US Reisemobile Service currently has 40 motorhomes waiting for repairs, and demand is enormous. The four-person crew works non-stop during the week until Saturday.
The company is now even being recommended to European motorhome owners.
No wonder, because their expertise is truly exceptional.
I had a long conversation with Michael last week over a good cup of coffee, and during the conversation, I addressed a few points that are important to me regarding our Revcon:
In an emergency, the team in Babenhausen would also overhaul, optimize, and strengthen the Revcon's 425 transmission.
My 6.6-liter L80 Oldsmobile Toronado V8 could easily be repaired in the event of engine failure or replaced with a modern 5.7-liter with 250 hp from, for example, Raabspeed Imports.
As is well known, I won't lose my H-registration by doing this, and the mounting points of the 5.7 liter engine fit those of the old 6.6 V8.
Comment on this on Tuesday: Pulling out the engine and transmission with the entire UPP drivetrain is easier for you than replacing the windshield; it can be done in 2 to 3 hours. This is in line with the statement of Cyrax.
Here, it is recommended that the engine and transmission are serviced at the same time – if they have already been removed.
My brake drum problem: For the Revcon, they would replace the current Dexter wheel hubs with new hubs from the same company, which are also available in Europe, and which would then be supplied with balanced brake drums. They also convert U.S. trailers in this way, for example.
According to Michael, our Revcon is currently running perfectly, both engine-wise and transmission-wise. He only criticizes the brake pedal's excessively high position, which could be remedied by a modification he suggests.
Now they need to eliminate the annoying front vibrations by June, replace the tie rods, and renew the TÜV and propane safety stickers. Successful completion of these tasks would be sufficient for our planned 5,000 km this summer.
Then my Saxon mechanic takes over again.
Of course, it's also a financial question, because the company in Babenhausen demands a certain price, and you have to be aware of this fact in advance when placing an work order.
I collect the invoices and submit them to the next appraisal, so my investments are always covered.
In times like these, I'm certainly not sinking my hard-earned money into some new rip-off car with inherent depreciation.
Boost the German economy a bit with my money, it's all EU anyway, and besides, if the worst comes to the worst, I'll finally get the exact expertise I need for those specialized work on the Revcon that no one else has been willing or able to do so far.
I now know the right people.
