TRIP EAST

We arrived in Pennsylvania Sunday, October 3. Our first stop was in Morton, ILL at freightliner to have a problem fixed. After telling the service manager what the problem was he said he thought he could fix it in the parking lot. He did with a $12 part. We drove another hour or so and found the Tin Cup Campground and spent a couple of nights of there. We drove another 5 or 6 hours and found the Spring Valley Campground where we spent 2 nights and then drove the last leg of our trip. We are staying at Roamers Retreat Campground in Kinzers, Pa. We are about a ten to 15 minute drive to Travis and Lynn's. It all depends on the traffic and how many horse and buggies we see.



Our last few miles of the trip were a little interesting. We developed a problem with the air suspension on the motor home, it didn't want to hold the air pressure. When we got to the camp ground Vern didn't even shut off the motor home when we went inside to check in, because he didn't think it would be able to build up enough air pressure again. If that happens we can't move the motor home. Once we got set up Vern called our road side assistance with Winnebago and told them about the problem and they said they would send someone to check out the problem. In less than an hour someone was at our door. Unfortunately he couldn't fix the problem. He was able to put a part on that bypassed the air dryer, but would still give us air pressure until we could have freightliner fix it. Vern called freightliner and told them about the problem and they said others have had the same problem, but the problem wasn't the air dryer, but a valve. Freightliner said they would fix the problem. We have an appointment with them in November at their headquarters in South Carolina. We lucked out, because it is on the route we take to Georgia. They also have a campground there we can use while we're waiting for them to work on the motor home. While Vern was talking to them they told him about some classes they offer on the freighterliner system. It is a 2 day class and Vern is thinking about taking it.
