Another month about gone! 

We are in Buchanan, MI now at the Mid Atlantic park, Bear Cave. It is a smaller Thousand Trails Park of only 171 spots and a lot of them are yearly rentals. It is a nice park on the St. Joseph River. It has been a lot warmer here but still nice. 

While at Saint Clair the General RV dealer had a party for all there. They gave us pizzas and cokes. They also had a raffle and I won a director's rocking chair and a string of globe lamps. They had some great prizes including 2 Apple Ipads! Nice company. They are building a new facility near Lazydays in Tampa, Fla.  I understood him to say it was at exit 14 on I4. They said they were going to open in November but I don't remember if he said this year or next. General RV has 10 locations already so they are a large dealer. Tiffin considers them to be a quality dealer.

We went to the Entegra plant yesterday and took the tour of the manufacturing plant. It was a private tour as Linda and I were the only ones with Dave, our guide. We were very impressed with the coach and the management personnel. We met one of the owners and was even invited in to see the president. Looks like they  have the same open door policy as Tiffin. Dave, the rep that took us on the tour, happens to be the sales rep for Lazydays so we will see him again in October when we return to Florida. Even after the positive impression of the Entegra coach and management staff, it would be a push to leave Tiffin for another manufacturer. A wonderful coach and if your are looking, look at the Entrega.
