At least our home on wheels.  The electrical problems we encountered as a result of the blowout in NC took us out of the trailer while we were in Hampton VA.  After calling around to different RV dealerships in the area, we were assured that the trailer could be fixed some time in May, but probably not before then.  Everyone was just too booked up.  Evidently, this is the time of year when everyone gets their unit out of storage and has work done to it so that they can be ready for the camping season.

We tried a specialty shop that worked solely on trailers (work and utility trailers), but because the damage included not only our 12-volt dc system but also our 120-volt ac system, the specialty shop foreman deemed the repair to be beyond their ability.  They gave us the information for a man in Chesapeake, VA, whose specialty was mobile RV repairs.  After calling him, he assured me that he could get to it right away.

He was as good as his word.  We took the unit to him on Monday and by Tuesday night he called me to tell me that the unit was done.  Besides the blessing of a timely trailer repair, the people of the First Calvary Baptist Church gave enough to cover the entire repair! 

By Wednesday, we were back in our trailer and glad to be back home.  After the opportunity to see some friends from college, we made our way to our next meeting in Acme PA.  Of course, during that trip, we had high winds that tore up the air conditioner shroud on our unit, but we should be able to have a new one installed before we leave PA for Broadview Heights OH.

The bottom line?  There’s no place like home, even if it is on wheels.
