11:30: Stop at MM 37 on U.S. 23 between Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor due to GPS malfunction

14:25: Arrive at Airstream factory in Jackson Center, Ohio

14:40: Eray meets Joe Girard

I saw this motorhome on my way back to the Airstream factory. Can you believe it? A motorhome usually tows a vehicle, not a farm tractor down the road!

Here is how I will prepare myself for Monday’s 7 a.m. rise & shine: remove everything from the bedroom except for closet stuff, taking most of the hanging items (4 to 5 days at motel). Everything in the refrigerator can stay as they will plug the unit into electric.

Just like an auto, I will unhook things as they are now, drive the Airstream to the main office, park and take keys inside, create a work order (agree on payment), meet with assistant service manager and go over my concerns. Call Enterprise car rental. Remove everything I am taking (including Royce) and wait in the lobby for Enterprise.

Day 15-16
