Day 20 - Enough Fretz'n around...heading for Home.

Friday we, I mean June, made a good breakfast in the RV and then made our way to Fretz, which is just west of Philly.











Fretz is an interesting place. RV dealers today are all about presentation, fancy show rooms and camping stores. I give Camping world and Pete's RV as examples. Fretz on the the other hand is like the place has not changed in 30 years. It is kind of dumpy, the store is pretty disorganized, they even have a section in the store where they sell cowboy boots.  The service area is across the street and is just an office with desks for the service attendants and three or four service bays attached to the office. That being said, it was a positive experience.  They jumped in our RV and took it away, they must have more service areas off site. We were there 3.5 hours in all, but they took care of the bad sofa switch and cleaned the orifice on the propane stove so both work as designed now.   Since the tank sensors were working again when we came in for service, it was hard for them to diagnose, so they checked and tightened all the connections, but I suspect I will see this problem again. Overall, I give them good marks for customer service so far and their inventory and pricing is the best in the northeast, in my opinion.

We departed Fretz about 13:30 for home, traffic in the Philly, NJ, NYC area is what it is...it sucks.  We hit two traffic jams, one for construction and one for an accident. Despite what my buddy George says, given a choice...I will take I81/I88 versus I95/I287, it is farther, but just less stressful.

After all that traffic and driving, we were thinking we would be hungry, so we called June's cuzs Keith and Deb to get some pizza lined up...gawd we are good at this...another free meal. We stopped and had a nice visit and dinner in Hudson Falls around 7PM.

After dinner with the Pattisons, it was an uneventful drive home on familiar roads with almost no traffic. Our traffic is something we don't think about day to day but after driving up and down the east coast, one gains an appreciation of where we live. We arrived home about 23:30, it was just about 32F, but after this trip we are kind of used to the cold.

Overall it was a good trip, the weather could have been better but we still enjoyed getting away for a bit and getting a bit of sun.

It is always nice to come home after a long trip.
