Towing Again

November 25, 2009
Mesa, AZ

We're back in business! Repairs to the Range Rover's towing system were completed this morning. Since we didn't plan to stay at Camping World overnight (even though we could have), we schlepped home with the coach and I headed back to Mesa in the morning. I was able to verify that the base plate was installed the way I wanted (Loc-Tite Red plus jamb nuts on everything), and had them make modifications to the wiring so that the Rover's signal lights work better. It was originally set up so that the brake lights did double duty as signals.

We're pleased that Camping World stood behind their "lifetime installation warranty", including the fact that they ordered in a new base plate rather than re-installing the old one. Since it was just laying around, I grabbed the old one to use for spare parts (pins, brackets) if needed.

At this point, the only remaining repair item is the cover we use on the front of the Rover. I sent that off to the manufacturer in Southern California about two weeks ago, so I expect we'll get that back next week, in plenty of time for our next trip.

OK, time to head back to storage.
