I'm very sorry to hear this news but not at all surprised. We stopped in Mojave Valley on our way home from Mexico in March 2024.  We had a good visit with Van, Cheryl and Clifford but it was alarming how much Van had failed at that time.  I'm sure it was a comfort to him having made it back to South Carolina.  One by one they drop away until we look around the room and realize that we're now the old ones.

The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you.
Its the last thing but its still on the list.

Sorry to hear that.  He was very helpful in helping install a new generator in my bus in 2021.  I talked to him about two years ago, and he was telling me about moving to NC.
