Who proposes to do what to their coach at the Bean Station soiree?
I shall try to:
Electrify the choke on the heathen Chinee genset
Correct the remote start wiring on same
Get my vacuum pump correctly wired.
Figure out why it wants to go down the road on a slant -levelling valve?

I was just typing up my wish list for used parts and saw your work proposal...
First time attendee, hope to:
1. Front wheel bearings refresh. No problems indicated, just last recorded service by PO nearly 15 years ago
2. Alignment (six wheel) I bought an 8ton hydraulic ramjack thing Harbor Freight to use on rear if hive agrees worth bringing
3. Rebuild or swap my noisy bearing alternator for a used or new one that does not make noise
4. Make 13.5 front AC fan motor not lock up
5. Make the ratchet mechanism on my awning cooperate to return from full extension.
So, for my wish list.
If anyone can bring for barter, gift or purchase any of these items, please PM me and we'll talk further:
Original Duotherm 13.5 AC blower motor (or whole carcass for me to pull or Frankenstein two into one)
Front suspension relay arm, pitman arm and ready to go steering box
A kitchen countertop, maybe original but still in good shape?
80 amp alternator. 100 amp would be OK, but then I would need to up some wires
A vent fan to replace my original roof.
A bathroom vent fan that works (my storage pod I think will require original round small)
An original 35 gallon fresh water tank. My system works, but is a 19 gallon tank replacement
A decent 16.5 tire that I can use as a spare (I have six 3 year old TransForce currently)
A set of 16 inch steel or aluminum wheels are really in the dream zone but if the right opportunity...
Probably think of more later, but wheel bearings and alignment are really my main two that will benefit from extra knowledge and hands. Looking forward to it!

And I was just hoping to make it there and back with no mechanical failures, unlike last time. Still not a member of the Dixielanders yet, so I hope they will let me rent a space on the hill.

Fortune has not smiled upon us, Sam isn't feeling well. We have an appointment at the vet's this afternoon. I expect this will put me a day late to Bean Station, unless there is a serious problem in which case I'll have to stay home. Wednesday ain't looking good, Thursday on looks OK right now. Yall save me a place.

Vet said all the boy needed was his anal glands 'expressed' (not a job for the light of stomach) and to stay home and quiet for a few days. So I will appear Wednesday after all, but Sam will be at the house. See yall.
