Re: [A/S] Trip to Jackson Center



Jack,

That was a great post...... I really felt like I was there.  Thank you so 
much for taking the time to write it. I have never known what *really* 
happens when poeple go to Jackson Center.  

<<  13.  Pets are an issue you have to plan for.  One
 owner who had a blind dog stayed in the motorhome in
 the rear with the dog as it was being serviced.  >>

This is a real issue for me.  I can get the dogs out of the trailer of 
course, but the cats are another thing. When I was haing the auto sat dish 
and the Hott Rod installed at Camping World I had to stay in the trailer to 
make sure the cats didn't get out.

<Patty sat out in the van under the trees in the campground
 area.  The weather was cool enough although we
 probably would have run the air in the van if necessary.  >>

She sat out in the van all day long?  I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea 
for Airstream to get a few kennels so people can park their dogs for a few 
hours. I know that sounds extreme, but they are dealing with a lot of people 
who fulltime with their dogs and it would be a helpful gesture,

<One couple brought their toy poodle into the waiting area.  They had the dog 
in a small travel
 bag and kept the dog quiet and in it. >>

Good for them.  My big dogs have been in waiting rooms all over the country.  
Ford waiting rooms, Walmart waiting rooms.... I can't imagine how a little 
dog in a crate could be a problem.

 <One person  waiting reminded them that the door sign said no pets. >>

This is a real button presser for me..... people who appoint themselves 
sheriff.

I'm curious, what did the person with the dog, in a crate do, when the self 
appointed sheriff reminded them of the rules?

Again, thanks so much for that well written detailed report, I hope the few 
changes they made will help with your air conditioner problem.
