Congratulations on the new rig. You will enjoy it. Lots of smiles in that 23.

Sounds like you have her mountain trained. What is her first outbound trip? Coast? Up the Columbia? A run around the Olympic? Some fishing on the Snake? A shake down in the driveway? Do tell all.

Travel safe. Pat

We bought it from Vince in Winters and took delivery in Ashland on Monday. The shakedown was by necessity a night in Medford.

If the snow and ice will stay away for the next week, we'll take a trip to the Oregon Coast for a couple of nights.

Were able to sell the Bambi in a week for what we paid for it a couple of years ago. Problem is, the new owner is having a difficult time coming out to our place to pick her up, due to snow and ice. lucky we have a large driveway and can keep the Bambi for as long as needed.

Very cool. The 23FB is great for two people (that don't mind being close together, Ha!)
Usually the best view of a campsite is out the back of the trailer, so the person that is sitting in the dinette looking back will have the better view. We rotate, some. It does pull very easily. We've had very few issues with ours. I did upgrade the inverter/converter (whatever it is) it was cheap and easy (YouTube) the new one is quiet, and does not cook the batteries when we have power. We mostly dry camp, and find we can go a week plus, without emptying tanks if we conserve. I hope to get ours out your way one of these days. It's too far away to pull off in a two week vacation.

Thumbs up

Oh that is a nice white Touareg, and of course the AS! We are itching for winter be over so we can take our Lilly Belle out soon. Can't wait to meet and greet a neighboring streamer

Thanks, we are pretty excited. One night was great but not enough. Depending on the weather we might get out to the coast between Christmas and the New Year.
