Things are looking up this morning no rain, drizzle or snow this morning. Diane made us a good breakfast of scrapple and eggs. The sun came out and the day was looking good for traveling. I figured after breakfast I would call the hitch guy to see when we could pick up the car and finally get out of here. 10:30 or so I call. Seems they have problem! 😕 I jump in the junker(loaner) and driver over. He talks I listen he shows me some pictures, and blah, blah, blah etc. The turn signals don't work if the lights are on in the Moho 😖. We talked for a while, he called Roadmaster, and they are all working together to fix it. He will call when it is done.
I made good use of the trip and went over to Lazydays and picked up a handle for the tv antenna crank. I broke ours putting the antenna up when we got here (right after harassing Diane that she was going to break it, aw 💩)
Back to the Moho. The look on Diane's face when I pulled back in still driving the "loaner"😢. We sat in the Moho waiting for the phone to ring, it didn't. I go back over to hitch place; they are still working on the problem. We decided if they couldn't fix it by Saturday morning we would drive the loaner down to Nappanee anyway. Then come back next week for the car. I get home, tell Diane the plan and she reluctantly walks up to the office to pay for another night, it was a long night!

The time has come. We are leaving, heading to Newmar Service Center in Nappanee. I was to have the Moho at the hitch place by 9am. But as our luck goes the antenna is froze and will not turn or lower. I go to get the ladder that was strapped to the Moho. Guess what, I needed the step stool to reach the tie down straps.... stool is in the car. So, hanging on with one hand and one foot on the Moho ladder, I get the straps loose, remove the ladder, get a wrench, climb up and turn the antenna with Diane helping from inside. Then put it all away. 💩 We eventually get packed and ready to roll. I started the Moho disconnected the electric. When I come in the refrigerator alarm is going off lights flashing. Diane checks the inverter discovers it is not working. Turned it off back on same thing alarm on refrigerator starts up again. By now the hitch guy calls wants to know when we are coming over. Turn the inverter off and pulled out. Phew!
Over to the hitch place drop off the Moho, load up the car(loaner), gather up Rudy and proceed to kill some time. We are walking around a new store when Diane gets a text. Seems the guys have been calling me, but I didn't have my phone.... the car and Moho were ready😁😁. We run back, first was a few questions about accessories he wanted to sell us, then a tutorial on the system, then Diane had a try hooking it up, then we went over car set up, and then we were finally done. Pull out swap out loaner for our car pay the bill and we were rolling.
Diane stopped for groceries and wine. Rudy and I drove straight to Newmar. We parked and had the Moho organized by the time Diane arrived. We sat and reveled in the accomplishment of the day.

Woke up this morning to about an inch of snow. ❄ A brief reprieve before the big day tomorrow. According to the instruction the service rep will be out around 6:30 (AM)!!! to get the coach. WOW! We are planning to get a hotel tomorrow night and Tuesday night if needed.
On a brighter note. Diane lost her nightstand cell phone cord holder on our way traveling out here. We searched around, under and in the bed couldn't find it. You know the feeling, where could it possibly be. All the cupboards, closets and storage areas we could find were searched. We just gave up. Today I put on my boots to go clean snow and..... inside my boot I found it. Apparently, it fell off the nightstand and into my boot when we were traveling, and I put the boots in my closet when we parked. We laughed and laughed!!😂😁
Now we are waiting/planning on the big day tomorrow. Homemade meat loaf for dinner. Yum! and off to bed.
