Unfortunately since my last post, the other side of the sofa is now ripping and since we didn't get that approved we have to start the process all over again to get it repaired, which means taking more photos, pulling up the entire seat again so we can take another photo of the model/serial number label on the underside of the unit, then wait for approval and shipment of yet another side of the love seat. That can take another month or so!! URGGGG...this is getting so frustrating!!! I just want to go and start our adventure already!!! So, OK...here's what I think, or so I should say we think...but since I'm writing the blog, for arguments sake, if I say I...I always mean "we or us"!
So, I thought these couches are made like "Crap"! So I figure we will continually have problems with them. They rip in the same location, where the stress point is in the corner of the seaming...so why not ask for a complete new type of seating all the way around, right? So I spoke to the Mfg. Rep and he said get me the photos (see above) and I can usually get an approval within a day...but here's the big but...Ha! They will only give us a credit for the couches we have and then we can go out and buy their replacements ourselves. So, OK...how much are they going to give us? No clue!!!
So, along this thinking we head out to a place in Eugene that specializes in RV furniture! We find one love seat combo similar to the one that ripped but a lot nicer...won't fit our dimensions, but can move to the other side where the larger sofa is now, but then we'll have a big gap b/c that sofa is longer and this love seat is smaller...URG!!! Then the furniture Mfg. doesn't make a matching sofa size to match that love seat that we liked...another URG!!! So we did find ones to fit perfectly but they are terribly UNCOMFORTABLE!!! Looked nice, but not comfortable...URG again, not to mention VERY EXPENSIVE TOO!!! OK...at this point...Can I please get my house back!!!!
So, OK, we moved on and went ahead and had the 1st torn love seat section repaired and it appears the replacement part is firmer and more padded than its predecessor and it may be OK after all...time will tell. We want to move on and move to the Oregon Coast for awhile and then head east in June. We really don't want to hang around here for another month waiting for the other side section of this fricken love seat!!! We're thinking we will just call the RV Mfg Rep and send him the photos he requires and then ask him to make note of the date and we will arrange with him a new dealer in a new location to repair this section of the love seat albeit at a different time and location suited to our travels! Whadaya think? With our luck, this probably won't fly, but worth a try nonetheless...story to be continued.
So, Ok, we are now staying at Deerwood RV Park here in Eugene, OR and it is Beautiful!! I love this place!
So, OK, we leave this beautiful place tomorrow and head towards Tillamook on the Oregon Coast where we will be staying at Netarts Bay Garden RV Resort. Can't wait to do some Crabbing...Yes!!!
More posts once we're situated and lots more photos too!
