  1. I suspect the situation you referred to was original owner and she bought this used. However, I have passed it along and she has contacted the local Ford/Lincoln dealer where where she has bought a number of new cars including the Navigator she drives now! Thanx for the input!
  2. So my sister was taking her 2016 Winnebago with 41,000 mi on in for some minor coach adjustments when the engine blew! She has extended service contract thru Wholesale Warranties who want to use a LKQ remanufactured engine. Her longtime RV mechanics claim Jasper is a better product. I am familiar with Jasper as I used a rebuilt transmission from them about 15 years ago. I had no issues with it but that is statistically insignificant sample size. The Jasper engine is about $1500 more then the LKQ quote. So anybody out there had experience with either of these companies. I would be interested in feedback of any kind! Thanx in advance!
  3. Yes I just found it too on about page 10 of this thread in 2006! about page 10 if you want to look at info in the thread. Wow time flies.!
  4. I am racking my brain but cannot remember it! If I do I will come back and post it. I had their app at one time and talked to them but some things changed on my part and I dropped it with both companies. I am pretty sure the name you are looking for is in this thread probably back in late 2007 or early 2008. Good luck!
  5. To follow up on what pepthedog posted last month. Here is a link to a posting Southern Cross made in Workers Wanted section of this forum last month! http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=105925 It appears they have a need now that makes them more responsive to those interested in applying!
  6. Well the vast number of folks on this forum are RVers or interested in the lifestyle. This work normally involves limited time (months, maybe a year) at a work location so an RV is an asset. But, I have never understood that they required it and they do have a number of jobs that are not so mobile. Look at their website for some more info.
  7. For what it is worth - I have followed this thread for 5* years and seriously considered working for them until about 3 years ago! I gave up on that due to some totally unrelated conditions. John Beale, I would characterize my health and condition same as you and, based on my info on this subject, I would not hesitate to work for them. (I will be 70 next month, and walk 3-4 miles most days.) If it fits your objectives I would recommend you go for it! But, it has to be your decision!
  8. While I have not worked for SCC, I have followed this thread closely for 5+ years and was ready to go to work for them about 4 years ago when some unexpected changes in my life precluded it. What Barney says is much more consistent with what others have said then what ontheroad99 has said. You need to understand what their expectations are and if it fits your needs and expectations. If my circumstances allowed it I would expect to enjoy working for them.
  9. You can Google Southern Cross Corp to get the contact info or read back thru this thread which has been going for several years. The company is right outside Atlanta GA. There were some new contact names last summer, but same company, just the normal shuffle in a corporation. One rule that is mentioned thru out the thread you have to be persistent. They seem to respond more to the squeaking wheel so don't just submit the info then expect them to do the rest! Follow up on your paperwork once submitted, be polite but persistent seems to work. Good luck!
  10. I have replied to a workamper job with SC.....But have heard nothing back ..do you have a phone number Thanks .......Lonnie

  11. Well congratulations and good luck. Let us know where you end up and how it goes vs what you expect!!
  12. FYI - Bob Arnold, the guy that started this thread years ago is no longer on the forum so you will not hear from him. However, all the answers & info you need is in this thread. The key is to submit your application and then follow up again and again with the company. The application is on their website which is listed in the thread a number of times or you can Google Southern Cross corp. Barny has a replied a day or two ago and is with them and may be a good resource too. He has posted informative info since he started with them several years ago. Good luck.
  13. While it may be tedious, all the answers to your questions are in the previous posts. Hopefully Jan, a previous employee of Southern Cross, or one of the guys now, or recently working, for Southern Cross. I seriously looked into working for them several years ago and submitted an application but for unrelated reasons withdrew my application. The one message I got out of this whole thread and my limited efforts is if you want to work for Southern Cross you need to be aggressive about following up on your application. The contact I was given has moved on (e.g. died, I believe) but there is his replacement somewhere in the thread. If you are in decent physical condition and like working outside in not too strenuous work, this may be for you. I still have it in the the back of my mind, if my circumstances allow it. Hope this helps you; I expect you will get some more current info shortly.
