Today we drove from just south of Roanoke, VA to Souderton, PA, roughly 450 miles.
We stopped in Fairfax, VA and had lunch with the Malloys, always good to see them. They got about 6 inches of snow and Bob was sliding in the back yard with their friend's 6 year old son. Bob will never grow up, and that is why the Malloys are so much fun.
We like Cracker Barrels for stop overs and that is where we are tonight. We always buy either dinner or breakfast, it just seems like the right thing to do for allowing RVers to park overnight. We got dinner this time, the place was crowded, we ordered and waited almost an hour before our dinners came. The manager eventually brought out our meal. Our waitress was a pistol, she came over and said "what did he say?", I said not much...she was miffed and said, "he may not know it but he is buying your meal", and she refused to give us a bill. We put down a good tip and left, and we still like CB, other than they don't serve adult beverages.
We are here because I have an appointment with the service department at Fretz RV where we bought our RV. This was the first big trip in the new unit and there are a few things that need attention. One of the electrical switches for the fold out bed works some of the time, only one burner on the propane stove works and the tank level gauges have been intermittently throwing error codes. I am certain I could fix the switch and stove, but the gauges might need replacing..so we are taking the time to get it looked at. I called Fretz this afternoon and explained that we are passing thru, they were very accommodating and got us in for 10AM tomorrow. Frankly, I was surprised, the RV industry has a reputation for very poor after sale service....so far so good with Fretz. We will see.
We hope to get home tomorrow afternoon.
Taking care of business.
