We have changed our plans and drove to the Tiffin Repair Center in Red Bay, Alabama. While in Joplin, Missouri someone broke one of our passenger’s side windows. It has a small hole near the center that looks like someone shot it. It could have been a stone thrown by a lawnmower working in the area. We have dual pane windows and only the outside glass is broken. Although there are a lot of pieces, it did not fall out because it is safety glass. I put duct tape on the outside to hold it in place until we got here. When I called Tiffin to see if they had a replacement they told me it only comes as a complete unit. We cannot have just the broken side repaired. So, they ordered a new window and we are now here to have it put in. I guess we were fortunate to be only about 250 miles from Red Bay when this happened. This is only a short detour and in a day or two we will back to our planned adventures.

Nice tape work!

The tape job doesn’t look as good from the inside.
