Some Good (And Sort Of Bad) News About That Van

Some Good (And Sort Of Bad) News About That Van

         Wednesday afternoon I called Camping World in Woodstock Georgia, looking to ask the guy (Mason) in Finance where the title for the Van was.  He had said I'd have it Monday or Tuesday.  With Monday being a holiday, I waited until Wednesday.  Mason told the receptionist that he would call me back.  I asked to speak to Mason's manager since Mason seemed to be dodging me.  Instead, I spoke with the person who handles their titles and she apologized profusely for not sending it last Friday.  Long and short of it?  The title arrived yesterday!  YAY...  /that's the good news.

         When the tires were replaced Tuesday, the shop discovered that there are no tools in the van for changing a flat tire.  No Jack, no lug nut wrench, and no tool to lower the spare from beneath the van.  I guess it takes a special size lug-nut type wrench to crank it down, and they didn't have the right size.  So we have no tools to remove a flat tire, and no tools to allow us access to the spare.  I checked with the local Dodge dealership, they couldn't identify the tool either!  Plus, they wanted over $200 for the jack alone!  Something I can get at Wal-Mart for about $75.  Shaking my head again over all that.

         Then, I went to Springfield Illinois to have an extended length running board installed on the passenger side.  And of course, there was a snag, and it wasn't done.  The dealership in Woodstock Georgia had ordered one that fit a 2018 RAM Promaster Van, not one designed for a 2018 RAM Promaster Campervan.  Those are not interchangeable between those van models.  So yeah, good news, and bad news.  The Beat Goes On, doesn't it.  We just priced a new Van, 2024 model.  A little over $190,000 for it!  Dang I'm glad we bought used, even with all the troubles we've experienced.
