Hi all
My wife and I are comming back to Scotsdale early next week to bring "the Texas Mickey" back home to B.C.
I can not stay overnight at the storage yard as they have DOGS
and alarms to contend with, so we are wondering if there is anyone in the area that has a sugestion as to where we may "camp out" while we do some CLEANING of the coach. Weather permitting, I would very much like to shampoo the carpet as the PO did not deal with the mouse issue properly and shampooing seems to be the nessesary solution. The coach is currently at the Dear Vally Storage yard in Scotsdale.
Any help in this matter would greatly appreciated.
Dan, who is looking forward to a little WARMTH !!

Well, If we get back home you can come over to Duncan but that is about 200 miles in the wrong direction. I am sure others here will come up with a better soulution.
By the way, the weather has been absolutly great.

Most of the Walmarts here are camper friendly. There's a big one in Tempe just S of Scottsdale at Elliot and I-10. Dear Valley is at the northern part of Scottsdale and I'm sure that there will be a Walmart closer that way.

Well, My Coach is about 28 with the rear bumper extension, and My driveway is about that long but my coach is there. You can park out front. You can use the guest room as well, as I figure after you shampoo all the mouse poo out of the carpets, you may not want to sleep in there that night...

I have a good long cord and a 20 A outlet you can jack into.

Kleen-A-Carpet has been cleaning my RV carpets for years. He is the MacDonalds of carpet cleaning. He works like a horse and does a fantastic job.

He has a mobile van that comes to you. He charges $20 to clean the carpets in our 36 foot SOB. I always give him $35 because I feel guilty that he works so hard for so little $$$.

His name is John Krier 480-507-5920

Good Luck

John Ruff

Oh, Dan, admit it, you just want the Compact fluorescent bulbs I told you about at two for a dollar. Teri probably wants more breadmakers. Can I join the party?

My bread-maker wants a sewing machine Laughing And baby, they're not cheap!

Maybe I can swing over in the evening sometime next week if work doesn't call.

It looks to be a little mini rally in my front yard is in the works. Please PM me if you plan to come.

Dan will be arriving monday evening, I think tuesday would be the best day. I plan to take the day off if I can...

Dan, If you are renting a carpet cleaner, maybe someone else here needs cleaning too, and can pony up some $$ to offset your cost?

I have wood floors...

Chris, I am thinking we may roll out of here Monday. John is working today to help things along, not a normal occurance here. I hate the climb at Superior from the west side going east. 2 lanes and someone always pulls in front of me in Superior. So, don't count on us. Our daughter has plans for us to be there Monday night. Wednesday is our 10th anniversary so I got to make something great happen.
