Is there anyone close to Pittsfield, Illinois (West Central Illinois)?

Sure could use assistance in figuring out and correcting some electrical issues with engine battery/house battery.

I think I bought into a hornets nest on this one!!!!!

It’s not my place to volunteer them but a good Sparky and mechanic in N. Indiana is Ken Burton and a good all round mechanic (but not a confessed Soarky) is Bob Dunahugh in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
You might look them up on the Blacklist
and give them a call or personal e mail.
Hope this helps,

P S Don’t get discouraged as it will all be worth the effort when you get to use her for road trips, rallies, conventions, etc.

Mike,

Unfortunately, Ken already considered this, and the sojourn would be 300 miles.

Now, if Sam wanted to make arrangements and then drive the 300miles, Ken could probably unscramble this in a heartbeat. Calling him on the phone can be a problem too as he does not hear very well.

Another choice, if Sam feels the coach will make it, would be to show up at Mansfield during the Fall GMCMI convention.

Bob Stone is in Carbondale. Might be the closest. He is not a smartphone/ computer guy but should be on Blacklist. Illinois being long state puts you 290 mile from me.
