This may be a long one, so stick with me, it's amazing at the end. So I'm here from Michigan in my…read moreoooooold truck bed camper. Without giving up too much, I've had some health issues and needed something for my soul, I decided a trip was it.
Yesterday around 5:00, I stop at Peace Park to refill a small water container with a spigot. I park, and getting organized... I look outside and MY ENTIRE CAMPER ROOF METAL HAD PERLED BACK LIKE A SARDINE CAN!
People, this is not in my knowledge base, nor wheelhouse on how to fix. I am a problem solver, I'm a mom, a teacher, I can duct tape and hanger repair with the best of them (Thanks Mum!). Not this.
I feel blind with panic, I call Mum, husband. Then I decide to just try to find inner calm and think. I pick my head up, look across the street and there is Eastside RV Liquidators in Tucson. Across the street.
So, I grab my wee dog, and I dash across the street. It's 5:20, it says they close at 5 (Luckily I didn't notice and all of my panic.). The door is shut but not latched, I swing it open and come spilling in. Immediately I am tears, uncontrollable high pitch voice begging for help. I tell them my story.
These people, I can't even begin to explain. The owners (Mark and his wife), the technicians (the AMAZING Esteban and Frank). ON THEIR OWN TIME, after work, Esteban and Frank fix it for me, with Mark's permission and company. They sent me on errands what I would need, and had me show up at close. They stayed an extra hour and a half to help me, even fixing my vent so it opens, and fixing some stuff inside.
Then, Esteban didn't want to accept any money because he knew of my situation. Literally some of the kindest, most stand up men I've met. I had already budgeted money to give him, which he, VERY RELUCTANTLY accepted. What he did has value, I wish I could give him more (Feel free to send Esteban some moola if you can, just for being a great guy!).
Then after all of it, he sent me a message thanking me and telling me what an honor it was to meet me.
If you need an RV, camper, WHATEVER for your RV or Trailor needs, these are men that you can trust. And that's rare, give them your business.
Thank you Esteban, Mark (and wife), and Frank. You made my continued dream a reality, and you reminded me that there is kindness everywhere.
