Rest of the week at Red Bay

Chris Berry completed Mary's desk and installed it. Wow, it's really nice. See the pictures.

Brannon H. installed our cell phone antenna and the trick-L-start for the chassis batteries. I'm happy about that now. Should take care of the problems with batteries.

In the process he found a number of big wiring problems on our Bay,they were:

1. 250 A main fuse blown

2. Generator wiring wqrong so it needed the key to be on to start. that should not be.

3. Alternator out put was hooked up backwards so the chassis batteries didn't get the proper charge off it.

4. Aux jump didn't work because of the reversed wiring.

He fixed them all. We were to dumb to know we had a problem. we did know things worked different than others did, but didn't have enough information to understand what was happening.

Now stuff is correct.

Finally got into express service right away Thursday AM. Had the 250A fuse replaced, told the techs about the wiring issues and asked for a refund of the time Brannon charged us. That's only fair. Ended up they didn't do any paint fixes. just the fuse, checked the mid TV for bad wires, apparently were was some issue that was corrected. Again, couldn't make the BR slide malfunction. Ok well. Got out by 10, packed up and headed on out way home. Almost 6 weeks away. Had a great time and enjoyed almost every minute, met lots of nice folks, made some new friends etc. details of the fuel used, MPG etc to be added shortly.

April 19, return to Red Bay

Had a good time in Tupelo, sunday afternoon, we returned to Red Bay to get back in line for service work. As we arrived at the campground, we noticed everyone was outside talking, climbing around their coaches etc. Seems we just missed a huge hailstorm that went through about 30 minutes before we got there. It came from where we were, but we some how missed it all. Quite a bit of damage to roof vents and a lot of autos suffered hail dents. But, no one was hurt, although they were scared. we dodged another problem it seems.

Got number 295 this time. Still having issues with the bedroom slide, will try to get the paint touched up and some other stuff that didn't get finished last friday.
