I have rented a motel room for a day if the workload made it cost effective.......I have also found a local park and took my chair and what I needed and spent the day there.

sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!...................I have sat in the back of Walmarts lot at nite carving out sign orders for the next day!!!!......LOL

I've spent many a day working inside our rig while it's over a pit, or lifted up at various angles. It can be interesting especially in a wheeled office chair. :) Thankfully, we've had some really good shops that let me do so, especially for the extended stuff.

If we can't be in the rig, I might take our toad to a coffee shop for the day, or the shop's office / waiting room. Or we might just delay any work projects we can and concentrate on the unexpected hiccup.

Yay, we're back in the local campground, RV repair done!!

But, it was 2 long days of needing to be out of the rig as the repair techs had the rig jacked up and all the slides in so they could complete the repair on the axles, etc.

Day 1 - once we confirmed they were going to start the work, we grabbed the laundry basket, detergent, etc. and headed to the local Laundromat. I sat in the cab of the truck, working on my laptop, participating in conf calls, etc. Tazzy Kat hung out with me and really didn't understand why I didn't want her walking across the keyboard. After the laundry was done, we grabbed some lunch and we went back to our campground where had left the outside camp chairs and a small table, worked from there in the shade for a while, taking advantage of the power pedestal to recharge the laptop battery. Drove over to check on the progress of the work, stopped to say hi to Jesse and Sherry (WestWardHo) and then back to the campsite for my last conference calls of the day. It was a really slow work day, for which I was very thankful.

Day 2 - left the rig at 8, this time a little better prepared with lunch packed in a cooler, tennis shoes packed for the daily walk and different layers of clothes for making the time sitting outside a little more comfortable. Alternated working outside, moving into the truck cab whenever I had a conference call, it was too windy outside for people to hear me very well. Dale also packed some projects that he could work on, so it was a much more productive day for both of us.

Our outdoor furniture was invaluable to us and since we already had paid for a campsite that was just a couple of miles from the repair shop, it made it easy to hang out at our campsite. If it had been much warmer or colder, it might now have been as comfortable, but with temps in the mid 70's we were grateful to have sunshine and a place to work.
