We are currently in an RV park just south of Hoodsport, WA on Hood Canal. Nice place. We met another "camper" (this really is not camping!) who owns a really nice late 1990s Monaco motorhome that had been repainted. Looked great. It turns out that he (Jim Lewis) owns a coach conversion company located in Sumner, Washington. We talked a bit about his coach and ours and he really seems to know his stuff. They have done delamination repairs, but not on FT coaches. His company (www.infinitycoach.com (http://www.infinitycoach.com)) might be a good place to get repairs when in this part of the country. He may also have a contact to repair my ailing Prosine 3.0 inverter/charger.
If you are ever out this way, I highly recommend this park (the Waterfront at Potlatch). See the attached photo of our view. Its a small park (15 sites) and most sites are on the water.

George,
When's your next postcard?

Follow up on Infinity Coach..... We are in the Seattle area (Anacortes) and needed some work done on our slide. See other posts on the problem. I was thinking about going to R and R RV in Spokane (6 hours drive), but decided to try Infinity which was only 2 hours away. The repair facility is fairly small (4 bays) and privately owned. I worked with Jim Lewis who seems to run the place along with his father. Heath, their electronics tech, appears to have diagnosed a problem we had with our Tracstar satellite system and a part was ordered which I will install when it arrives. He also checked out our inverter/charger and said it was OK (Xantrex Prosine 3.0). Heath was a nice guy and seemed to know what he was doing. By the way, Heath said they have a source of this inverter which is generally not available (discontinued by Xantrex).
Jim talked to Triana at FT and to HWH and said that the couch and dinette would have to be removed to adjust the slide. In addition, it was clear that they had never worked on a FT slide previously, although they have installed HWH mechanisms on some of their custom coaches. Given the unexpected extent of the work and the fact that they had no FT experience, I "blinked" and told them I would get it done at the factory. I just didn't want to take a chance. So we have an appointment for R and R in a couple of weeks.
We stayed in their single parking space overnight which has 50 amp service. It is a pretty noisy industrial area of Sumner, but was OK overnight. It is not the most pleasant place to spend the day, that is for sure.
