Shakedown Cruise Over

Well the shakedown cruise has ended and the results are in. About 15 things to be addressed on iRV2 to make it the home we want. So, rather than going all the way back to Tampa for the repairs, we are  headed for iRV2's original home, Tiffin Motor Homes in Red Bay, AL.
There is not much to do in Red Bay. But we did visit the Coon Dog Cemetery. Yes, you heard me correctly. To honor his Coon Dog a fellow started a cemetery in 1937 only for Coon Dogs. There are now several hundred grave sites there. And there are some first class tributes to the dogs.

Tiffin at Red Bay is always an interesting experience. First, you get to talk to a bunch of fellow owners and learn about their various experiences. Second the staff here is very competent and knowledgeable about their product. Unfortunately, the process of getting things done is first come first served so getting the work done can be slow and frustrating. We lucked out getting some early attention to issues and then getting to the right people to get things fixed, we think correctly.
Finally, after a week and a half iRV2 got repaired and washed we were ready to resume the adventure.

So we have mapped out a plan to view the great northeast including Canada, that will no doubt change many times, and that's ok. So after a quick visit with the brothers and sisters-in-law, Dave and Mary II, and Mike and Terri we are off!
