Not sure this is the right place to put this. Evan maybe we need a new section for Camp-Inn Visits?
Visit to Camp-Inn
We experienced rain in our galley and cabin while on our trip west so we took our Suite Retreat to Camp-Inn Thursday for a check-up and to purchase a dining table and the small chock blocks. Craig and Marty worked all afternoon trying to solve the untraceable leak. They kept at it and finally found how the water was coming in. In order to give the fix time to set-up firmly and retest in the morning we had an overnight in a Raindrop (with a/c) at Camp-Inn. We had a very quiet night except for the train) an in-door bath and shower and a chance to try a Raindrop and a/c.
We decided that we are very happy with the look, and inside and outside feel of our 550 and are not sorry we did not get a Raindrop and we turned the a/c off at 82 degrees and just used the fantastic fan.
In the morning we had some time to visit the National Wildlife Refuge in Necedah which was fun.
When we returned to Camp-Inn we found that Craig was still not satisfied that the leak was fixed and he was working on a way to observe the leak from inside the closed hatch. Ever the inventer: he set up a video camera inside and watched on a monitor while he and Marty soaked the tear again.
Then Craig was explaining the fix and the process when Betsy drove up so we had an interesting and enjoyable visit with Craig and Betsy.
Marty had also gotten the table installed, new bumpers for the small table and chock blocks ready to go. He also took time to answer my questions and give helpful advice and suggested the fire extinguisher which I had not thought about.
It was nice to see that the small table (usually put on the side) and the new dining table can be switched as we like the look of our wood table in the back near the rest of the wood and the dining table on the side matching the exterior.
I showed Craig the puck lights that I purchased (I forget who first suggested them) before our trip for the long storage area and the inside back cabinet (I had put them in with the sticky backs which promptly fell off in the heat we were in) Craig had not seen these particular ones and liked them and promptly provided screws and put them in for us -- one in the roof of each end of the storage area and one between the 2 cabinet doors in the cabin. They are a great addition.
So Suite Retreat is ready to go again and so are we – next weekend.
Thanks, Craig and Marty for your diligence and all at Camp-Inn you do a great precise job and are so kind and helpful.
Betsy, great to see you face-to-face and hope to see you at the CICO.
