We came into  Red Bay with two relatively minor needed repairs. The more critical one was the motor that drives our windshield privacy night screen up and down. Also a spline that keeps the front edge of our main awning attached to the roller has been slipping. Called Brandon at  Custom RV to see if he could fit us in. When we arrived I called as instructed and he told us to be at his place by 9 the next morning. Had to call back to find out where his place might be 🙂 

We arrived at 9 and there was another coach in the bay being worked on and they were running into a problem with some non standard wiring that someone had done when the coach was new.  They finally sorted that out with help from someone at Tiffin and by about noon we pulled into the bay for our turn. In about 30 minutes they had the shade rollers out, the new motor installed and everything reinstalled,, tested and calibrated. Brandon and his assistant then turned to the awning and were able to push the spline back into the track from the rear and insert the piece I had cut off into the front. Both pieces are now held in place by small screws.  

This left us time to spend some money at the Tiffin Parts Store and at a hardware store for various spares. We will be on the road tomorrow, back on the Natchez Trace Parkway headed for Rocky Spring CG near the southern terminus. Could be in Livingston TX the next day if we wanted to, Mostly likely at least one other stop along the way. 

I can’t believe I got out of a service bay for less than $1,000. Actually less than $300. This must be a new record for our RVing life.
