When I made the original contract with Packrat back in September, I gave them the wrong destination zip code...for Henderson, NC not Hendersonville, NC. How this happened I cannot fathom, but I made them play me the taped phone call and sure enough, I did. I did say the word Hendersonville several times, and the agent should have caught the discrepancy but she didn't so there is blame on both sides.
Evidently Packrat does not deliver to Hendersonville because it's too mountainous so we wouldn't have been able to use them anyway. Our unit is sitting in Raleigh, NC and what we are all trying to arrange is for it to be transported to their Charlotte, NC facility and then trucked to Hendersonville (at great additional cost, I might add!) The supervisor in Raleigh is trying to reach the supervisor in Charlotte but has not been able to, so he has asked his boss to intervene. We are four days into this negotiation!
We will stay here in Fayetteville tonight, but then the nighttime temps are going into the 30s so we are going to travel about 200 miles south to get to some nighttime temps in the 40s again, unless we hear from Packrat today with news that we should start traveling north towards Hendersonville.
In the meantime we have decorated the main living area of our rig for Christmas including a tree! We have also finished our Christmas shopping and will start packaging up for mailing boxes. Folks have asked us where to mail our gifts to, but right at the moment I have no idea! It will be to General Delivery at a post office where we land for the holidays, but it's too soon to say for sure.
