Wednesday September 21st 2016

Today was a transition day. It had two purposes. First was recovering from more than a week in New Hampshire. I was continuously on the go during that period and it ended with a couple of days of irregular and short sleep cycles. A good nights sleep and a long slow breakfast pretty much put me back into RV living mode.

The weather in the Jacksonville area has cooled off a little while I’ve been away. The AC is able to cycle on and off occasionally instead of being on continuously from morning ’til night. This is a good thing because the other objective for today was starting the preparations for tomorrow’s travel day. I don’t have to stay near an airport anymore.

Tomorrow I’ll raise the jacks and move toward Alabama. My destination is the Tiffin Motorhome factory in Red Bay Alabama. It will take a couple of days to get there. Red Bay is the northwest corner of the state. With the first year warranty on my RV coming to an end soon, I want to get a few things taken care of at the factory service center. They do work on a non-prescheduled basis. You show up, put your name on the list and they schedule you based on the type of repair. My understanding is you need to arrive near the weekend to get a campsite in their campground. There are often many rigs waiting for service. This is an adventure that I’m looking forward to and dreading at the same time. I’m not sure what I’m getting into or how long I’ll be there.

One thing I am looking forward to is touring the factory assembly line. I wanted to get down last year to watch my motorhome being built but the schedule didn’t work out. I’ll at least get to see how similar models are put together. Other than that I’m not sure what I’ll be doing while I wait for service.
