And then there was Will

So the saga of the tire didn’t quite end when we bought the new tire. When we got back to the campground Vern went to check the air pressure only to discover that the valve stem was too short couldn’t inflate couldn’t check the air pressure so in reality while it was inflated not much use in the long run. One thing we knew was we were not driving back to Klamathb falls again. After much back and falls Les Schwab agreed to send a mobile unit out at no charge. Enter “Will” stage left. He arrived with a smile on his face and an attitude of helpfulness and he knew his stuff. He quickly assessed that as this was an airstream our rims were made by Alco and were aluminum so thicker meaning a standard valve would be too short. He had the tire off the rim new valve stem in and reinflated in like 20 mins. He then looked at Vern and I ,who were to say the least “a little worn out” and said “would you like me to put that tire back on your trailer for you only take me 5 mins “. I could have kissed him. It had taken Vern an hour at least to get the tire off. Now I should point out not because of lack of know how on Vern’s part just the lack of professional grade equipment. 10 minutes later it was all done. We tried to tip him but as expected he declined saying he was getting paid to be here and was glad he could help he hopped back it his truck and off he went. I felt like Santa had just been by. Anyway Vern and I are feeling very blessed and thankful. Also reassuring that people like that still exist.
