Maybe a strange new,Pokemon...

I think pinstriper's picture is of scbillandjane getting a thorough look at the 2017 Camplite 21 RBS that American RV brought to Ft. Sevens for us.

Made it home safely, but had an incident somewhere along the way... All of the rivets on one of our vent covers came loose, and somewhere along the highway, the cover blew off. I know I had closed it properly because the frame was still there and fully closed, but the plastic cover was gone.

Hopefully it didn't do any damage to anybody behind us on the highway...

[billmoore]

Also, I checked the other two vent covers, and one of them has one broken rivet (out of four). So this is definitely something to keep an eye on...

What a great get together. Thanks to all who got this going. I look forward to seeing some of you northwest guys again. Don't forget to post the group picture.

Great time, great people, look forward to doing it again.

Sorry to hear about the fan covers on Bill's camper. Had a great time, meeting everybody and putting faces to the names on the posts here. My husband says I now have 2 buddies - an alligator in Florida and pinstriper here on the board. BTW, my husband and Mrs. Pin liked each other and feel they have a lot in common.

Leslie if you haven't left yet, there is a free scale on 101 just south a few miles south of the park, I forgot to mention to you. It's on the northbound side so you'll have to go past and come back to it.

[leslie]

Haven't left yet - staying here for another 2 days. Lots to see and do in this area.

After listening to the discussion last night around the campfire, we have decided to head south, hugging the coast for a few days before we head north to spend some quality time with our granddaughter.

I have to report that pinstriper was nice to me, and helpful. What??? True. I enjoyed meeting Mrs. Pin. It was a really good rally. It just didn't last long enough.

Bill I have lost several vent lids before. Install vent lid covers and then you don't have to worry. $25 @ camping g world.

[billmoore]

Thanks Dennis, I will do that!

Yup, great fun and absolutely worth the 2684 mile trip out, even at 10 mpg! The cultural and natural history in the Astoria area is amazing. Oh, and the Livin Lite owners were by and large ok too. I even met another Cruiserhead. 


So far the OR coast has lived up to its reputation with drop-dead gorgeous views at every headland on 101 south. Camped tonight at Beverly Beach State Park (taking the long way back east).


Should I (all of us) post photos on this thread or on a new trip report thread?

I saw a question on Scales in Oregon

Weigh stations in Oregon usually are functional even when closed. According to DMV publications trailers are encouraged to utilize a closed weigh station to check their weight.

I saw the scale that pinstriper referenced, but I didn't know that RVs were able to use it.

Merlin, I vote to have the pictures and stories here, on the rally thread, so the whole story is here from start to finish. And thanks for taking the pictures!

I'm very disappointed to hear that about pinstriper.
