Berrien Springs Michigan, & Elkhart Indiana
November 7 – November 18, 2022
Ahhh, finally, the purpose of traveling this far north, this late in the season – Elkhart Indiana. Our purpose was to have upgrades to the RV at MORryde. About 18 months prior, we scheduled this appointment (this was the first available), and MORryde assured us that it hardly ever snows the first part of November. Well that was entirely wrong. It snowed every day while we were in Elkhart.
We did get out a few times while we were in Elkhart. In case you were unaware, 80% of all RVs (trailers, 5th wheels, driveables, etc) are made in and around Elkhart – the RV Mothership. So, obviously, the RV museum is located here. We visited the RV Hall of Fame and Museum. I was a little underwhelmed by the museum. The museum had plenty of actual RVs, but was short on the history of RVs and Rving.
Did I Mentioned that it snowed everyday!
We own a Grand Design Solitude which is a 5th wheel. We toured the Grand Design factory and were able to see the construction of a 5th wheel in all of the stages of manufacture, which was very cool.
While the camper was getting upgraded brakes and suspension at MORryde and its annual service at Lazy Days, we stayed in an extended stay hotel with Ziva. It is was a good thing, since it snowed everyday and it was ccccccccccold!
We did make one stop at a brewery while in Indiana – Evil Chzech Brewery and Public House. It was OK.
We did get out and about, but had to bundle up because it was so cold.
We are finally headed south, and hopefully some warmer weather. Next stop Bardstown, If it isn’t warm there, then maybe the bourbon will warm us up!
