Wondering about the repairs.

I spent most of the day getting broken pieces off the RV and the rest trying to find parts.  I can see so far that finding parts will be a problem, most stuff, like the power step system is sold as an expensive total unit.  I also found out when trying to find sockets to remove nuts and bolts, that they are metric.  I looked the company up on the inter-net that made the step unit and it is here in the U.S. so why use metric?  They do sell some parts on line, like the gear that the shoulder bolt holds on (may need that, too), but the bolt is not listed.  I tried to call but was answered by a computer, must have been past closing time, and it was, at least here and the east coast.  Will do some more research today and make some calls.  I did go to an RV repair place and they took a picture of the bolt and told me to call back with the make and model number of the unit.  I am going to tell them to hold up until I see if I can get the broke off part out.

I got the screws for the lighted hand grab.  Since it was knocked crooked and the screws were pulled out at an angle, I will put a piece of cording in the screw holes to act as filler for the threads to make sure they get a tight grip.  After I get it back on I will take a picture of it for you.

Enough sitting in front of the computer, got to go get to work.  Or, I guess I could call BillyBob to come and help.  Then it would never get done, we would just go fishing (grin).  If you have been keeping up with his blog, he has worse RV repair problems than I do and I don’t envy him at all at this time, although I have envied his life style.  You all have a great day now, you hear?
