Kris had a problem with the right front landing gear. He had to repair this one in Key West about a year ago. Key West, amazing place! OOps, that is a story for another time. Lets keep on track here. Okay now, the cost of fixing the front landing gear the first time was just pennies since Kris is so knowledgeable. The landing gear simply wore out. However, when we were leaving my moms place after my surgery the same landing gear broke again. Kris noticed that it probably broke because he raised it to high and broke a pin he had replaced earlier. The morning we were leaving the RV park going to Jacksonville, FL. the same landing gear did not raise up. Kris found the motor to the landing gear had broken off the mount. He was able to get it remounted, but he thinks there is another problem so he will be taking it apart later when we get to Jacksonville, FL.
Having someone who can fix anything and fix it right saves time and dollars when you are on the road as much as we are. If not for Kris's knowledge and abilities the cost of one landing gear is at least $600 smackeroos!
I am not telling these things for anyone to fill sorry for us. I am saying that if you want to travel it will never, ever, be trial free. Keep your mind opened and cash reserve on hand for traveling. We love our lifestyle and we take all this in stride
