I have all of my ducks in a row to drive my new 23 footer out of Bay Center Washington for the 197 mile drive to my home in Stanwood. Oil, filter, belts, carb is rebuilt, bought new slave cylinders, new master cylinder, bought my fuel cell and got it all assembled, and have all of my jack stands, generator, air compressor, and half of the rest of my tools ready to go down and recover this coach. Took next Monday off of work because Les Schwab is not open on Sunday and I have an appointment at 8am at the Les Schwab in Aberdeen to have 6 new tires mounted. Jim Hupy was unable (understandably) to get me a pressure bleeder in time for the weekend..... but I need one. Every time I drive my truck down there and back it's costing me $100 in fuel and I needed to make 2 trips down and back this weekend.

I told the owner I should be able to drive it away on Monday.... It would be no problem to leave it there another week, but the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend with no rain, and they are predicting very little to no wildfire smoke. If I don't go down, I will also have to cancel my appointment at Les Schwab. I really want to get this done while the weather is holding out.

If someone local has a pressure bleeder I could borrow, or even purchase... I would love to hear from you and will give you the full price of a new one including what you paid for shipping.

I was going to hit the road @ 5am this Saturday, work on the coach, drive back home Saturday evening, and then head back down with my wife on Sunday, work on the coach all day, spend the night in a motel in Raymond and get the tires mounted Monday morning and head home. If there's someone anywhere on the I-5 corridor, I am happy to detour.

Thanks, Jared
