Thanks Marc -

Where is Wilmington?

-g

South down the coast. I think you'd need to go through the Marine base to get there. I think its 17 or 117 all the way there, through Jacksonville etc.
Wilmington is a nice town right on the river with easy access to the beach, prolly lots of tourists there this time of year. I think its about 2 hours from MC, might as well go ahead and drive to Raleigh (3 hours?) if you're headed this way anyway.

for anyone searching who lands on this post:

CamCo in Morehead City - very busy, you will nneed to make an appointment at least a week ahead of time.

Bunn's Auto Repair in Wilson - nice family-run business, very helpful. (252) 237-4449. Ask for James Bunn.
