Day 46 - (09/17) Las Vegas, NV ... Day 2

Dick got the car in for service at Findlay Chevrolet by 7:15am.  It's 6.5 miles away.  They kindly provided a shuttle ride to the RV park and promised to call when they had a diagnosis and cost estimate.

We spent the day as captives of The Oasis RV Resort.  It was a pretty nice way to be confined.

This is just the registration waiting area
Our site #625 was the least expensive
They have two beautiful pools and a spa
Shaded walks
Cool cars (1949 Pontiac)
With the old window A/C and sun visor

Their restaurant serves breakfast & lunch only.  Our breakfast was quite good and very reasonably priced.
Enter here for the restaurant, store,
fitness center, ballroom, and meeting rooms.

All things considered, this is a classy place.

We did chores and waited for a Chevy dealer update.  It came a little after 3pm and it wasn't good.  

(a) The front brakes need service.  We have 94,500 miles and they're original.  This was no surprise.

(b) They haven't figured out why both low beam headlights went out for a few days, then started working again.  The bulbs and fuses tested good.

(c) They haven't figured out why the oil was 4 quarts low last Thursday and 1 quart low today after 418 miles of recent driving .  There's no indication of leaks or burning.  This is a major issue and could determine how and when we head for home.

(d)  They need more time.  We won't have wheels until tomorrow.

We ended the day with a relaxing swim.
