We're at the largest RV dealership/service business in the world .... BIG. When you come in for service (hundreds of RV's per day) they provide a HUGE lounge area for customers while you wait .. pets may be brought in and wait with you all day. Starbucks station is free; breakfast and lunch are free. There is doggie day care available (not free); but you see customers walking all over the building with their dogs, sitting watching TV or reading with their dogs, etc.
Then, if they are not finished with your service and need to keep your motorhome overnite, you are welcome to spend the night "in the bay". Now, this is quite a unique experience! First there is the sheer hugeness of being in a warehouse type structure, very tall space, about the size of a football field, with many other motorhomes in various stages of being worked on. By 6pm each day they make sure it is usable for the night (electricity, etc) and just leave all their tools, ladders, etc. wherever they are and vacate the building for you to come spend the nite.
Well, there are a couple of interesting things about this little "hotel" setup: the warehouse lights stay on all nite; you have to walk around tools and tool boxes everywhere; and one time at 11 pm a shop radio started blaring (took several men to figure out where to unplug it). Most campers have dogs so you have to walk and walk around these hundreds of motorhomes to find grass for the little poopers; you park your car right up close in front of your motorhome; and you have to be gone by 8am for the workers to return. It's interesting, and 'free' camping is a relative term.
There's 24 hr. gated security, so when you go and come to eat or whatever at nite you have to sign in and out .... we were 'bay 78'.
More later,
