Here we are parked on an old municipal airport runway that Tiffin purchased and made a campground for people coming to get repairs, both warranty and not. The ground is all rocks and dirt. We have been make notes and a list of things for repair under our extended warranty and figured that on the trip from FL to MI, between Jan and March we should be able to sit here a little and get work completed. The advantage of being here now is that Jan & Feb are their slower months, fewer rigs here to repair. The disadvantage is that people aren’t out & about talking, sharing experiences, sitting around outside. Having a dog to walk around does help with this a little. While Tiffin is large in this town and supports many other companies with work, this town of Red Bay is in the far north west AL with much of nothing around here for a good half hour. It is all of about a mile from the MI state line, blink while headed out the drive west and oops, went too far!
We are not having to boondock aka dry camp, we do have electric and sewer, but water is only available from a single location right now. Nobody wants things to freeze up, especially for those not use to it. We saw one person throwing water on their car windshield while the wipers were going, likely trying to get rid of the frost. Good luck with that, and not cracking the windshield!
Once we arrived, we saw one person the next morning to talk about our list and was told 2 weeks till we get into a bay for all these repairs. Then we had one person come by to look at the “3 major issues” that Tiffin is looking at on all rigs and repairing if need – on their dime! Well we are not happy that they found they need to do all 3 on ours, but we are happy to have those things taken care of. That may even help with some other items and “see” what is causing the other things.
I will add photos later / tomorrow as I know that makes the reading a little more interesting!
