Well it's been way too long since I last posted on this blog. I have been reminded by a good friend John S. So I will try to catch up here now.
We had three items on our motor home that were covered by an extended warranty by Tiffin Motor Homes. We stopped on our way to Florida last fall and there was a six week wait to get things done. We made arrangements to have these items fixed when we headed to Florida this winter as we could leave a month earlier than we did last year. So we left Michigan on Sept 10th and headed to the factory. We found out before leaving that Tiffin was farming out these repairs to an independent company they had they had trained to do. So we headed there and had the three repairs done in four days. Wow, weeks less than we thought it would take. Then we headed to the Tiffin factory to have four minor warranty items repaired. This was done in what they refer to as an express bay. Whatever they can do in three hours can go to an express bay to be repaired. The scheduler came and looked at what we had to do at 10:00 AM, we got a phone call to be at door '32' at 12 noon and pulled back out at 2:55 PM all done. We had left a month early to go to Florida because we knew we might spend a month or better at the factory and here we are done with all the repairs in just 8 days. So happily we left and headed to Florida getting to our winter home on Wednesday, Sept 21. So we have been here seven weeks so far this winter.
While here those seven weeks we had a hurricane move up the eastern coast of Florida. The weather men had a field day telling us how bad it was going to be with high winds and lots of rain. Well we had one breezy night, not hurricane winds by any means, and only 1.25 inches of rain. So much for the big bad hurricane. Having not been through a hurricane before I didn't know what to expect, but was told by the locals that we dodged a bullet. Had the hurricane come onshore just another 10 miles or so it would have been much worse.
Well that just about brings thing up to date. I will try to post more often John.
