Mathis Motor Inn & RV Park, Mathis, TX -- 12/30
We were dry camping at Hondo, and our last night there our batteries went REALLY low; so low that we were running around with flashlights before going to bed early! We thought it wise to stay at a park with hookups, and remembered this rather sleazy Passport America park where we had stayed once before. It made a convenient one-night stop on our way to Donna (we still planning to spend the month of January there).
Unfortunately, when we arrived, one of our slideouts refused to extend all the way out; nor would it come back in. We called a nearby repair shop (Maximum RV Repair) and one of the owners, along with a worker, came over and basically brute-forced it out so we were set for the night. It turned out that he was also co-owner of the companion RV park behind the repair & sales shop, and he encouraged us to come over and stay there and get the needed repairs done. We thought this sounded like a fine idea, since that slideout had been an on-going source of worry for at least of couple of years, and we would be nothing short of elated to finally get it behind us.
