We made it to Hershey yesterday. The repair guy showed up about 5 and managed to disconnect the motors in the slide and we pushed it in manually. Then this morning, one of the staff at the campground helped Michael to create wooden blocks that hold the slide in place while we were on the road (while I took care of early morning laundry). They weren’t perfect, and we’ll have to tuck some of the insulation back into place before we hit the road again, but at least the slide stayed in all the way here.
Getting those motors disconnected was the hard part. They are located at the top of the slide on either side, so he had to be 10 feet in the air on a ladder, and they were so well buried in their niches that he really struggled to disconnect them. Ah well, we got it done and we’re on the road again.
Today we plan to visit Gettysburg. It’s about 50 miles from here, so it will be a nice drive.
Good morning, Vagabonds.
