Not so fun

We're in El Paso, TX, where we stopped at the Cummins dealer to get some routine maintenance done on the RV. Had a small oil leak somewhere around the fuel pump area. Our appointment was for 8 am yesterday, and they didn't even start working on the RV until after lunch! Turns out there was a gasket that needed replacement and had to be ordered overnight. It was going to be a big hassle to stay in the RV, plus they could have pulled the RV out to a site beside the building, but we didn't feel it was very safe, so we went to a motel for the night. To sum it up, it was miserable! We were too tired to complain, though.
Also, Sunday morning we noticed the milk wasn't very cold, so we started looking, and the stuff in the freezer was defrosting and the temp in the fridge was 55 degrees (should be around 40 degrees in the fridge). We tried everything but the fridge is OUT. Gone. Nada. We lost a lot of stuff, tried to find dry ice but couldn't. We did put some stuff in a cooler, maybe it'll survive, but we've lost most of our food. When we get the RV back, we're going to Mission RV Park, close to where we're at. They have a Norcold refrigerator repair place there.
This is a hot, dry, dusty place, oh, I should add, crowded, also. The mountains in the distance are pretty, though, but I just haven't had the heart to take a picture of them. Hopefully we will get some good pix on the trip to Seminole Canyon.
Well, how was your day?
