As I mentioned before, I had to layover in Russellville, AR for 5 days because of a RV mechanical problem.  I was in route to Eureka Springs, AR from Birmingtham, AL for a MSTA Rally and had hopes of arriving there later in the day.

Fortunately for me when I was checking out who to contact for assistance, I made the right call for help. I was stopped at a truck stop in Russellville, AR trying to figure out the RV engine problem. I phoned Mark Wilcox at the Wilcox RV Service Center.

With his assistance along with his service staff's help, we got the mechanical problem figured out with Mercedes in Bentonville, AR. Both unlucky & lucky for me, that while I was overnighting at the repair facility my first night in Russellville, a very bad water leak developed underneath and inside an enclosure on the RV. I was able to get it professionally repaired by a Wilcox technician.

I still had 4 nights to kill while waiting for my appointment at Mercedes in Bentonville, AR 140 miles away. So I set myself up at a nice local campground to spend the next four nights.

This was a stressful situation for me, but Mark (the owner of the RV repair facility & the campground) took a lot of the pressure off of me with his knowledge and recommendations with my RV problems.

As a super bonus, I was able to get a couple of days of scenic riding completed while staying at the campground in Russellville.   Mark. the owner of the RV Repair facility and the campground is also a motorcycle rider and provided me a Guided Tour of the surrounding areas on Saturday and Sunday.
