Hello from Vancouver Island

We're glad to be able to have this new community. Our family includes my husband, John, as well as Cooper (Labradoodle 6 yrs) and Porthos (Standard Poodle 6 months).

We have been camping most of our lives...tenting, Truck and camper and have now moved into a Jayco Alante 31V (Class A - Gas); heaven for us. We cannot call it camping any more - Rving would be more precise LOL!

Over the past several years we have been lucky enough to have been traveling around the world (during School breaks)- our goal was to see as many continents as we could - all but Antarctica and Australia (so far)! Now we are setting our sights on traveling in our motor home.

We both retired last Sept. and our goal is to become snowbirds and head south for the winter from the Island. We are a bit nervous about driving our new home but look forward to the adventure. Our idea is to travel down to the Palm Springs area then to Yuma, Tucson and then back up to Lake Havasu from Nov 1 - March 31?!

We look forward to the forums’ knowledge and discussions.

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine

Greetings from Las Vegas, Nevada and welcome to the JOF. Congratulations also on your new Jayco Alante 31V. I spent some time on Vancouver Island when I was in the US Navy. We used to fly with the Canadian maritime patrol squadron out of Comox. It is beautiful up there.

Just returned from a July 4 two week trip to Orcas Island and suspect we got within a few miles of Vancuver island. Nice area but way to expensive for my tastes [and wallet]. Anyway welcome.

Where did you buy your MH? Just wondering if you traveled down into the US. What is the costs of taking your MH on the ferry? We saw several people taking TT's to Orcas on the ferry. Real nice State Park there. We rented a house on the coast but was surprised at the number of Rv's on the ferry.
