Still in Elkhart

Dilbert Oct 02, 2019

Yep, we're still here.  Hydraulics repaired.  We broke two lines (actually pinched two lines) Tuesday last week (Sept 24th) on the way in.  Total RV got us in on Tuesday (this week), got the parts Tuesday afternoon, and finished Wednesday afternoon.  (Obviously, we have high praise for them and their efforts on the trailer!)  They pointed out another plumbing leak for us to have repaired while it's at Indiana Interstate Enterprises (a.k.a. Cross RV).  Just due to the numerous preventative maintenance items that need to be accomplished and items that need to be repaired, we've decided to leave the trailer in Lagrange, IN for repairs (third year in a row - first time it's not planned, though).  We'll travel on to Fredericksburg, VA for doc appointments next week.  Should reach Fredericksburg on the 9th.  As we won't have the trailer with us, much more likely to make that date (see cartoon, above).

So that's the plan.  Tune in next week to see if we made it.  David

P.S. As disappointing as this is, we're probably extremely lucky.  I follow several people, businesses,  and owner's groups on Facebook that have various RVs & trailers.  Two of those families have totaled their 5th wheel trailers in accidents this week.
