Where to stay and who to get to do some work?

We are going to be near Newmar next week. Plan to have some furnature installed by Carsile at Focus and have some measurements for some other stuff. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation where to stay while out there. I think we will need a campground with a bath house at least for the first night.

Looking for recommendations on places to get some work done out there. I need to get an inverter installed and have not had a chance to work on it. Any suggestions on places out there that may know the 99 DSDP?

Likewise have some plumbing issues like shower faucet assembly.
Appreciate any suggestions.
\
Also are there any good RV parts supply places out there that would be good to tour for ideas?

Never been out there so do't know a think about the area.
Thanks
Jim

I've stayed at PlayMor Campgrond (Bremen) on several occasions... it is a nice spot and is right down the street from Newmar and has bath houses. Newmar overflow parking has water & electric but no sewer although there is a dump station by the office.

Duncan RV is in Elkhart and works on Newmar Coaches.

Newmar could do your work but you need an appointment.

No harm in giving Newmar a try - I called on Tues. a few weeks ago and made an appt. for the following Monday.

Work was done fast and at a more than reasonable price.

Check out Factory RV Surplus.

Great people and they can help you find anything you might need. They are located in Elkhart on the north side of town on State Road 19.

I was at RV Surplus a couple weeks ago and they are very full. With all of the surplus supply at defunct manufacturers their shelves are stocked. With the exception of a chassis, I think you could build an entire RV there. I did see an Allison Trans there one time.
