After leaving Shepherdsville Kentucky we stopped in Indianapolis and Elkhart Indiana. We had an appointment at EQ Systems to replace the reversing contactor. I had been working with their support team by email for two weeks, and decided to have them do the repair since it would cost the same for them to expedite the part to me to replace. We arrived at the service center at 7am and was on our way by 9:30. EQ has great tech support and service.
We arrived at the Mothership on the Saturday before our scheduled appointment so we had enough time to pack our clothes and essentials and move over to the “Country Cottage” for the two weeks the coach would be getting repaired.
Bright and early on Monday morning (6AM) our Newmar Technician, Tracy, was at the coach ready to take in into the service center and start the repairs.
Here’s a list of what was completed in the two weeks:
- Repair loose cap molding at rear driver’s side.
- Removed old trim, resecure sidewall and rear cap to aluminum framing with adhesive, and added screws. Reinstalled transition trim and paint.
- Remove and resecure rear driver’s side gutter rail
- Remove screw cover, putty and sealant. Install new screws, reinstall screw cover, and reseal top of drip rail
- Repair loose cap molding at front driver’s side.
- Removed old trim, resecure sidewall and rear cap to aluminum framing with adhesive, and added screws. Reinstalled transition trim and paint.
- Inspect rear passenger side cap molding. (only corner never repaired)
- Inspected and found in good condition.
- Replace patio awning.
- New awning has LED strip lighting.
- Remove and replace all roof sealant and roof tape.
- Replace 2 weathered plumbing roof vent caps

The Country Cottage was a nice house, but there’s no place like home, so we are glad to be back living in the coach.
Until next time,
Safe travels
