When you own an RV, no matter whether it's a trailer or motor home, there are a few things that are inevitable. The first certainty is that it's going to depreciate faster than a falling rock. The second given, is that with all of their complexities, something(s) is going to fail, and need to be fixed. When it comes to your basic stuff, I can usually handle most things, that only require a wrench or screwdriver. When it comes to things like refrigerators, especially when there are still warranties in effect, well, that's when I take the motor home someplace else. Thus, the reason for our stop at Duncan RV Repairs, here in Elkhart, IN. The staff at Duncan have been most pleasant, and our tech, Dan Snead has been a pleasure to work with. The ladies in the office, Angela and Alice, have spent a lot of time on the phone with the refer manufacturer Dometic, and with our extended warranty company, Monaco Extended Care. Duncan had to make two trips to Dometic, which fortunately, is located here in Elkhart, because Dometic sent the wrong parts. Our experience with Duncan has been extremely positive, and I will be glad to recommend them in the future. When you combine good service with a spacious place to park, that includes electric and water hookups, and a dump station, you have a recipe for repeat and referral business. The other photo is a building that resembles a huge barn. When we were here not quite 2 years ago, this Farmers Market had just opened. The building is worth stopping to see. Huge timbers make up the basic construction, and the inside is filled with many Amish vendors, selling everything from homemade crafts, to beautiful Amish handcrafted furniture.
Maybe it's a sign of the times, but we were disappointed to notice that there weren't nearly as many shoppers as there were a couple of years ago.
Today, we head for a Thousand Trails Preserve that's east of Cleveland. Should be about a 250 mile drive.
