Up before dawn, sitting in a truck, back to where we started.

Monday, June 19th, 2017

Up at 4AM, we prepped quickly to get on the road and over to MorRyde before 6AM.  We were scheduled to have the SRE4000 suspension system put on, as well as shocks that we supplied.

We rolled in about 5:50am!  Perfect! The MorRyde salesman that was supposed to help us was on vacation, but they had another guy there to help us out. They pulled our rig in about 6:15, and got to work. We sat out in the truck with the cats, since pets were not allowed in the lounge. Luckily it was partly cloudy and not too hot.

Getting worked on

New shocks

We moved over to in the shade of the building, and sat and surfed our phones, I did a little work, and made a few trips back and forth to the customer lounge for restroom breaks and snacks.The cats slept the whole time. About 10AM, I went over to the lounge to inquire about lunch, and place our order.

At 11:30, lunch was supposed to arrive but it was a little late. About that time, they said our rig was ready! So we moved the rig, and I paid.

Moved out of the bay

Our new suspension, shackles and wet bolts!

Tony headed back to the lounge to get our lunch, and while he was gone, a guy came and asked us to move our rig so he could put a vehicle in the bay that we were close to. So, instead, we decided to take our lunch and go back to the campground.

When we arrived back at Elkhart Campground, we went back to the site we were in before. And behold, Jim Beletti, the Heartland Owners Club president & Nancy, his wife, were parked next to us! We saw them a little later, as they were headed to get a rental car and head to Chicago to catch a plane overseas!

We collapsed from the day and napped some. In the late afternoon, we noticed our friends Lisa and Dan were parked there at the Beletti's trailer, and I saw Lisa standing on the steps, so we went out to say hi. Turns out, they were rig-sitting for Jim and Nancy for a few days. While we were talking, a fellow Heartlander had come up to Jim's rig looking for help, so Tony offered to help him.

After a short visit with Lisa, Dan came home with food for them, so I headed back home and Tony and I had dinner.  After dinner, we headed over to get fuel and some things at WalMart.  We head out to Nashville in the morning!
