As we approach my 1 year Airstream purchase anniversary (2/28/14), I made an appointment with LazyDays RV in Tucson to perform maintenance and warranty work. I dropped the AS off yesterday (1/20) and will pick it up this afternoon; a long time to work on the AS and at about $130/hour, the bill will be about $1000! With about 10,000 tow miles on the AS, the primary items requiring maintenance are repacking the wheel bearings, checking the brakes, and maintaining the batteries. They'll also wash it with the special AS walbernizing wash which will make it nice and shiny:)
Eventually (later this year?) I'll need to have all 9 windows resealed which takes about an hour of labor per window!
I was a bit nervous yesterday towing the AS after almost 3 months in Tucson; one gets out of the habit of towing. I'll need to return to LazyDays in several weeks once they receive warranty parts (front window covers) so I'll get more practice but then I'll be sedentary until at least April 1st.
UPDATE: When I arrived to pickup the AS this afternoon, the service advisor advised:) me they didn't have the recall part they thought they had so they need to keep the AS 2 more days until the part comes in - bummer. Will stay in a local hotel for 2 more nights; no big deal, I'm on vacation either way:)
