finished up around 2pm and we hit the road for Las Cruces. We did make an $800 contribution to the owners of Lazydays, but we were happy to have it repaired and on the road.
266 miles later we pulled into the Siesta RV Resort in Las Cruces. We always stop here when we are in the area and like the owners. They are a nice couple and always take good care of us. (UPDATE ... The man who owns the park told me this morning that his wife died April 14. She had an aneurysm and passed away in her sleep. No advance warning. She was 54 years old and looked very healthy and trim.) The other choice was a KOA or Hacienda RV Resort ( +$50/day ). Not sure of KOA prices but they are usually higher, so Siesta RV Resort was our choice.
