Yesterday was suppose to be an ordinary short travel day, but in the RV world, many days turn out to be anything but ordinary!
When we opened the curtains yesterday morning, we saw that 3 semis and a number of RV's had joined us overnight. Behind us, were two elephants hobbled in a temporary pen, and there were 2 camels and 5 horses in one of the semis. As we prepared to hit the road, we found out that a small circus was giving two performances yesterday afternoon in the building in front of our site.
Over the last several moves, we've had some issues with our jacks not operating properly Hank has talked with American Coach support several times about solutions and they sent us the diagnostic manual. Yesterday morning, none of the jacks would retract which meant we couldn't move. The support team isn't available on Sunday, so Hank spent most of the day trying various resets, checking voltage readings, and researching online information. His last attempt was to tap on the jack motor while Selene pushed each button. And each jack came up!! We were free at last!
The day was not a complete loss. As Hank searched for repair solutions throughout the day, we were able to watch the circus team prepare for their event inside the building through the large doors in front of us. The elephants strolled by Little House several times going to and from the building.
We finally departed Concord about 4 P.M. and drove to Raleigh, NC where we're settled in at the campground behind the Hunt Horse Complex next to the State Fairgrounds. This is a basic campground with full hookups, gravel sites and roads, free wi-fi and regular security checks, and we've stayed here several times before. We're be in the area for at least 4 weeks while we take care of doctor visits, spend tiime with friends, and help with the Raleigh Hamfest.
