Last June, at the North American Heartland Owners Rally in Gillette, WY, it was determined that Mammoth needed some TLC from the factory to repair some frame flexing. This meant a trip to Elkhart... Well, finally! We are able to make the trip during Tony's Spring Break.
We had to remove nearly everything from the 5ver to take it to the factory, so last week we brought her home and started packing things up and unloading. It took about 15 trips to remove all but the bare essentials. We determined it would be cheaper and easier on us to stay in RV parks going and coming, rather than finding hotels/motels with good reviews, affordable pricing, and parking for a Mammoth!
We also gave her a quick (2 hour) bath, including the roof.
Tony took off Friday, a rare treat since it was the day before Spring Break starts. We had the coach ready to roll, and we pulled out at 7:10am. Our goal was to be in Little Rock, AR by lunch, to meet up and visit with a couple of my former coworkers/customers.
We made good time, and got to the Cracker Barrel about 1ish. We had a good visit with Amy and Martha, then headed on to the Memphis KOA in Marion, AR.
Our site is not all that level, barely wider than the coach width, and it barely fits the truck and trailer hitched up, lengthwise. But it will do for overnight! It was 74 when we got here around 4:30. We opened the windows and enjoyed the breeze and birds singing. Once the sun went down, the temp started dropping, and cooled off nicely. There is a free pancake breakfast in the morning, then we head to our next stop, Effingham, IL. Temps are supposed to be in the 40s there!
