Red Bay, Alabama is home to Tiffin Motor Homes, the manufacturer of our rig. It is where our motor home was built and where one comes for maintenance if it is a problem unique to Tiffin or if you don’t have access to a good local supplier, which we do, but as we are en route home, we thought we’d give it a try.

The way it works in Red Bay is that maintenance is undertaken on a first come, first serve basis, unless it is a specific problem when an appointment is made.

We arrive on Saturday afternoon to find the Tiffin RV campground is totally full (some 90+ sites) and all-around town there are motor homes parked everywhere! We are sent to another campsite and find 15 more Tiffin motor homes parked.

Apparently it is Tiffin’s busiest time of year as full-timers want to get stuff fixed before they head to warmer climates for the winter; and, there are a lot of Floridian license plates with folks sitting in Alabama after Hurricane Michael hits their home state.

While in town, we popped in to see the organizers of the rally we attended earlier this month in Essex Junction, Vermont. They kindly provided us with a couple of photographs of all the volunteers which I’m happy to be able to share with you.

Here’s Mike and I en-route to our mandatory rally briefing alongside our fellow volunteers!

Here we are, the Essex Junction volunteers!
