[Oregon Gypsys]

A few words to continue our ongoing saga.
We had to interrupt our full timing because of our leaks. We have
been in and out of trouble since. We came back to the valley and
got into icey roads and 20% temps. Nearly went off a cliff with
trailer and truck twice. No major damage and no one hurt.
We took it to our dealer for repairs and rats got in and chewed
hoses while it was there.
Now for the good news. We did make arrangments to take trailer to
Pendelton OR factory.
Took trailer there last tuesday. The gentlemen took a look at our
front slides. One turned to the other and said "Do you believe that?
We can fix that."
We were impressed by these gentlemen and have confidence our leak
problem will be solved.
I pulled some of the panels and found the chewed tubing and hose
but was unable to repair it because it started to rain and I was
on the city street.
After looking in the belly and finding wires and hoses not prot-
ected I'm thinking about pulling all the panels and protecting
the hoses and wires, insulating and sealing everything etc. I
thought I read a thread in the forum about someone who did this
but couldn't find it.
Would appreciate any advice about best way to protect wires and
hoses, what kind of insulation, above and below hoses? best way
seal panels?
Thank You Glenn
