Earlier this week, my wife and I were traveling from Florida to Maine for granddaughter graduation from 8th grade - big deal now days! Noticed that we were near Sumter, SC, so I looked up these guys address and went to the shop. They were there and got my picture taken with Hal & Mr. Wilbert. These are the nicest guys you would ever want to meet! Only regret that I didn't get the other guys in on the picture. Please keep making enjoyable videos!

The TT didn’t seem to have a lot in it (no books, clothing scattered) and there was a heavy generator on the back of the TT which could’ve made it tail heavy & susceptible to swaying. It is possible that the couple had already salvaged clothes etc. but it still seemed rather empty.
