Back Lot Tom’s RV Service
Albuquerque, NM

Spent the last eternity sitting in Santa Fe trying to get the remodel done. It just would not work and I finally left Santa Fe with much less than I had hoped for. In many ways it an improvement and we sure tried hard but it no way solves the space issues. Along the way :
The box separated from the trailer
The brake controller broke
I found the stabilizer chains were wearing out
The truck needed new tires
Oh and the gas burner pilot light thingy for the ice box broke. So I how have no gas.
And Heather left on vacation with her Parents.

Randy and Vanessa, of Action RV drop everything to come over and install a new break controller. In my search to find someone to refasten the box back on the frame I discovered Tom’s RV Service in Alb. So after many disappointments in Santa Fe the old airstream and I limped off into the sunset toward Tom’s RV and the hope that some of my dreams would be fulfilled.

Now Tom is quite a man. As I sit in the office waiting for it all to come together I hear him on the phone. Folks call in from the road and if he can’t help them he gets their number and makes call to find the help they need then calls them back. Says it’s easier for him to do it then the out of towners. This while his shop is super busy and he dose not have the time, yet he makes it all with a smile.

Tom’s address is:
136 Moon St
Albquerque, NM 87123
Cell: 505-401-3407

Tom was able to get a welder to stop all he was doing and re connect the box. As well as fixing the links on the stabilizer bars, as he was doing this I got the new tires. The welder had to cut up the belly pan to accomplish this and Irish was right there at Toms to patch all the holes the welder had to make as well as a few we’d acquired along the road. Tom could not fix the gas problems but found a salvage yard in Denver that thought they had the part I needed. Next stop is Boulder to pick up Jesse for the trek back to Connecticut so it was perfect and off I went. Looks like the solution is near at hand and I want the trailer to be together for Jesse and my trip east. The benches still have blue tape as I have not finished the staining and nothing is put away but all that is okay cause we’ll have gas!
Tomorrow morning I head off.
