We noticed on the drive to and from Delaware that the steering on the RV was pulling slightly to the right. Plus the steering wheel has the logo "FORD" across it and it was pointing more toward 10 and 4 rather than 9 and 3. So after some searching online and checking with the campground we found a tire dealer in Norfolk that could do an alignment on an RV. We took it in and said it would take about an hour. So we headed off to breakfast. Used the gift card I got from the men's Bible study, breakfast was free. Thanks guys.
After about an hour we went back to the tire dealer only to learn that they had a re-do show up and we got bumped. We debated but decided to stick around rather than have to come back later in the day. About 20 minutes later our RV got a test drive and the guy started working on it. 30 minutes pass and another test drive and we figure we will be on our way soon. WRONG!!! The mechanic put the RV back on the platform and redid the alignment. 30 minutes later another test ride then, wait for it....back on the rack! So by now I'm thinking maybe they can't do the job but I'm glad the mechanic is trying to get it right. Finally about 3 hours after we arrive we are ready to go. We had been told the price of the alignment but I was afraid with the long time working on it we would be charged for the extra time. But true to their word the price stayed the same. I found out that RVs and big trucks are difficult to align and they do this regularly. I was happy and we were on our way. Yes, they got it right. No more pull and a true 9 and 3 look on the steering wheel. So I can recommend Harris Tire on Military Road in Norfolk.
We drove back to VA Beach and spent the rest of the day with Charlie and Betty. A great ending to a good day!
