The Eugene Curse

In our last post, we reprised our misfortunes in Eugene Oregon.  The scene of numerous troubles which bear no repetition here.

This visit started well.  We had a new solar panel installed at wonderful AM Solar in nearby Springfield.  Good, good.

Then we towed our trailer over the Sutton RV, the dealer that repaired our big slide a few months ago.  "The slide sticks during retraction now," we said.  "I'll have a look at it," in reply.

Short answer - bad.  The metal frame for the slide room that moves in and out is failing.  Metal cutting in on metal.  Matter of time before it will move in no longer, causing profanity and gnashing of teeth, both metal and bone.  "I've never seen anything like this in 23 years of working on RVs."  Small comfort.

Solution - likely another trip back to the factory in Kansas.  Our faithful reader will recall our prior trip there, escorted by numerous tornados.  Forgot about it?  See this post 

Service manager is exploring a local alternative, but we will not know till next week.

And so we sit in Eugene.  Two nights camped again behind a shopping mall, next to the beautiful Willamette River.  Then we will move to the local county park again, where we stayed during our last ill-fated visit.

We will try to enjoy the sights and events here in Eugene this weekend.  But we may take taxis.  No sense tempting fate.  And I think we are not welcome on the city buses.
