This is terrible!
We took the RV to Eric to get the rattle/clunk fixed. He found it and fixed it. Why is that terrible? He fixed so many things all at once, we don’t know which one eliminated the noise! He found a loose body panel and secured it. He found a defect in the hydrohot exhaust pipe hangers and added new ones. He replaced all eight shocks. After years of no-one being able to find the rattle/clunk, he found it and then some. We drove the rig back to the RV Park and the ride was eerily quiet; smooth as silk; much improved over yesterday. It’ll take some getting used to.
We know a guy
His name is Eric. He runs Eric’s Performance RV Center in Sequim (pronounced Squim) out on the peninsula. He’s a chassis/suspension guy. HE will be able to locate and eliminate the mystery rattle/clunk. I think we’re the last of the four brothers to bring an RV handling issue to him. We hear he is the guy to talk to. In fact we’ve already talked to him. Last week. He says we’ve got a problem with the left front shock. He hasn’t seen it yet, but he’s already diagnosed it. We drop off the rig for him to work on tomorrow morning. We’re at the John Wayne Marina RV Resort.

Enjoying the reunion. Meant to get some pictures but don’t have anything yet, so here is something else from that boat ride last week. An elephant seal youngster lying on an island (with a great blue heron).
This youngster probably goes 400 pounds.
