That's the new date for when I get the camper back. Maybe. If nothing else goes wrong. You know your camper has been at the shop too long when they give it a nickname before you get to. They call it the "Mushroom". I guess because it's rounded at the top.
That will leave me 35 days to do what I want to do before the shakedown cruise. And not many of those are weekends, since I have committed to 2 camp outs with my friends before June 20th. Actually that leaves just 3 Sundays and 3 Saturdays. The whole job thing (which I will not complain about, since it's financing the camper) takes up a huge chunk of potential "fix up the camper" time.
I picked out a brake controller today, one that's more automatic and "intuitive" than the basic one, got a ceiling vent so I can replace the one that is there now, and some light bulbs (12v, see I'm learning).
They still have to do the wiring for the brake controller and install the charging line for the battery, which is also new. The door has a lock that works, but they still need to adjust the door so that it will stay shut while going down the road.
They have spent a lot of time on my camper that wasn't in the original estimate, but they are honoring the estimate and not gouging me for the rest. I think that's pretty decent of them. There are so many places that would have charged me more.
Here's another creek picture to distract you from the lack of progress.
