Nearly caught up!

I last posted from Tiffin Motor Homes in Red Bay, Alabama. We were checked out by the service guys on Tuesday 6 November - a couple of seals needed a bit of attention and we were good to go.

Service Centre looks like a busy RV park

We shopped in Red Bay - at last found a Piggly Wiggly supermarket! Yep - it doesn't take much ....!
We are heading south east; planning to go to Savannah, Georgia. The weather is fluctuating a bit - some cold, grey days and then some beautiful days with cold mornings.



We took 2 days to drive through Alabama. It seems hard to believe that only 3 months ago we flew into Huntsville, Alabama to buy the RV. We have travelled more than 7500 miles and  are now back in the state.

Our trip to Tiffin was such a good idea.  We have not seen so many Tiffin RV's in one place before. We always look out for other Tiffin's on the road and in the parks, but this was something else! Tiffin produce 11 motorhomes a day and over 65,000 since they started business in 1973.

In Heflin we had a real frost; 30 degrees outside! It was a beautiful morning and warmed up quite quickly.  But the grass was very white and crunchy to walk on first thing.

Cotton fields

We ran into rain again. We are travelling on smaller highways; very pretty (when its not raining); farming country. The roadside is still clothed in fall colours with the occasional brilliant golden yellow or bright orange leafed tree.
On 8 November we cross the state line into Georgia and go forward an hour in time; we are now on Eastern Standard time. It is 70 miles to Atlanta but we ain't going there! We are headed for a small town called Perry and the Fair Harbor RV Park.

A few weeks ago we joined a club called Passport America which membership entitles you to a 50% discount at participating RV parks. So far we haven't found a participating RV park!  But that is about to change. The cost of staying at RV parks is probably one of our biggest expenses.  We belong to the Good Sam Club, KOA and now Passport America. The first 2 clubs entitle you to a 10% discount at various RV parks.

We get a rate of $22.00 a night at Fair Harbor which is great -  full hook up with power 30/50 amp, pull thrus, water, sewer, cable and free wifi.  Also showers, restrooms and laundry. We stay 6 nights!
