I sure hope Marcos solves the slide problem, Ron.
I'm taking my Dodge pickup to him to see if he can fix the cruise control and intermittent XM radio connection problems. These are mysteries that
have confounded me since the Anomaly of El Rosario. XM users will know what I mean.
Marcos is indeed a problem-solver. I may ask him about going 'all in' on pocket aces??

Last evening I went into town to see Marcos. Unfortunately a piece of the housing had broken. It is plastic and Marcos has no way to fix without the
new part. He has no way to order so I'll get on the phone Monday to order it. I'm hoping to have the part shipped to the place that has the
refrigerator (San Diego) so when I find someone to bring the frig they can bring the part. (I'm still looking for someone coming down to bring the
frig-hint hint!!) Tried again to pay Marcos for his trip to El Burro and his time to take it apart etc- he said again- "you are not yet fixed. When
fixed, you can pay me!!

Ron...have you tried getting that part from Wahoo RV in San Jose del Cabo? He can then ship via bus to Mulege for you. Just a thought...

I might also say, that the part that you need may be only available from the manufactor, and then only if its a late model RV
just last month I had bought a 5th wheel 33' with 2 slides, the slide out wiring was missing,, I tried all over town at RV parts stores and not one of
them could help me, I finally contacted the manufator direct and they shipped it direct to me, FYI I bought the 5ht wheel to flip it.
If I can be of any help on this end U2U me,

Update- I took pictures of the broken parts and emailed to Winnebago. They identified the parts and agreed to send them to Mexico. The parts left the
US, via USPS priority mail, on March 28th and arrived "general delivery" to the Mulege post office yesterday ie April 10th. (Less than two weeks
which I think is pretty good.). Marcos is coming out tomorrow or Friday. He asked me to have the manual available to show him how the parts fit- I
have the manual but of course it is in English. I speak some Spanish but translating a diagram might be a challenge. We'll see. The good news is
Marcos is a true professional and has a "can do" attitude. Thanks to all for the advice and ideas. Ron

Final update- Marcos was out today and the slideout is fixed and working perfect. Not only did he fix it but he fine tuned adjustments etc. I also had
a problem with the tow car lights Once he finished with the slideout he fixed the tow car problem. Both times he came to El Burro he brought a
worker Felix. My total bill for the two men including two trip charges, fixing the slideout and the tow car wiring was under $70!! I gave both him and
his helper a good tip which they appreciated. What a great guy- no wonder he always get outstanding recommendations!!

Ron, I visited with Marcos yesterday afternoon about my boat trailer lights. In passing he mentioned going to Burros
today and tackling your slide-out problem.
Glad to hear it went well. Manana...Saturday, he comes out to fix my boat trailer lights, and I am sure that will go very well, too.
