Howdy!

I wanted to pass on the info that we finally made it home late last night.
So about 1000 miles of driving in 2 days in a coach that had been sitting
for at least 10 years. We had to get new tires, all the way around, and to
be honest that was about all we needed. After spending the day with Ken, it
was evident the coach was surprisingly solid. We made it to Sullivan, MO and
that is when the alternator belt broke. With all the tips and tricks, I was
able to get it started and got the correct belts (my spares from AutoZone
were incorrect, lesson learned) and then had a shop pop them on real quick
as they could do it faster when we could. Each gas stop consisted of a
little oil, but that's it.

We finally got home at about 11:30pm. I wanted to say thanks to Ken, Bob, TJ
and everyone else who replied or called Ken etc. I REALLY appreciate the
support and help in getting this coast from IN to TX in a short time. Time
to start the list of updates and get the club memberships going, and then
get some trips planned.

Thanks again, and I appreciate everyone's help!
