Main heading where I’ll start putting reviews, of RV parks, restaurants, dog parks, places we go etc.

Lobster! In Maine…

We wanted to get real Maine lobster while on the coast of Maine, and there was a seafood restaurant within walking distance of our RV park.  It wasn’t on the water in one of the little coastal towns but it wasn’t as expensive either!

And, the food was great!  Here’s the link to my review of the restaurant on Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/demuros-top-of-the-hill-restaurant-southwest-harbor?hrid=zK_zc8zD1pHywU0enI5n3g.

And, here’s a picture of Jeff enjoying his lobster:

Fla-Net Campground; very nice

While in New Jersey we stayed about 40 minutes away from Uncle Tony and Aunt Lois.  There aren’t that many campgrounds in the area and this was the closest one that would take Laddy.

It was a very nice RV Park; the one drawback was NO TV!  We solved that when Aunt Lois lent us several DVD movies so we would have something to watch in the evenings.  Yea!

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.
