Pollyanna Comes Clean


Lest I give the wrong impression about our Escape 19 with my perhaps Pollyannaish enthusiasm for everything about it, it is only fair to mention that we have encountered some flaws during our first seven weeks with it. Reace is sending us a new valve for the black water tank to replace the original valve which leaked. And Great Husband will be re-gluing a crack which developed between the camper roof and the air conditioning shroud on one side.

The latest few problems were encountered by Great Husband during one of his migraine headaches, so even Pollyanna was feeling the effects. The bathroom door wouldn’t latch until Great Husband folded some paper to make a temporary spacer which moved the receiver slightly closer to the door. Then the caulk around the shower drain didn’t adhere worth beans and lifted off in a complete ring during a wipe-down of the bathroom. Duct tape to the rescue for the moment. And not totally diagnosed yet is leaking water from the kitchen sink drain. In the meantime, a pan is catching the drips in the cabinet below.

Unfortunately for Great Husband, Pollyanna has no fix-it skills. All Pollyanna can do is continue loving the Escape without reservation, so that’s what she does.
