The Latest Update

We left the South Carolina Good Sam Samboree and headed to Golden Isles RV Park in Bruswick, GA.  We only spent one night there,  but it was uneventful.  The next day we headed to NAS Jacksonville to stay for a few days to get the slide out fixed, again.  The parts were supposed to be there, but, when they opened the box, the part was the right shape this time, but several feet short.  They found that they no longer make the part we need, so it was decided to order another part like the one they got in, and splice the two to make the right size.  It was ordered from Cedar Creek and requested to be over nighted.  It did not come in and we waited until we had to leave to go to our Good Sam Chapter camp out.  We went to Wilderness RV Resort in Silver Springs, FL.  Nice park, except the sites are narrow and the roads are even narrower, making entry VERY DIFFICULT when you're 56.5' long.  I almost took a fence down with the side of my coach as the Residents are allowed to make their sites their own.  I doubt if Debby and I will go back there.  We were suppose to go to Thousand Trails in Orlando, but the part was suppose to be in on Monday, so we went back to NAS Jax and spent the night there, hooked up.  We went to General RV on Tuesday, and the part was not there.  The parts man called Cedar Creek and found that the part had been shipped, but UPS crushed it and returned it to Cedar Creek.  They then reordered the part and it came in on Wed morning.  General RV then proceeded to tell us that they could not get us into service, even though we have been dealing with them on this problem since April!  Once this problem is fixed, they will be last on our list to take our coach to, even though they have done good work.  Obviously, we are not on their priority list.  Hopefully you may have better luck with their service than we have.  We headed to Thousand Trails, Orlando and arrived safely on Thursday.  We have a nice site with 50 amp service.  So much nicer that the other Thousand Trails preserves we have visited.  Of course, our $12,000 membership is no longer the best and they feel we need to upgrade from VIP to Elete.  NOT A CHANCE!  This morning we woke up and were having our tea, when I heard a noise that sounded like an air balloon.  Looked outside and we discovered 2 air balloons giving rides.  I have attached pictures of the balloons.  You just never know what you may wake up to.

We will be here for the next 3 weeks, then on to the Escapee Chapter 57 rally.  After that, to the Florida Good Sam Samboree.  For now, it is time for some maintenance on the coach.  I re-sealed some seams last night, and will repair the steps today.  We received our Magne-Shades Wed, so I need to install them also.   We are really hoping that will help the heat when we are out west. 

Y'all travel safe, and I'll type more later
