Today was one<\/strong> of those regular days with some twists. <\/p>\n

At the outset, I left early to go get the \u201cunfixed\u201d motorhome.  Yes they think they found a leak, no they can\u2019t fix it.  To explain, they found that it appears to leak at the \u201ccrimp end\u201d of one<\/strong> of the long hoses that runs from the compressor to the front<\/strong> of the vehicle.  Unfortunately most shops can only \u201creplace\u201d the hoses not rebuild them and to do that would require pulling a 36 ft.  length of hose that runs through the center of the framework.  Not an easy task to just pull it out and then the other end, how the hell<\/strong> would you get one<\/strong> back in?  Beyond that, no one<\/strong> makes hoses that long around here.  So the option is to take it to a specialist shop that can probably rebuild the end of the hose with out removal. <\/p>\n

With that I picked it up and brought it home<\/strong>, by way of the fairgrounds and there I got a free dump of the waste tanks.  I hadn\u2019t gotten that done when we got home<\/strong> so it was past time<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Once I got it home<\/strong> and backed in front<\/strong> of the barn, I was determined to also get on the nasty front<\/strong> and the rest of the coach that had not been washed since we got back either\u2026 if you remember I had some huge bug spots on the front<\/strong> from the recent trip<\/strong> and now, after all this time<\/strong> they were baked in\/on and would be a real pain to get off. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_3473\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only that but with all the \u201cmechanic\u201d work done on it I now have a really dingy greasy hand<\/strong> set of prints in numerous spots. <\/p>\n

I got out the power washer and some soap\/wax cleaner and proceeded to scrub it down.  I started on the front<\/strong> and got some of the big stuff rubbed off but it was going to take several trips over to get it off.  I made a trip<\/strong> around the unit getting what I could off and most of it was just some road grime that came off easy and the last wax job was still in tact as it was beading up pretty good in most spots but the areas where it got really greasy hands on it and all that were ground in and they were not coming out. <\/p>\n

\"P1010004a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is hard top get a picture of the grease spots but this one<\/strong> comes close to showing the darker areas that were \u201cgrease\u201d stained\u2026 I got about half of that off and still have a bunch to work on. At least the big bug spots are gone.<\/p>\n

I scrubbed until I couldn\u2019t do much more and decided to head in for lunch<\/strong> and a few errands.  One of them was to \u201ccheck<\/strong> my winning key\u201d sent to me by Barry Sanders Supercenter.  It claimed that I had won something, maybe, and I need<\/strong> to bring that key to check<\/strong> the lock box.  When we got there it was a zoo, and they were \u201cmass identifying\u201d customers.  By that I mean they wanted to fill out a full page of information<\/strong> (the sales manager called it an application?) before they would check<\/strong> to see if I had won.  My son having worked in a dealership jumped in and said that they didn\u2019t need<\/strong> all that, we just wanted to check<\/strong> for a winner and the sales manager then promptly said, \u201cI will show you the door<\/strong>\u201d in like, get the hell<\/strong> out!.    We left but I grabbed my \u201cwinning flyer\u201d to take along just as a reminder of \u2013 they all pull this scam and it is just to gather information<\/strong> or get people<\/strong> to show up so they can \u201chigh pressure<\/strong>\u201d you into a possible sale.  They would probably hound us to no end if we had filled out that paper and from all things we can find it is not totally legal for them to be doing that.  I am sure they have it figured out and fine tuned so they are protected but it is a problem<\/strong> that should be stopped. <\/p>\n

We went on to lunch<\/strong> after this little fiasco, and it wasn\u2019t too bad.  Not great as we just always pick the fast food places, cause<\/strong> we are cheap\u2026 ha!<\/p>\n

When I got home<\/strong> I was still a little miffed at the attitude of the Sales Manager so I sent an email<\/strong> to the local paper editor to check<\/strong> out the scam and also sent a complaint to Chrysler about the treatment we got at one<\/strong> of their dealerships.  I was totally surprised to get a response back in a few hours and this is what I got back.<\/p>\n

Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center with
your email.

Customer Service<\/strong> Representative
Chrysler Customer Assistance Center<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Now the complaint may have just been filed away, I don\u2019t know and I really don\u2019t care but a little search found that there are a lot of other people<\/strong> that are unhappy with this particular dealership.  They even had some complaint at the BBB so I would be very careful dealing with this group.  Sorry that Barry has his name on such a place<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Once I got the email<\/strong> sent off for complaint I went back to work on the washing and had no more success at getting the \u201cgrease\u201d stains rubbed out.  It will need<\/strong> a stronger hand<\/strong> or cleaner than I had.  It is cleaner and the big bugs are gone but the damn grease spots are now pretty bad. <\/p>\n

Oh and after work my DIL went by with the same \u201cwinner\u201d mailer and they had taken down the high pressure<\/strong> tables, (they had set up 4 or 5 extra sales tables and had brought in extra sales staff to run the pressure<\/strong> tactics) and were more than happy to just try her key without making her fill out a bunch of information<\/strong> on a sales sheet?  Wonder if word got around about the complaints?  Strange how it all changed?  oh well, it was interesting to play the hoax out for awhile, but being shown the door<\/strong> required a complaint.  They need<\/strong> to quit mailing out that crap try to be honest but how many car<\/strong> dealers, especially used car<\/strong> dealers do you trust?   Nuff said \u2013 WD0AJG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
