Interstate spotted thread

[LizabethLane]

We were driving back from camping at Humbug Mountain, great place, and spotted a Silver one. It was Jan 2, 2015, 10:30am. He was driving Northbound on highway 101 near Gold Beach, Oregon. We all waved.

...or an Airstream Avenue. I initially spotted this awning with the nose of the vehicle partially obscured and for an instant, I thought I was looking at my first in-the-wild Interstate. But the shape was all wrong and it wasn't until I got home and downloaded my photos that I could confirm what it really was (I often drive with a camera in my lap - shoot first, ask questions later). I don't know anything about Avenues, other than they were produced through at least 2013, according to the internet.

State Highway 96 near IH-45 in League City Texas, January 27 2015. I finally spot an Airstream Class B after months of looking all over southeast Texas, and the one I find turns out to be just two hundred yards from my own house.

This afternoon, we saw a 2005-2007 Parkway in the Market Basket Parking lot on Highway 101. It was from CT. We stalked it for a while but the owners didn't appear!

Spotted silver Airstream south of Memphis headed south on I-55 about 1515 on 7-17-15 and another silver one west of St. Louis headed east on I-70 about 1400 on 7-18-15.

Just spotted a nice black INTERSTATE, on Jingle Pot Road, Vancouver Island, BC. 11 AM. heading north.
No time for actual photo.

We hit the jackpot today in Zephyr Cove which is about 5 miles from South Lake Tahoe. One silver extended from Portland Oregon, and one white Airstream that I only managed to snap the front of as it was passing by. It looked like it had four bikes on the back and it was traveling westbound on Highway 50. Hopefully, my picture taking skills will improve.

1/2 block from my condo in downtown San Diego, parked on 10th Ave, between Island and J St....an Interstate on a Freightliner platform. Swirly graphics on the side.

I was hoping to spot the owners, but didn't see anyone nearby that looked attached to it.

Saw one downtown Kent, Ohio about noon today.

Is she or isn't she, and how can you tell from this angle??

The only identifying mark I could make out on the full-res photo is a Quebec telephone area code on the dealer plate in front. Google did not produce a match to various dealer name guesses (blurry). There is a number on the upper right of the windshield suggesting a fleet vehicle, which would not be unusual for this area where I would estimate that about 50% of the motorhomes on the road at this time of year are short-term rentals.

Sydney - Louisbourg Highway, Nova Scotia, yesterday around 5 p.m.

My guess is, "isn't she" based on the following:
1 - It's got dual rear wheels, so it's based on a Sprinter 3500;
2 - It appears to have a full-length running board on the driver's side.
To the best of my knowledge, some of the older 2500-based Interstates had full-length running boards, but not the 3500-based Interstates.

Roadtreks do have full-length running boards, I believe.

Yesterday heading north on 19th Avenue in San Francisco I saw a T1N AI in a blue color that I've never seen before.

That is a Winnebago ERA.

Spotted a Silver Interstate, a 2015 I think, today around 1:00pm, in Petoskey Michigan. Headed north on 31. First one I have seen on the road.....other than mine.

That was probably us stopping at Ray's for lunch on the way to Cedar Point!

Neat, I was on my annual visit to KSU just to remember the past. We stay on my wife's family farm in Hiram. Hope you had a great trip.

Oh, shoot, I've been trying to spot one for so long but my husband beat me to it, argh! NASA Road 1 (NASA Parkway) on the El Camino Real overpass in the Clear Lake area of Houston, heading toward IH-45, probably leaving either Johnson Space Center or Space Center Houston, around 7:30 pm this evening. Texas plate - now I'm curious whether local or visitor.

I thought I was driving past a mirror! Saw a 2015 EXT or Grand Tour, silver, exactly like mine, coming the opposite direction on Hwy. 85 through Los Gatos, CA.

Parked behind another black interstate in the RV Parking area near LLBean in Freeport ME. Wow! This has never happen before. Texas license plate. Looks like a 2015.

After almost a month on the road, we finally spotted another Interstate. Unable to take a picture, but it was traveling Eastbound on Interstate 40. We were in Groom, TX, traveling Westbound. 9/25/15 at 2:30 pm.

We spotted a 2009 Interstate yesterday in Gallup, NM. I forgot to take a picture. Then today, near Seligman, AZ, a black Interstate traveling eastbound on I40. My guess is that both are headed to Alburqueque for the balloon festival!
