Ron just had a showing of his creations of his elaborate photos. We fell in love with one that will go perfect in our coach.

Anyone that has seen Ron does not believe he is really 80. We think he just says that to get out of working under the coach! LOL.

Ron, I already added that shop to the Service Center database for you, so let us know how the repairs go.

Good luck,

Don't blame you for not wanting to do the heavy work, Ron, and neither do I.
But with the prices I was quoted it looked like the only alternative. Let me
know what this costs you and how good the work is. I may be paying them a
visit too.

I think that any competent hydraulic shop
can repair the jacks. When we were in California
I had a jack start leaking. I went to an outfit my sister uses for her shop
floor jacks called Jack-Exchange. They wanted $63 to rebuild the jack so at
that price I had them do all four since they were 24 years old. That was in
2006 and we haven’t had a problem since.
