East Coast Bound--Day 13

A great greasy burger and a fix to our slide problem.

Got around this morning and headed out. We pretty much walked ourselves out yesterday so today was just some discount shopping, lunch and then back to the coach. We had seen an Outlet Mall along Interstate 95 on our way into Savannah last Saturday. We drove back over there and, sure enough, they had both of our favorite outlet stores. Bonworth's for Joanne and Beall's for me. We both found something we liked. Afterward we jumped on the Interstate and went back down to downtown Savannah for lunch. Yesterday we noticed a Five Guys Burgers & Fries location down on the main drag through town. I watch the Food Channel show "Diner's, Drive-In's and Dive's" and they had an episode recently on one of these places. It was a pretty good greasy onion burger but I have to say I've had better.

After lunch we headed back out to Tybee Island and the coach. We relaxed this afternoon while waiting for the repair tech to come out and put the new motor in our large bedroom slide. As was mentioned back on Day 2, we have not had the use of one of the bedroom slides. Fortunately when the slide motor failed it was in the "in" position so we could still drive the coach. The smaller slide would go out but not the large one with the bed on it. We've been having to shinny around the end of the bed to get to the closet and other cabinets. The Techs at the rally last week determined that the motor was shot but they did not have a replacement on their parts truck. I had them order us one and ship it to our friends house here in Savannah. It was here when we got here last Saturday. This evening we had a local repair tech come out and install the motor. This required him to disassemble the box under the bed that protects the slide equipment. Here is the tech working away. Lightened my wallet a bit but at least we can get around in the bedroom now.
