Motorhome is Back in Service

Well, after seven weeks, multiple phone calls and a second repair we are ready to roll. Yes, I said second repair. We were told the new hitch receiver was in place, the new flap on , electrical work and paint repair completed so we went to pick it up. When we arrived at Marty’s we decided to attach the tow bar to the RV to make sure everything was in proper alignment. Looking at the receiver we noticed it was recessed significantly beyond the back of the bumper. It didn’t look right but Ron tried to attach the tow bar. Needless to say our initial fear was accurate and the tow bar could not be introduced into the hitch. Ron went to speak to the service manager asking if a piece was missing off the receiver. He was assured all of appropriate replacement parts were in place. Ron then asked if it was possible that the receiver had been put on backwards. The service manager was emphatic that the receiver could NOT be put on backwards. Well, once he looked at the receiver he meekly admitted that , in fact, the receiver had been put on backwards. We left and later that day did finally get our MotorHome repaired appropriately and it is now home ready to be packed for our trip. Amen!!!

This is what the receiver is supposed to look like!
