MARION, NC: Now We Wait

The last two days were spent traveling to Marion, NC and Tom Johnson's Camping Center where we bought our American Tradition motor home.  Last week, the dealer agreed to replace a part in our power management system which may correct the problem we've been having with the rear A/C unit. The part has arrived and now we have to wait until the service department has the time to install it.  We have no scheduled travel for the immediate future and had already planned to stay here for a few days after the part is installed to make sure the problem is fixed.  Today, the service department manager waived the camping fees for us on this trip since the repair process has gone on for so long ......a nice bonus! 

As mentioned before, this is one of the nicest places to come for service.

 



 The campground is immaculate, there's a mountain river on one side,  mountains visible all around, good food available in the cafe,  nice people to work with, and plenty of places to explore if we get the urge.  We already had plans to meet up with friends who will be here on Friday night. Today we found out other friends, Bob & Sue Makey, are here for further punch list items on their 2014 American Tradition that they bought the same week we bought ours.  We've already had one visit with them, and look forward to more since they'll be here until Sunday.  Spending time with friends is always a treat.

We're in site #58,  the second site from the left in the second row from the top of the picture, which is near enough to the service center offices and cafe to get free Wi-fi use in the coach- another plus!  The only negative thing will be the few TV stations we can pick up with our antenna.  but we'll choose having free Wi-fi usage over TV  reception any time. The service center has a large screen TV with satellite service we can watch during the day if we feel TV-deprived.
