Bes,

If you want to have it repaired by someone that KNOWS what they're doing contact Tom Hampton. I realize that his shop is 460 miles
from Elvaston but you've already spent over $400 chasing the leaks without fixing the problem money spent to get your GMC over to
his shop would be money well spent as he WILL fix it! Be advised, however, that Tom works by appointment only and it may take awhile
to get into his shop.

Here's the contact details:

Tom & Nina Hampton
Grandview Motorhomes
13880 West Weaver Road
Marysville, Ohio 43040
Tel: (937) 644-4238
Email: grandviewh@peoplepc.com

I have Cc'd Tom on this email to give him a heads up that you might be contacting him.

Regards,
Rob M.

Can Someone Please give me some Advice on what to do Next. Keep in Mind that I am too Old and Not Mechanically Inclined to Fix
Anything Myself. The Motorhome is Leaking Air. I have taken it to 2 Different Places trying to find the Leaks. Both Places said
the Air Bags are Not Leaking. One place told me there was a Very Small Leak in a Plastic Washer close to the Air Bag that didn't
amount to much which is on the Drivers side - the Other Place worked on it for a number of hours and said there were 5 Leaks alone
on the Drivers Side in the Fittings that they fixed but there was still another leak somewhere because in a 24 hour Period - it was
going down 1/2". After they fixed the leaks they found - it does ride higher and I believe drives a little better than it did. On
the way home, I left the switch on Auto instead of Hold and the compressor came on several times in 12 miles. I have had it home
10 days now - had the Switch on Hold - and still the back end is sinking. Th
e Drivers Side has dropped down 2 1/2" from the measurement I took after the compressor had the air bags full 10 days ago - the
Passenger Side is down 5 1/2". The last place that fixerd it said it would be quite expensive to take the whole system out and
replace it. I have already spent over $400 chasing Air Leaks. Does Anyone have Any Ideas what I should try next or should I just
leave it alone? I want to take a trip in a month or so and am trying to get the problems fixed in advance.
