September 14, 2007 at 10:30 AM we arrived at Giant Recreation World in Winter Garden Florida to pick up our new RV ... a 2008 Grand Junction 37QSL 5th wheel. Following a lengthy punch list, we left at 6 PM on our first call to our Leesburg home.
September 15, 2007 6:30 AM we put Roger Ramjet to the test and hauled the RV to Fort Lauderdale. After a close shave with the clubhouse wall, we were at lot seven block seven Sunshine Holiday RV.
September 21, 2007 at 4 PM we moved into the RV. Randy came over and we drank wine beer and scotch on the patio it was a good drunk fest. LOL
September 22, 2007 let the troubleshooting begin. Giant did dubious prep work and our salesman Tom McLain had been suspiciously absent at our pick up. There was no hot water, so we showered at the pool, and phoned Giant the next day. The troubleshooting proved in effective, so Mark tried some ideas on his own and discover the hot water tank was closed at a valve hidden behind the under sink cabinet and the electrical cord was not plugged in. There were a few other minor things, such as the washer connection was only finger tight, so the first load what the bedroom carpet.
September 23, 2007 we are very comfortable here and have read many instruction manuals. The components are amazing, surroundsound, DVD, convection oven, gas oven, microwave oven etc. tomorrow, Mark goes back to work and I run the show.
September 27, 2007 our next adventure was running the clothes dryer. It ran and ran but no heat. I called giant and they tried to help but finally suggested I look up the manufacturer (Majestic) and call myself. Parts are on the way.
October 1, 2007 it's a new month with the same break-in period. This morning, there was no water. After switching our hose to another faucet, we had water again. When Mark came home from work, he discovered the water flow reducer had plugged up. That we can return to Giants store. Later that same day the living room AC quit. Mark checked the fuses and breakers but no luck. More phone calls for tomorrow. We were still comfortable with the rear air cranked.
October 2, 2007 Happy's fixed our AC, the trouble was a loose wire in the breaker panel $150 later. We enjoyed a swim and a beer and slept great. The king bed is comfy.
October 4, 2007 the dryer parts have arrived so Appliance Plus (Majestic) came to the RV to install it. The technician got lost inside the RV park, had a lousy attitude and refused the job because it would be difficult to get the appliance out of the closet. No effort was made. I called Giant to update them and they suggested I notify Majestic of the problem.
October 5, 2007 this morning, No water. Someone drove over the faucet hook up on the empty lot next door where our hose was connected since the 1st. Mark switched hoses back and we have water again.
October 15, 2007 all is well.
November 5, 2007 Mark fixed the dryer. The RV park is filling up and we are packed in here like sardines so we have decided to cancel our repair appointment in Orlando until later, maybe in the spring.
Lots of Bonjour around here but everyone is getting along. Shiloh and Maggie now have a fenced exercise pen under the fifth wheel hitch. They like it.
