Nacogdoches Economic Development trip

Just returned from my second NAC economic development trip


On way to NAC< stopped at MCD north of Dallas and had new powered front shade installed and new remote powered front entry door shade installed

Went to David Flanagan's shop and FOT installed my used but new to me (and recovered to match my current seats (ultra leather)) Knoedler Power Chief Air Ride Seat with massage, cooling and heating capability.  Flanagan's team also fabricated and installed a "track" for the MCD to run up and down in on either side of the shade, covered to match and installed - really neat! Finally, they had built the extensions for bringing ducted air all the way forward, they installed them in my coach as well

Stopped by MOT, they worked on my HWH a bit and cleaned an A/C unit

Went to Bern's for the 120,000 valve adjustment, he saw a couple of things on the air bags I had installed earlier in May, tweaked them, found a seal on main output shaft of Allison leaking, changed that and went to transynd, and then said what the hell and had all the fuel lines replaced.

Nice trip - probably done supporting the local economy for a while!

That town kills me! Where in the U.S could one go and have everyone say, "no big deal, my Dad built your coach."

Very jealous of the new driver seat but on my current trip, 1200 miles so far and not even an ounce of back pain.  Maybe your back has to conform to the Villa seats and it takes a 12,000 mile breakin :-P

I love my air seat.  So much better then the old villa seat.  It costs as much as changing out both seats to new villas though.
