And I swear we...I'm so proud to be the winner! And I swear we didn't have either of those things when I was a kid - I'm not THAT old :-) <br />How is it that Camping World has such consistently poor customer service in all parts of the country? It's like they have a staff training program that focuses on misleading customers, and a reward program for incompetency :-( Sounds like Winona's assailant knew the cop and thought she could blame the hit on David - when the cop saw it was clearly her fault, the "best" he could do for her was not file a report. I'd file a complaint with the police dept and send a copy to my insurance company. They will do an investigation before they pay for any work. <br />But really - wrapped between those donuts and those views - all that other stuff is just stuff! I could sit in that little spot where the ranger was and not worry about another thing, just looking out over all that amazing-ness. The shots of the elk, the sun setting on the canyon, the twilight rock........'tis a grand life.

Turn off the water and with some rubber gloves take some petroleum jelly and coat the toilet seal and ball (or slide depending on which you have) liberally. You then dry flush the toilet several times to ensure the petroleum jelly coats everything completely. Then turn the water back on.<br /><br />This will help the rubber seal to swell a bit and hold water. My toilet gave me the same trouble and I did this about four months ago and it still is working. Hope it works for you and buys your some time to get all the parts you might need for a permanent fix. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about Winnona's damage. I'm still scratching my head as to how I'm going to get the bent compartment door on my MH fixed.

Those kinds of situations are so difficult when it's obviously unfair for the perpetrator to not have been charged with the accident and unreasonable that your damage (at least part of it) won't be covered. On a happier note, Fruita is gorgeous! That's our kind of place. Your sunset photos are especially beautiful.

Of course, it helped that we had private tour guides for our visit. Friends that turned us on to fulltiming in a MH live in Teasdale right next to Torrey.
