Every good road trip involves unplanned destinations, I’m told. After arrivingĀ at a trailer repair place in Willits that stopped working on trailers 8 years ago, a rather apologetic fellow provided me with an ordered set of two business cards.
As it happens, the ordering was correct, given that Phil of Parshey’s worked me into his schedule the next morning, and would have seen me earlier if his workshop and parking lot weren’t already full of trailers. Phil also told me of a nearby fairgrounds to spend the night in Ukiah. The second shop never bothered to call me back.
Upon reflection, I think perhaps the appearance of the business cards should have clued me in.

Since I’m on the subject of trailer repairs, I’ll also point out that Vinnie’s Northbay Airstream repair in Santa Rosa is excellent (and another one-man shop).
