We had to get a repair done to our travel trailer while in the D.C. area

A couple of weeks ago when we drove from Charlotte NC to Williamsburg, VA we found that our bedroom slide wouldn’t go out.  It was stuck in the “in” position.  We called a local repair shop and took it in to them, but they found that they would have to dismantle the whole bedroom to get to the motor and track to find the problem.  They were a busy shop and said they do the work.

Since we were in a fairly rural area and there were no other repair shops around, we waited until we got to the D.C. area to find another repair shop.  This meant we had to crawl around in the bedroom (at least the bed doesn’t fold up so we could still sleep in it!!) and it meant we couldn’t get to some of our clothes, but it was manageable for a while.

So, once we got to D.C. Jeff called around and found a repair shop certified to work on Coachmen products and we scheduled a day to take the trailer in.  He explained that we live in the trailer full-time and we couldn’t “drop it off” and come back several days later to pick it up, and the owner said they would make sure the repairs were finished and the trailer back to us that same day.

Well, it took them 9 hours but they delivered on the promise!  It was past 8pm when we got the trailer back, and his guys helped us hitch up and get out of their lot in the dark.
