My fellow travelers while on an extended trip from Ocean City, MD enroute to the Albequerque Balloon Festival, we had the occasion to stop in the great little town of Post, Texas about 30 miles south of Lubbock. While waiting for the only red light in Post to change my front bumper fell completely off the van only tethered only by the sensor wires. I write this note to give you folks the heads up on how my bumber was originally attached to the van. The bumper was attached to my $145,000 Airstream Interstate by TAPE.
Called Colonial, (my dealer) and was advised by the service department not an Airsteam issue but a Mercedez problem and they offered NO further assistance. After many calls later spoke to the customer relations rep at Jackson Center who recommended an Airstream dealer about three hours from us located in Amarillo, Tx called Jack Sizemore Traveland 806-358-4891. Upon arrival we were greeted by a hard working and committed staff who repaired the van and let us use their parking lot while the newly attached bumper with it's resin compound could properly cure.
Jackson Center paid the bill. Still have to find a Mercedez Dealer to reset the computer. No dealers located in Amarillo. What the hell has happened to the quality in everything we buy. Could have had the bumper fall off of any other vehicle and would not have been so surprised I am however surprised and aggravated that this style of shoddy work is allowed to go on.
Have safe travels and watch that damn front bumper it might just fall off.
