Nice looking car, OC. I know you said 200 mikes on the tires, but how many miles on the car?

RB, how far is that pile of stones from where you want to build your cabin?

Big "shout out" to Bill Thomas Camper Sales in Wentzville, MO. We found out mid-week last week that several Windjammers got out of the factory earlier this year missing a spacer between the frame and the axles. Result: Only 1 to 1.5 inches of clearance between the tires and the top of the wheel wells, instead of the 3" or so of clearance that Dexter says it should have. Ours was one that needed to be fixed.

Called our dealer on Wednesday afternoon. They knew what it was all about and ordered parts. Took the tt in on Friday morning, parts arrived Friday afternoon, and repairs will be made tomorrow (Monday) morning, which means we can still leave on schedule on our Texas trip. KUDOS to BILL THOMAS CAMPER SALES, WENTZVILLE, MO on great customer service.

4 days and a wake-up until our Texas trip. (Boy, there's an expression that goes back to my old Army days, some 40+ years ago )

You should be in fine shape if you use a wheelbarrow and save the $4-5000.

Truth be known, it would probably have to be towed by a Chevy the 2nd & 3rd loads.
