Founder's Awards August 25, 2010, 06:20:14 pm Yahoo Message Number: 5231At this year's Kodiak Rally, Ron Hall did an outstanding job of making the arrangements with the Elkhart Campground (our location was great), drafting the program, preparing name tags, preparing the welcome kit, obtaining handouts from suppliers, arranging the visit to Jayco for the factory tour and focus group for the Kodiak chassis replacement, and then giving detailed chassis and house maintenance sessions.In addition, everyone has had front row seat to observe his day in and day out contributions here on the forum as a moderator.So, to Ron Hall goes our FirstKodiak Chassis Class C Yahoo Group Founder's Award for making an outstanding contribution to the success of this Group.Now, I think a second award is also appropriate.If one follows the broken Norcold fridge hinge affair, Greg Gimlick has stuck with it through thick and thin for the last 6 to 8 months.He organized our Norcold poll and continually followed up with his contacts.Then, he obtained a supply of support brackets and mailed them and installation instructions to everyone who had requested one.He paid for the padded envelopes and postage out of his own pocket.Given that I experienced a fridge door falling off when the hinge broke (the day after we raised the issue with Jayco at the Rally) I know the frustration of holding a door in your hand and wondering what to do next.So, to Greg Gimlick goes our SecondKodiak Chassis Class C Yahoo Group Founder's Award for his persistence in getting a hinge fix for us.On behalf of the members of the Group, thank you Ron and Greg. We appreciate your efforts.Don Quote Selected

The right side hingesran out quickly as apparently there are more of those in our rigs thanthe others.BUT, if you need a left hand hinge then you are in luck because I haveone hinge left. If you look at your door and the hinge is on the left, then send me your address and I'll send the last one out to you.Take care, Greg Quote Selected

In my case it was being lucky instead of good - again. We did have acouple of guys let me know they were trading their units and wouldn'tneed the one that was designated to go to them. Had they not been soconsiderate, I would have not have the last couple to send out.Unfortunately now, the well is dry.Take care, Greg Quote Selected
