We left Berwick on Sunday, Nov 10 around 1000hrs and traveled ~300 miles to the KOA at Staunton. We stopped at a rest area in VA for a sandwich and had to repair the umbilical cord which had been draging on the road. Monday we traveled ~275 miles to the Baileyton RV Park in Baileyton, TN. We stopped in Wytheville, VA for fuel and food. Diesel was $2.52 the lowest we paid. Tuesday we travelled ~250 miles to Lyerly, GA and the home of Bea & Bennit.
Bea & Bennit have 3 full hookup sites on their property.
Wed and Thur. we visited and took rides around the countryside. This area is rich in civil war history with many old churches and plantation type houses. The temps got down into the mid twenties the first two nites and the bedroom heater quit working. Thank goodness for 50 amp service and electric heaters. Bennit has had a rough year. 95% blockage of his main artery, >85% blockage of 3 other arteries, a mild stroke and a couple other things. He is getting around slowly and has a little problem remembering some things. all in all he is doing pretty good.
Friday we headed south ~275 miles to Tifton, Ga and the I75 RV Park. This is a fairly new 14 site park with all pull through sites. Saturday we traveled ~275 miles to the Lazy Days RV Park at Seffner, Fl. Sunday we went to lunch in Brandon at Ichiban Japanese Buffet. After lunch we moved to the LD service area park.
Monday at 1000hrs we met with Shawn, our service advisor, and went over the work to be done. Before noon the MH was on its way to the Chassis shop to get the transmission shift pad replaced. The MH came back to a different site around 1630hrs. The shift pad had been replaced but they miss installed the panel holding the pad. Tues they called around 0830 that they were ready to take the MH to the maintenance bay. We spent Tues. nite in the bay. Mid Wednsday afternoon everything was done except for the recall work and the door closure due to lack of parts. They knew back in Sept what would be needed but nothing was ordered until Monday. The site they put us in had a bad power pedestal and the EMS would only allow us to run one AC unit. Oh, the parts may not all be here until Monday.
Today we just chilled around the MH and after lunch we had them move us to another site. Latest info is that the parts might be here tomorrow. I’ll believe it when I see it.
We have been eating all our meals at the Crown Club. The food is just ok, but its free.
That’s it for now.
