Stuck in Alabama

A planned week in Alabama to get organized has turned into a week and a half. We were all packed up and ready to roll out to Tennessee on Monday but the RV wouldn’t start. I spent a day and a half checking out everything I could myself (batteries, fuses, wires, etc.) then today had Good Sam send a flatbed. It was the entertainment for the day at the McCalla RV Park! We’re “camping” in the parking lot of the RV repair shop now. Of course once the RV was here, it started right up! Bouncing down the highway on a flatbed must have shifted the dead spot in the starter. The shop is going to finish fixing it up tomorrow and hopefully we’ll be on our way. We’re having them go over other things since we’re here. For some reason, the hot water heater isn’t working tonight, so I’ll put that on the list of things to check.

It’s been a nice stay in Alabama. The people are very friendly and my health has been good in this mountain air. We didn’t originally plan to spend any time in this state but I’m glad the winds of hurricane Jeanne blew us here. Next, we’re heading to Memphis. In my best Elvis impression, “Uh, thank you very much.”
