Trouble in paradise with campers

Joe and Nancy arrived here on Wednesday and right off the bat things went wrong- the two living area slides will not go out on their camper.  They are able to get the bedroom slide out and have been able to use the bedroom and bathroom.  A service guy just showed up today and had bad news- they will need to move it to get it serviced as there are major problems with the wiring hooked up to the slide motors.  Since they don't have access to their kitchen (just the frig) we have been cooking for them, no problem. 
We have had issues with our new fifth wheel as well:  when Kirk tried to dump the black holding tank into the sewer, there was a loose connection which resulted in a flood (fresh water, thank goodness) in our basement storage compartment so everything we had down there had to be removed and dried out.  Then we discovered that our A/C is not working up to par.  A serviceman from Camping World came out late yesterday and fixed the plumbing and said the AC was fine- it is not doing its job today (temps in the low 80's).  Everyone in the park who stops by says that it is not uncommon to have issues with the campers but they are both new!!  Therefore, we have not done any of the fun things we had wanted to do when Joe and Nancy arrived, other than play bingo on Thursday night (no winners in our group).
We do have tickets to see the Oak Ridge Boys at the local casino tonight so that will be a bright spot in our week, other than the fabulous weather.  Kirk and I did walk in the desert this morning- it was nice and cool and we saw and heard a lot more birds than we do when we go later in the day.
Hope everyone is doing well back home- miss you all!
Here we are in front of the new camper with the sign Nan got from CESA 9.
