A quick update for today.  We finally got in to have some small warranty items repaired.  They assign 3 technicians for three hours per rv and today we had one hour of service.  First thing tomorrow we will get the additional 2 hours to finish out our punch list.  Just little annoying things like:  stuck shower door,  front door seems to be acting up, cabinet door that exploded on us in the humidity in So. Texas and so on.
I checked on the repair work of the shark bit motorhome and they already have a complete front end cap installed and are installing hardware like mirrors and lights.  Just amazing what these techs can do.
When we were sitting in the waiting room a couple came in with pictures of their coach.  They had it towed 300 miles to Red Bay as the complete electrical systems were torched by a lightning bolt that hit a tree next to them in a campground.  The bolt destroyed a pine tree and travelled through the ground to his Rv where it followed the electrical service box into his systems.  It fried everything including the wiring in his big diesel engine.  He figures the tow alone would cost his insurance company over $3,000.   The overall bill is approaching $30 grand +.  All covered by his comprehensive insurance coverage.
We should be pulling out of here tomorrow at noon and hope to make Jackson, Miss. before dark.  We’ll keep you posted.
Here is a pic of Grandma relaxing before night night.
Love
Grandpa
