Hi Everyone:

Today, took the Suncruiser to Valley Auto & RV Repair (in Surrey, BC) to have the brakes (caliper) repair done. While as you know, this is part of the Workhorse campaign 51101-C, I did have to pay $89.39
The explanation was that while the work is covered by Workhorse; the shop recommends the fluid flushing of the brakes at the same time - and this is not covered.

In addition, the person who drove the motohome into the garage heard a misfire - and checked this out. Cylinder 5 ignition wire was burnt.
They did the install of the Enhanced Ventilation Kit today as well.

Glad all this is done as we are off to Long Beach CA in two weeks

regards, pdq

pdq, Congratulations and have a good trip. You got out the door for less money than I paid. I went home and flushed my system using my Oemy's Super Speed Bleeders.

Don't forget to check your air pressures. Have a safe trip!

It is nice to see a shop that is on the "ball" and can actually "think".

Gary,

I'm glad you included the where as well as your cost. Also good to see a pro-active shop that picked up the bad plug wire. Lots of folks post good and bad experiences and leave out the where part. Thanks,

Bob
