Hi there !

Hi everyone. Im Kent from Victoria BC Canada. Proud owner of a Jayco 26jtx travel trailer that we (my family of 4) keep on a local island, Pender Island. Its our 5th summer of enjoyment. Its been a gem except for recent hot water tank problems (fires up, but clicks and shuts down). Im going over the try it out again this weekend.

Cheers
Kent

Welcome to the forum! I hope our members can help you get that water heater fixed!

Klboag - welcome to the forum... we're relatively new to Vancouver Island and haven't made it beyond the west-shore (Sooke/Port Renfrew etc.). Very interested in camping on some of the Gulf Islands but not sure where to head to...any suggestions? What's available on Pender?

Hi McMonk, I know the Gulf Islands very well. Best camping is likely Montague on Galiano Island. There really isnt any camping on Mayne (a few private) and Saturna (none). Pender has a Federal campsite, called Prior Centennial. Its in the woods and like most provincial ones. The campsite is plain but Pender is my favorite island (and I think Prior has availability, unlike Montague). There lots to see ! And you pay only one way on the ferry. Im running out to pender right now. If you're going to Pender, send me a line and I'll outline 5-6 must see's !
Cheers
Kent

Thanks, Kent... forgot it was only a one-way charge for the crossing to the little islands - makes it even more enticing to go! We'll need to get over for a few days, maybe some fall camping. We'll be heading up to Miracle Beach for a week this month - first time up that side of the island and our (I'm ashamed to say) first 'true' summer trip for 2011!
