Since there haven't been anything "new" about this motor home, I thought I'd let you know what has happened.
First, and most important for the person that owns this motor home, is he is going through something of a crisis, and rehabbing this motor home is probably the last thing he's thinking about.
Second, while less important for him, I have relocated all the way across the country, and gone to work for another RV shop on the East coast. That makes it tough to post updates about it...(duh)...
So, while there are still plans in place to perform the work on this unit, it has at least for the time being, been not only put on the back burner, the burner has been turned off.
I hope the next service manager at the shop I worked will pick up where I left off, and continue posting updates about it. I do know they know about this forum and this thread.
