Rockwood, TN; Sixth Night

Friday was an interesting day.

Overnight Thursday, there was lots of rain which proved that the slide still wasn't keeping water out.  Luckily we woke up and found the leak and pulled the slide back in.  Yesterday, after reporting this to the service people, and 2 visits from techs on site, Little House was again taken in for further study.  It was found that the leak was around the rear 'lock' mechanism on the long wall slide, and after more repairs, we moved back to the campground.  After extended periods of rain last evening and overnight, the problem seems to be fixed, so we're once again living in our fully extended RV.

Yesterday while the Discovery was being cared for, we took a drive to Rockwood via the back roads down the mountain and through the hollows to pay our respects to the local Walmart.  We followed that with lunch at Shoney's, checked out a laundromat, and headed back to reclaim Little House.

Two couples new to RVing came into the campground yesterday after purchasing new campers.  Dad was able to help both of them with "first-time" issues and questions.  There's a lot to learn when you enter this lifestyle, whether it be full or part time, and we've been on the receiving end of timely advice many times, and it's nice to be able to help others we meet.

We're still waiting on awning parts and repairs and a small toilet repair, so we'll probably be here until at least the middle of next week.
