Goshen, IN to Elkhart, IN 5/28/14

Wednesday, Day 26 of our summer trip.

We don’t have far to drive today.  We had made arrangements, while we were at the Escapade earlier this month, to have some work done on our trailer.  You see, a piece of the siding had come loose and we needed it to be repaired before there was any damage to the inside where we could not see.  We took it to Charger RV Repair for service.  When they looked to see what they would need to do, they discovered that that section of siding had not been caught with the screw and aluminum strip that was supposed to hold it in place.  There is a trim piece over that connection that hid that fact from us until it came loose, probably from all of the jostling and twisting that happened as we navigated through all of the potholes as we crossed country. This is what it looked like.  We were worried that rain would run down into the gap and cause something to get damaged and we would never know until it was too late.
 
 
The folks at Charger Enterprises, Inc. RV Repair services in Elkhart, IN said that they will be able to repair the siding and a couple other minor things tomorrow.  In the mean time, they have been very accommodating and have let us connect to their  30 amp. electrical outlet and park in their lot for the night.  Here we are, in our campsite for the night.



We toured around Elkhart for a short time and discovered that there is a railroad museum there.  They have many things to see.  The passenger car and the locomotive are among those items.
 


We went out to dinner then back to the trailer for the night.  We don’t know how long the repairs will take, so we don’t know if we will get to continue our travels tomorrow or not.  We’ll see.
