Edith’s homestead at Tower Campground

I had no idea I would spend four months stuck at Tower Campground in Sioux Falls South Dakota because of a magnitude of problems; the whopper was a devilish rear leveling jack on the driver’s side that wouldn’t stay up. Although, various Thor Warranty Center Customer Support staff attempted to walk-me-through jack recalibration on the telephone which didn’t resolve the problem.

The fact there aren’t any rv electronic mobile service units in Sioux Falls; my mobile home could not be driven with one or more leveling jacks sitting on the ground.

A new Camping World Store opened in Sioux Falls South Dakota on May 25. While picking up supplies on July 7, I shared my rv problems with the service manager, who confirmed they weren’t offering mobile services either because of the high cost to stock and maintain a service truck. However, the manager did provide the name and telephone number for me to contact an acquaintance that worked at another RV Service Center, who might be able to get to me quicker and resolve my problem.

After two attempts (July 10 and July 14) to recalibrate the rear jack that kept dropping a few minutes after adjusting; it was determined the control panel wasn’t communicating with the jack properly. On July 17, the problem jack was finally removed by a vehicle mechanic. Currently, the remaining three jacks are still retracted and my rv is now drivable. As a result, I have a warranty repair appointment scheduled for July 24 in Alvarado Texas.

I am so excited to be leaving Sioux Falls South Dakota on July 20; residents refer to Sioux Falls as the country. Meanwhile, I’ve been humming and singing Willie Nelson’s song “On the road Again.”
