Okay, I know pretty much every day is a "new experience" in this lifestyle we've chosen, but this one deserves a little reflection. We arrived in the Tampa area at the Lazydays campground to enjoy the sights and get a little final warranty work done on Max while we are here. Little did we know, but it turns out Lazydays is somewhat famous nationally for their RV sales and service business.
After enjoying a quiet weekend and terrific evening visiting with family, we took Max over for our Monday morning appointment at the Lazydays service center. Our service experiences so far have been very "hit or miss", especially with a rig as big as ours, so we were a little stressed. Nevertheless, we turned over our "home" to strangers so they could tackle our remaining warranty items.
As I write this, we have been in a service bay for 3 days now and the service techs are REALLY kicking butt and getting things fixed! Almost all of our items are minor things and none are preventing us from traveling, but maintenance and repairs are part of life when your house drives down bumpy roads. Instead of having to return to the campground every night and pay there, they save us a few bucks and just give us any hookups we need and just let us stay in the service bay. The only downside is that our roof satellite dish can't see the sky, but we have a portable unit that we set up on top of the car instead. We are far from alone as there are folks living in their RVs in the service bays around us (this place has over 200 bays!).
Lucky for us, most of our issues are already fixed and a few others are just awaiting parts being overnight air-shipped from Winnebago (what a great company!). Lazydays is offering us free breakfast and lunch every day and also has fabulous free seminars so we can stay entertained and learn more about using, maintaining, and enjoying our RV. We are anxiously awaiting the outcome of investigations into a few remaining repair items ... so stay tuned to the next blog entry!
