Newbie Questions that scare him

As said, most shops are more than willing to work with you when the coach is your home. We tore up a transmission in our older Coachmen gasser a few years back, while passing through Kentucky on our way to Tennessee. The truck shop that we were towed to via Coach-Net ordered a Ford remanned tranny shipped in, since I didn't like the reputation of the local rebuilder, and the shop didn't recommend them either. Since it would be a three day delay for the tranny to arrive, the shop towed us to a local campground rather than making us live in their parking lot. When the tranny arrived late in the afternoon a few days later, the shop said they would come for the coach the following morning, and have it done by the end of the day. The weather was beautiful, so we spent the day at our site and walking our dog around the park. At our site, we had our toad, as well as our laptops, along with a supply of coffee, cold beverages, and snacks. The campground owner told us we were welcome to use the lounge in the office if we wanted to. At lunch time, we just drove to a nearby restaurant. The shop called late in the afternoon to let us know the coach was done, so we packed up and drove to the shop to pick it up. After spending one more night at the campground, we continued our trip as planned. Since we rarely make reservations, we had no cancellations to deal with, and only needed to let some friends that we were planning to visit know about the delay. We took the whole episode in stride as just one more "adventure" on the road. Other than the cost, overall it was not a bad experience, and we did get to see the "Col. Sanders Museum" that we likely would have missed otherwise. :)
