Hey Larry,
To be honest, while I was writing the first post, you and a few others came to mind and I was hoping that you would not feel like I was pointing my finger at you. As I mentioned at the begining of the first post, it did not refer to the failure 100 miles from nowhere.
Larry, you have handled your problem very well. You did what you had to to get your trailer repaired. I do agree with you when you state you had/have a serious safety problem. I think Bob did too. However, all we as members can do is go by what a poster may write.
You have written about breakdowns with your suspension very well. You have also tried to educate the rest of us as to what happened, how you repaired it and what the outcome has been with Lippert.
I have the utmost respect for you ( especially after our emails on another matter) and everyone else who has posted a problem, dealt with it and give the rest of us information on the result so we may avoid that problem.
I also don't think you are giving yourself enough credit. To go through what you did in Oregon with your springs and still have a good attitude counts for alot.
There is a big differnece between how you handled your problem and how it is a benefit to all those who read this forum and those who trash out HL, Lippert, Domectic and any other manufacturer. I can only surmize that those posters that feel the need to trash a manufactuter because it helps their situation and they may get special attention. You know, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
In reality, it is difficult to remove the trash from their post and really focus on the problem. It also detracts from the forum and makes me wonder if they truly understand their own problem. Or are they just taking up space with complaining because they don't know what else to write or how to accuratley describe their problem.
I do publicly apologize to you for the comment about finding something else to do. I did not intend for anyone to take offense by that statement. I was just pointing out that RVing with all its many different systems that could fail may not be for everyone.
I love to read about all the different problems and have learned alot along the way. If I can try to prevent a serious breakdown or repair by doing a little preventitive maintenance from knowledge learned here on this forum, then the forum has certainly done it's job.
But it is hard to learn anything out of post here or on any other forum where the poster trashes the company who built his or her trailer. I do believe posters have an obligation to do one of three things with their posts:
1) educate.
2) inform.
3)entertain.
If the post doesn't fall into one of these categories, what's the point?
Larry, thank you for taking the time to write a well thought out comment. I did not know about your black tank issues though. Glad you got the sewer trouts out. It really is a different form of entertainment when you get to watch your black tank contents through a clear elbow though, isn't it?
