Warranty work in Coburg, Oregon



After the Safari Rally in Newport, OR and a brief stay at a "Thousand Trails" rv resort on the Oregon coast we traveled east to Coburg, Oregon to keep a long standing appointment with Guaranty RV Service Center to complete our list of warranty issues. We originally bought our Safari Cheetah from them in Coburg last year. Throughout the year we've kept a list that kept growing longer with "bugs" in the rv that you can't find until you live in it for awhile. This is our fourth visit and this should finally take care of it all.

When we're done here we will go about twelve miles down the road to Junction City, Oregon to have some paint anomalies taken care of at Guaranty's other service center. That should last through next week.

Since we're full-timing it in the motorhome we stay in it at night and then turn it over to the service guys during the day. The only drawback to this is that we have to wake up early like we did when we had jobs. EEEK!!!!

Today while we were wandering around to kill time while the motorhome was in the shop we paid a visit to Junction City. As it turns out they are holding their annual "Scandinavian Festival" for four days. We walked their streets looking at the local's wares and tasted some delicious Scandinavian dishes. Uhhh....no, it was not dietary food.

While staying around Coburg and visiting the Monaco service center (maker of our motorhome)we ran into two couples who we met at the Safari Rally in Newport. But the big surprise was running into Phil, a retired electrician from Tom's old job. The world is getting smaller everyday.

We don't quite know what we'll be doing tomorrow but life always seems to throw a little spice along our paths.
