New Couch

While in Red Bay, Alabama, where Allegro Motor Homes are manufactured, we have been referred to several people, all Tiffin Motor Home employees, who deal in Allegro Motor Home parts, repairs, and furniture on the side. It's a big market, which is apparently condoned by Tiffin.

Our living room couch has needed replacing for some time . . . the cushions are like big marshmallows and the fabric is showing wear. We ran across a young man who has 'near new' RV furniture . . . acquired when RV owners buy a new unit but want a different piece of furniture. The 'used' piece ends up in this young man's inventory.


He made us a deal we couldn't refuse on a 'near new' leather couch, which we had him install in "The Bus". So now we have a new couch in our living room.












Carole finds the new couch to be much more comfortable than our old couch. When she sat or laid on the old couch, it was so soft she sank in to the point where she had difficulty getting up out of it. The cushions on this new couch are firmer so it's easier to get out of. Now she'll probably fall asleep in the living room watching TV and I'll have to wake her up to go to bed.








The new couch is the last thing we are having taken care of in Red Bay, so tomorrow morning we plan to unplug everything from here and head for Kansas. We've been on the road a long time . . . it will be good to see our family and friends back in Kansas again.
