Must be the unluckiest motorhomer in the world.
As you know, recently changed our van to a beautiful machine. Few nights away, fixing this and that.
And now this.
One of the air suspension bolts came out on the rear tag axle. (goldshmitt) this has caused a "tear" in the bellow. Managed to get home and assess the situation.
Today I phoned Travel World who don't stock the bellow, said they would have to email Goldsmitt with an estimated response time of get it "3 weeks" just to respond..
Tried ringing RV installs who said pretty much the same and prepare for a 3 month yes 3 month wait to get this sorted. I'm pretty confident I could fit the bellow myself if I had the chance but I can't even get one. I have looked at the options of trying a temp repair but my brain can not engage this.
I genuinely think right now, after 20 years of doing this, I'm done with it. what sort of industry could it be acceptable to leave you on the side of the road for 3 months. I have no idea how what happened happened, probably one of our numerous pot holed excuses for a road, but I've had enough.
I've put some pictures up if anyone can suggested if there's a work around.
