Out With The Old!!!
Due to the unavailability of a major part, Ite time to replace my Splendide mod 2000 W/D. The control module that operates the drum motor has burned out and Splendide is no longer making the part. Westland Sales has exhausted all avenues trying to locate one. They said that the last of the 2000 models came off the assembly line in 2002. So now I either replace the unit or I have a very large paper weight.

RE: GS & Splendide
Yes, there is a local repair facility that I had gone to that found the defective part. They also contacted Westland Sales( the sole source for Splendide in the country) to try to locate the part.

GS & Splendide
I just wanted to inform everyone that may have the older Splendide model 2000 that the main circuit board(control module)is no longer available through Westland Sales. They are the sole source of supply for Splendide in this country. Mine quit last night. My Gold Ext Serv policy claims its good for stand-alone appliance replacement. Not so much when you try to file a claim. I sent a privat message to the GS Care Team asking for assistance. We'll see how things turn out.

RE: Splendide W/D
No repair man needed. I already have the control board removed. I also have the training manual that walks you through the testing of the control board. The manual was not needed though after I spotted the big black burn mark on it.

Splendide W/D
My control module burned up after just a year of use. Besides Westland Sales in Oregon, does anyone else know if the circuit board can be had somewhere else?

RE: Disney
Remember what happened to NY. What were the odds that a Hurricane would funnel itself right into NY harbor. Murphy's Law is always around.

RE: Cruise ship nightmare
They likely didn't drop them off in Mexico because there wasn't any place for 4k people to stay, difficult to get people off the ship, get them where they need to go and find flights etc and if one of the morons on the ship got hurt they might be open to actual damages in a suit. Those extra days getting people back to the US were likely frantically spent getting people reservations home.
While I don't disagree the entire episode sucked for passengers the entire "I'm going to sue" mentality is just stupid
The reason they didn't drop off the passengers in Mexico was do to the lack of passports by a large amount of the passengers. If they had dropped them off in Mexico then Carnival would have put them all on planes back to the ship's home port. The passengers without passports would not have been able to get on a plane and would have to stay with the ship or board another ship back to the U.S. The passport law after 9-11 was that it would be manditory to posses a passport in order to board a cruise ship. The law was changed by pressure from the cruise industry because they felt that a lot of passengers would refuse to cruise if they had to get passports. So now if something like this should happen again you can expect the same result. A long slow tow back to a U.S. port.

RE: Fort Wilderness Price
I was there two weeks ago. A standard site cost me $65 a night. Timing is everything. If you go after New Years and before Presidents Day it is the cheapest time of the year. Do your reasearch. A standard site worked just fine for us. Like most people that go to Disney, you do not spend alot of time at the Campground. The benifits you get by staying at FT Wilderness make the cost reasonable. You'll pay $14 a day just to park in one of their mammoth size parking lots. Then you are also at their mercy($$$) when it comes time for lunch. And if you plan to stick around for the night time activities you now are there for dinner as well. Staying a FT Wilderness takes all that away. But I will say this, if you are retired or active Military you can get a 4 day hopper pass for $156 per person. Jo civilian will pay $89 for a one day ticket. Feel free to contact me off line if you would like more info.

RE: Atwood 8500 Furnace
If the sail switch was the problem it would have never lit. The problem soumds like there is no flame recognition so it shuts down. Find the flame sensor and take some fine grit sand paper to it and clean it up. Just as in residential gas furnaces if the flame sensor is rusted up it cannot sense the millivolt signal carried from the flame. Sounds weird but that's how it works. Shine it up like a new dime and see what happens. There is a sequence of events that have to happen to get the gas valve to open. If it was the sail switch then it would have sensed no air flow and would have stopped the ignition process. Sand down the flame sensor, its just a metal rod. Now your spark ignitor may also double as the flame sensor. If that's the case, sand that down but becarefull not to increase the gap between the electrodes

RE: Cruise ship nightmare
The last cruise we did the ship nearly capsized due to a navigation error causing it to take a abrupt turn at full speed. Never again!
Unless there are other factors involved, a ship is designed to be able to take a full power turn, it could never capsize itself. To the passengers it may seem like its going to capsize, it may make one heck of a mess during dinner service, but it will never capsize under its own power.

RE: Cruise ship nightmare
They should be greatfull that the ship was still floating the way it was designed to float. I've sold cruises for a while, Carnival was known to be the Dollar General of the cruise industry. Calling them the walmart of the cruise industry would be too large of a step up. They can afford to be like that because Carnival Corp owns MOST of the the other cruiselines out there. With the exception of Royal Caribbean that owns Celebrity cruise lines.

Coming Apart At The Seams
I have a 1998 Country Coach. The awning over the slide has started to come apart at the seams. Its like the stiching thread is disolving. One day it was fine and the next day the 3 of the 4 seams have separated. The awning is made of sunbrella material. I'm open to suggestions. :h :?

RE: How about a summer get to gether
Birdland Bay RV Resort in Thompson Falls MT is a great place to meet. They are centrally located for a lot of day trips. They are about 2 hrs up Route 200 from Missoula. I spent alot of time there last summer. Pay for 6 nights and get the 7th nite free. The rates are very reasonable as well. :B

RE: Carrying a Kayak
I have an inflatable kayak made by Sea Eagle. They claim ti can handle up to class 3 rapids. We proved that it could this pass summer in Montana. My wife and I paddled 26 miles down the Clark Fork River from Plain to Thompson Falls. It has a couple class 2's and a class 3. It rolls up into a nice bag and the paddles disassemble and fit into the bag as well. Its worth looking into. Sea Eagle has several types of inflatables for all purposes.

RE: Automatic renewal
Way to go Good Sam!!! I want to publicly thank you for your phone call. The options you gave me were very reasonable. The situation has been resolved. I want anyone that reads this to know that I received a phone call from Wes Robinson not 5 minutes after I posted the message. That is what I call customer service.
