Well, we should be back in Wi. by now, but when we took our camper into Camping World for 2 days, we were told after they took the slide apart that indeed we would need to now order parts which could take 3 weeks to get. Initially, we were going to go back to Wi. and get it all repaired there, but when we called Northpoint Rv in Chippewa they told us that due to the late spring they were soooo busy that they would not be able to fix the issues until late OCT.!!! We also called Keystone in Goshen Indiana to see if they would repair it on our way back home. We were told no...We initially left Tampa and headed north but when we got to Brooksville we stopped for the night at Hidden Valley campground (a PA campground) ($15) (bad campground)and discussed the issue further and decided to head back to Tampa and have CW order the parts and just get it done. Whew! A decision made! The weather in Wi. took a nasty turn anyway and they have gotten up to 2 feet of snow over the weekend. Glad to not be driving or camping in that. Kevin said there is no way we could get in the driveway at this point with all the snow they got. We are now at Tampa East campground ($23) (good campground) close to CW but it is also a PA park and can only stay 6 nights. So tomorrow we head to Haines city for 7 nights. Kevin's inlaws Fred and Vera bought a condo there and will be there for a week getting the place cleaned up and set up. We volunteered to help with manual labor. Gives us something to do while we wait around FL. We have met some of the neighbors around us here at Tampa East and as always at campgrounds people are mostly friendly. Pine Harbor in Chippewa has advised us that they will not be opening until May 4th which also contributed to our decision to stay in Fl and wait for repairs.
