Day
7 – Friday June 17, 2016 The Tiffin employees start early so we
got up about 6:30AM not knowing when they would come by to discuss
our repair needs. Their procedure is to come by your site early the
morning after you check in and your paperwork is processed. By 8:15AM
two different employees had came to visit us. One to tell us one of
their recalls for defective roof rails did not effect us and the
other to discuss our requested repairs. We might get the windshield
replaced today but the windows and slide issues will probably be
Monday or Tuesday which is much earlier than we expected.
We
got a call about 10AM to go to service bay 46 to get the windshield
replaced. I stayed and watched the process. By 11AM they had the old
windshield out and the new one in. Then they broke for lunch and
glued the windshield in after their lunch break. I met Lena at the
customer lounge. About the time they were ready to have us pull the
motor home out of the bay a thunderstorm with heavy rain came through
so they waited until after the storm passed. We got the MH about 3PM
and set it back up in our site. Then we went to the Piggly Wiggly for
some eggs and to 4th Grill and Restaurant for a late
lunch/early supper.
Day
8 – Saturday June 18, 2016 Today was a slow day for us. Tiffin does
not work on weekends so nothing will get done until at least Monday
and probably later. We went to the local Farmers Market about mid
morning and only one person was there so we went to a produce stand
on the main road into town and got some peaches and tomatoes. We
checked out the other three small campgrounds in town that take the
overflow when the Tiffin Service Center Campground is full. Then we
returned to the motor home for the day. Several more motor home
arrived for repair service. We did some reading and relaxed for the
remainder of the day.
Day
9 – Sunday June 19, 2016 We went to McDonald's for breakfast and
returned to the motor home. The owner of the motor home next to us is
from Colorado. He came over to talk to us. We shared similar
experiences about traveling in a motor home. Several more motor homes
came in today. The campground was full by the end of the day with
many more in the other campgrounds in town. Late in the day we walked
around the campground and stopped and talked to some of the other
owners.
Day
10 – Monday June 20, 2016 Today is wait and see when we might get
called into a service bay. We checked out the “scratch and dent”
store and talked to a man in the Allegro Club office about the
benefits of joining the club. It is a Tiffin Motorhome owners club.
About
10AM Trevor Nichols came by and measured for a dash mat. He has a
custom shop across the street and does a number of custom mods for
motor homes. We also ordered wheel well/tire covers. The ones I have
been using for years are a PITA. He is making some that snap on to
the side of the motor home with 4 snaps.
I
was cooking some burgers for lunch about 12:15 when we were called to
take the motor home to service bay 10 to get the slide lubricated and
two fogged windows replaced. We were back in our site at 2:45PM with
all our repairs done. Trevor came back and installed the new dash
cover and wheel well covers. We are happy campers.
