Every wonder how cool it would be like to spend a day at an RV dealer - the amazing stories and experiences that you would get from customers and staff alike? Well, so did we! That's what Jennifer and I experienced after spending St. Patrick's Day at Leisure Time RV in Winter Garden, Fla. during our recent March trip south. The photo is some of the people who came from all over Florida to meet and greet us and tell us their stories. See the photo of this stained glass window? That's what one of the Florida RVers had added to his motorhome. And there were lots of stories. You can hear the results of our visit during our main interview of the newest Roadtreking podcast during which we talk to customers who provide insight into WHY and WHERE they roll as well as Leisure Time staff on WHAT and HOW those same customers get - and stay - rolling.

A greater force may be necessary to open the doors, increasing the risk of injury. Mercedes-Benz will notify owners, and their dealers will check the installation of the abutting wedge, correcting it as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in March 2015. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz Sprinter customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
