[VAC] On the Road again...sort of



    Just returned from getting the '76 31' Sov out of hock with Oasis RV. It
developed the dread frame separation :^(. Picked it up Sat a.m. and spend
the weekend in a State campground enjoying it, and the meteor shower.

Anyhoo, they fixed that, and replaced the shocks. Also fixed a bunch of
small things (dents, dings, electrical shorts, etc.) at no charge, which was
very nice. Sad to say that Cliff the parts guy is no longer there, but Jay,
the service guy still is. Very nice bunch of folks to deal with.

The A/S had an 'add-on' grey water tank that turned out to be steel, and
that was removed and trashed, so we lost a couple of hundred pounds there.

I had earlier mentioned that I installed a satellite dish, but unfortunately
took no pics. Will take some of the completed installation with annotations
on how I did it for those interested, and will post to the archives (when I
figure out how to do it).
