Where were you with your NEWMAR today?

[GlampDaddy]

Tomorrow is Mobile AL, then a Love's in GA. We're a few days from a small RV park in NC.

We are on our way to the Trustom Pond Nat'l Wildlife Refuge in Rhode Island...volunteering for the summer.

Short 10 day trip first to Dade City at Travelers Rest RV to get two vent windows done at Suncoast then on Titusville for Jeep Beach in Daytona and see our son and his new bride before he gets transferred to TX for his next station. Travelers Rest, 35.00 on Passport America. Good cable, great Verizon and TMobile. 9 hole golf course complete with wood storks.

Bish's RV Service Center. Time for all those annual service items on the chassis, generator, and Oaisis was well as the last of my warranty things that I didn't resolve myself. Might even invest in a couple upgrades.

Would love a report on how Bish’s treats you. We bought our coach there when it was Guaranty. Have not been impressed since Bish’s took over. Especially sad that they closed the rv park.

Will do. Luckily when I purchased the RV from them last May I was able to stay there 3 days while they were adding a few requested upgrades and fixing a couple of PDI items. Transfered my stuff between my old and new rig there as the pull through was enormous. Today I think they use it as overflow and to keep coaches that for whatever reason may require shore power plugged in. But, to your point, I wish it was still an option as I'd love to stay there the night before a service appointment.

EZ Daze RV Park Southaven, MS

This place is just south of Memphis and only 9 miles from Graceland and would be a good place to stay if visiting. We just stopped for the night and had a nice long pull thru.

Verizon 131/11.5
T-mobile 211/9
AT&T 26/15

Left Hilton Head and drove to Charleston. Staying at Oak Plantation RV Park. Has all the hook ups but the pads leave a little to the imagination. Lots of trees though. However, the road it’s off of is extremely dangerous to cross over.

Just got home yesterday, but stayed at The Great Outdoors RV Nature and Golf Resort in Titusville for 4 nights. Drove to Jacksonville to see our son before his next duty station move, saw a rocket launch from the back yard, (a little cloudy that day) and hit Jeep Beach in Daytona. This park is HUGE. From the entrance it was 2+ miles to our campsite and another 1+ mile from there to the dog park. Expensive for the site (which didn't look anything like the website) but nice shade and quiet area. Level pad, good T Mobil and Verizon signal, no cable but lots of OTA

Thought I would add a couple of shots of the HWH factory where your FWS mechanisms are made and their service area

Glad you got there on time and hope they fix you up. Could you inquire if they ever plan on resuming installations?

I didn’t talk to Paul (the owner) directly but the consensus is that AA installation is still on hold, primarily because of personnel shortages. It takes a great deal of training to get a proficient installer. It might happen in the near future as the factory has slowed down as the rv industry slows.

Is Paul still making the rounds there? He inspected the work on my rig in 2020 but last time I was there (last Fall) I didn’t see him around.

Actually got to talk to Paul this afternoon. He was getting around in a powered wheelchair (he was also walking a bit). He 86 now. Asked him when he was going to retire….not a chance.
Asked about AA installations and he said it was impossible to find good people to do the work right now.
Got the bill for fixing my AA and they charged me for 2 hours labor, they spent almost 6 hours on it, sometimes more than one person. And their shop rate is only $110/hr. Maybe they might consider offering higher wages, just sayn.

Pochahontas State Park, Chesterfield VA for four nights. Very quiet and relaxing place, with LOTS of tall trees…all day shade and very little Starlink. No Verizon, no TMobile, one bar ATT (8.2/2.1), Starlink intermittent on 20’ pole. But, it’s a nice place with good golf and excellent company!

I’m not sure I agree with your taste in “excellent company “. Hope you kicked his butt in golf.

Of course I did...which is very easy to say if you don't keep score!
