I got the no motorhome blues


When I purchased my motorhome I admit I didn’t do any research and just assumed any RV repair place would work on it if I needed help. That turned out not to be the case, and it’s just my bad luck that the place I did finally find is fairly incompetent. They lack basic communication skills, are under-staffed, take forever to get anything done, and when I finally did get my rig back from them the first time it was actually worse, instead of better. With zero alternatives, I returned it to the repair shop where I was told a different person would be working on it. That was over two weeks ago, and as of this moment I haven’t heard a single word from them. No progress report of any kind, just silence. I’d call and complain but then what? Where do I take my motorhome if I piss them off? I’d call and ask them what’s going on, but frankly, I don’t want to be a nuisance to the only people who are willing to help me. I’m so powerless right now it’s not even funny.

All my plans are on hold, and while they are, my savings is slowly dwindling. My original plan was to be out of Woodburn by now, but instead I paid for another months rent. I’m still working hard and keeping a consistent schedule but it’s not enough, and it won’t be until I can set my plans in motion and start working toward that elusive “next level”. Still kind of stuck in limbo, making a tiny bit of progress but really just staying in the same spot, doing the same things, getting the same results. That might be acceptable if it weren’t for all the same negatives I have to keep dealing with as well. I’m not going to list them, just repeat that I need very badly to get out of the city I currently live in, and the motorhome is my ticket to that as well. Yes, I have a lot riding on it, so I’m trying not to be impatient or hurry anything along. It could be the end of me, or a chance at another beginning.

One good piece of related news; I finally received my National Parks and Recreational Lands Pass, which will apparently give me the “right” to boondock for free in certain off-the-grid type areas. They are limited, and not easy to find when you’re trying to accommodate for a 35 foot motorhome, but there are spaces out there just waiting for me to discover and exploit them.
