Okay, I guess it is time to fess up about why we are in Red Bay, AL. at the Tiffin service center and not still in the Pacific northwest enjoying the scenery.
Just as we got to Corvallis, Oregon in May, we pulled into a service station to fill the motorhome with diesel. In doing so we determined that the pumps were not really set up like we prefer so we decided to make a turn into another station just next to the first one. Unfortunately we got too close to a concrete pillar when trying to make the turn and did quite a bit of damage. Luckily no one else was involved and we were not hurt…except for the Phaeton.
We limped along for a few miles to make it to the park we were going to stay at until we needed to be at our summer job in Alsea, OR. Contacted our insurance company and they had someone out there within a day. We decided that we would rather have someone just patch us up so we could make it through the time we needed to be in Oregon and then get back to the Tiffin service center in Alabama to have the end cap replaced and the bay doors replaced.
The adjuster had a service tech at our site with 24 hours and he worked for most of three days getting us patched up. I have to say it is not pretty but it did the job and got us mobile again.
I have to say that Progressive insurance company has been right there for us and treated us very well. Guess whose rates are going up?
So, instead of going up into Washington state for several weeks after we completed our stint in Oregon we decided we had best head directly for Alabama. We did take our time and made several stops along the way to visit with friends but we pretty much kept the coach on a direct route to Alabama.
Washington…well, another time.
Moving on.
