RED BAY, AL (Day 12). This morning early the TV analyst stopped by, but instead of working on our motorhome where we were parked, he wanted us to drive it to a location on the other side of the campground where there was a cable hookup. This meant that we must unhook, pull in the slides, stow everything for driving, and drive over there as quickly as possible. This was a rather impatient young man as well. After getting over there, I once again experienced the embarrassment of not being able to repeat the problem for him. Also been through that with garage mechanics on my car. Anyway, it worked fine, so we needed to hurry over to Bunk House RV Conversions to have them work on the new cabinet drawers they had made. While doing that, we mentioned the issue we had with the refrigerator. One of the men there took the panel off one side of the motorhome to look inside. There was a puddle of water on top of one of the water tanks in which lay an electrical junction box that fed the refrigerator. They managed to hoist the junction box up out of the water using zip ties, but the leak that produced the water was the drain hose from the kitchen sink. They said that would take a day at least to fix and they could not take the extra time. Our hopes to leave tomorrow seemed dashed. Once the drawers were fixed, we came back to the Tiffin service center and told the scheduler of service about our new information on the problem. She doubted anyone could get to it today. We drove back to our parking site to wait. We were surprised by a phone call from her at around 1:15 pm saying to come to Bay 10. After arrival there several men worked until about 3:15 pm and managed to fix the leaking hose and replace the damaged junction box. It was quite an effort by several men at once. We managed to check out and pay our bill by around 3:30 pm, and can leave here tomorrow morning for home. Everyone we tell about it say how "lucky" we are that it all happened here rather than out on the road where it is hard to find a service area this knowledgeable. We know, however, that Providence works in mysterious ways.
