Bought a New Class A RV today

[Hugh R]

Got a new rear bumper courtesy of the insurance Co. of the idiot who back into my one month old RV.

[Hugh R]

Finally after a few months, taking it to Carpenteria State Beach this weekend to test out the washer/dryer thing.

My travels have taken me in a different direction. Simplify:

We bought a new 2019 last week to replace our 2006. It was a painful check to write. We have it here at my brothers house for a ppi.

Washer/Dryer Combo works like a champ, you can barely hear it running. Small loads however, like two queen sized sheets and two pillow cases. Takes a looong time, 90 wash and dry cycle, but that's OK, uses about six gallons of water/load or about 10% of my grey water tank capacity.

Enjoy. I took the train home last weekend, and this was the view from Carpinteria.

Looks like a nice rig, Scott.
How did the PPI work out?

[Hugh R]

Pushed out the sliders and one wouldn't close properly took it to the dealer and he figured out, in an hour, it was a stray piece of rubber, in the gears, on the road Thursday for a month..

Very well, they found a broken blind and the door latch needed to be replaced. The dealer did all of that gratis of course and we took it to Lake McConaughy last weekend.

He saw my fly fishing sticker on the back window of my truck and we started talking fishing. Turns out he's from Maryland and does "deep trough" fishing or something like that. 8 lb weights fishing at 1,000 feet for Grouper. He used to sell boats on the East Coast and now travels around.

He was on his way to Gilbert to trade in his 2018 model for a new 2019. I told him about my $18k R-Pod travel trailer and how much we enjoyed it. He said "That's all you need" and said if we were in the market his rig was for sale and gave us a tour.

I bet I've driven back and forth between Wickenburg and Surprise a hundred times.
I wish they'd just pick a speed limit and stick to it, it seems like it changes every three miles.

Paul,

Up the Coast to Oregon, touch on Washington, and back to SoCal. Bring my spoons that you saw when we visited you last Summer. Our first extended trip with the new Rig.

[tevake]

Great area to cruise Hugh. From S F north along the coast is one of my favoites. The road makes you work for it in places, but is so rewarding.
Those long empty beaches in Oregon just seem to be calling for one of those sailing land buggies.

Glad you got the new rig teething issues sorted.

A couple of highlights up that way for me.

4th of July parade in Ferndale ( the Victorian Village). Can camp at their fairgrounds at the edge of town.


Camping deep in redwoods along the Gualala River in a small tucked in park a bit inland from the road, sweet spot.









Plus Wind sculpted sand dunes all along the coast up that way.

Looking forward to you trip pics.
And stories.

Cheers Richard

Great stuff, Hugh.

If you can squeeze an extra day in there are some really spectacular Eastern Cascade drives.

Have fun and post pics!

[tevake]

Hugh, have you booked all of your stopping places already or are you winging it some along the way? Places do get booked up for the summer months

Cheers Richard

[Hugh R]

Booked everything already,

About 1,400 miles so far up the CA and OR coast, no issues, other than an HDMI signal issue to one TV from the satellite dish TV system. Washer drier works great.

Gualala is beautiful
