We made it into Shipshewana last Friday, got our mandatory cookie from Boundary Waters Cafe in Sturgis, Ben's Pretzels in Shipshewana, and got the trailer ready for service at Paul & Kay Cross's Indiana Interstate Enterprises. Paul & Kay got us in & and out on Tuesday where most of the work was literally rebuilding the brackets on the kitchen slide that had bend or broken. Turns out the problem with the frig was a bad ground. Paul rewired the switch Steve Schrock had installed so the frig exhaust fans would run automatically or we could turn them on manually if we felt the need to do so. Oh, and we have a working washer/dryer combo unit, again! Stayed overnight at the shop & got an early move on Wednesday to Angola, IN to wait out the worst of the rain and plan our trip down to Fredericksburg.
We plan to move tomorrow (Saturday) with stops in Streetsboro, OH; Bedford, PA; and we lucked out and got a campsite mid-week at Big Meadows in Shenandoah Natl Park before we head in to Fredericksburg KOA. Looks like we'll be moving in the rain despite my best attempts to not do so. (Rule-of-thumb: he who moves in the rain isn't the person who washes his RV.) So that prompted a call to Jeff at Central Virginia Detailing to arranged for wash & wax for both truck and trailer. Since we don't plan on having Purvis service our truck (never ever again if at all possible), we should have enough time to get the truck detailed during this stop at Fredericksburg.
So that's our plan. If it all goes well, we'll be out of contact Monday-Wednesday next week. Later, David
