Heading for Louisiana

I’m not going to go into all the details from today about dealing with Samsung, but let’s just say I will be receiving a full refund for the fridge that I purchased last January.  I’ve decided, depending on the weather, to head out of here tomorrow morning, and set my destination for Thibodeaux’s Premiere RV in Scott, LA.

I’ll load up on ice before I leave.  I’m using the bottom freezer compartment of the non-working fridge as a cooler until a new unit can be installed.  It seems there isn’t anyone in southern Illinois willing to remove this fridge for service.  Steaming mad  Having only a cooler reminds me of my tenting days.

I enjoyed visiting Crab Orchard NWR, but I wish it would have been under different circumstances.  I’ve hooked up the toad, and by the time I go to bed tonight all I’ll have left to do is unhook the water and electric.  My latest plan is to make it just south of Memphis tomorrow afternoon.  Wish me luck in leaving Murphy behind in Illinois!

Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later,  Judy

    Wow, I have made a note to myself not to get an RV with a residential refrigerator. Hope you can get this resolved in LA.

    Geez, we have a residential fridge and so far so good! Knock on wood! You are truly a woman of great patience and you have had a terrific attitude to have kept your sanity and dignity amidst all this CRAP! Of course, we have no idea what conversations may have transpired, but bet you held those with dignity and patience as well! Hope we get to meet you some day!

    Good wishes for a happy ending. Maybe your non-working fridge will induce you to go out to eat. Bonus!!!

    That's one thing I will never miss about tent camping - the ice chest is a PITA. Here's to a new improved refrigerator for you. Soon!

    It's time to put Murphy in your rear view mirror, enough's, enough already. Safe travels.

    After all the work getting that darn refrig, you should be just about ready to "kick some butt"! I LOVE Louisiana....We will be there hopefully in early December, if McGuyver ever gets out of the corn and beans...

    Oh, my, Judy...have you been having a tough time or what! I got way behind on your blog and am now caught up. Now that you have brakes, I hope your refrigerator will be in working order soon. I think you do a great job hanging onto your sense of humor. I hope you're done with problems.

    Well you have had your share of misfortunes. When I saw the red crabby face, I thought uh-oh, more trouble. I hope the fridge gets fixed or replaced soon. Safe travels.

    Glad you are getting the refund. Is it for the fridge only or for the labor to put it in and take it out as well. Nothing is free these days! Actually never was!

    I like Kenny and Angela's comment. Hopefully Murphy won't notice you're gone until you are really gone. Good luck with the fridge situation.

    Here's calling to put Murphy on ice, once and for all.

    I think you're doing the right thing, returning to where the fridge was installed in the first place. Who better than them to take it out?

    Wonder what kind of fun you'll have on this "adventure". Best of luck! (from a crazy person) ;c)

    I'm glad you decided to go back to LA and have your frig fixed. Those guys will take good care of you - they did before. And, you are getting closer to Anahuac. Sounds like you are having nice warm weather. We are freezing here in WI - hope to be able to leave soon. Hope things are looking up for you. Safe travels.

    Hey, you'll only be 2 1/2 hours from me here in Mississippi! If you get stuck in the parking lot, let me know and I'll come rescue you!

    Well I must congratulate you on getting a full refund from Samsung as quickly as you did! It took me MUCH longer...and I will NEVER buy another Samsung product again! Safe travels!

    I'd say it's you out of Illinois and Murphy staying in Illinois. Sounds like a plan to me!!

    Too bad no one was willing to work on the fridge, but good news on the refund. With Murphy back in IL, may the work in LA be handled smoothly and efficiently.

    Wishing you a safe and uneventful trip and good luck in getting the fridge replaced. Please leave that black cloud behind in Illinois. Maybe you can disguise yourself so it won't follow you :)

    Got your comment on my blog. We actually will not be a Louisiana until late February. Most of February finds us volunteering with NOMADS in Moss Point, MS! Anywhere near you?
