Re: Christmas Gathering In Branson
Hey newbee here not sure what you guys like to eat? How about a good old fatting pie or cake or cobbler of some type? I only live about 40 miles from branson so it is easy for me to get there. Have not been there in a few years got away from RVing for a while. I have 3 puppies with a total weight of 20 lbs that will enjoy the trip for sure.Hope the 1121 is big enough for us?

Re: 2016 MWTCF Annual Christmas Party
Attention; Update: Since Branson Stagecoach Rv has changed things on us we now need you to CONTACT US if you are coming to the Christmas Party to ensure yourself a campsite. Contact us NOT the RV park. We have a confirmed 27 rigs signed up and the park is usually full when open so if you want a spot to camp you must contact us. we post on our events several places and there seems to be a lot of people saying they are coming but have not contacted us. Just saying your coming on one of the...

Re: 2017 MWTCF Rally / Reunion
We are new Lance owners ....a trailer, model 1985 as well as new LOA members. Is this rally strictly for Lance slide-in truck campers or any Lance product? We have camped several times at the Amana Colonies park. A great place for a rally. Chuck & Jane

Re: 2017 MWTCF Rally / Reunion
Hi there, Our Group is open to all. All RV types. We started out as just TC's, but some in our group do to circumstances have changed RV's, and still wanted to participate in our events. Well we couldn't say no, so we added the Friends (to include all rv's) We to have changed Rv's so it only seem like the right thing to do. You are more than welcome to come to the 2017 Summer RAlly. Let us know if your interested. Go to the Present Rallies section to check out the details, or to our webpage.

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
We just booked as well. Site #63. Looking forward to exploring Vancouver Island.

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Seems they shifted us to the middle gold row. That is good though since site 60 (where I am now going to be) has a wider space avail. I can bring my two pop up tents and we will have a place to gather!
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Wow! That fits our plans to spend a month on the Island! Now to fill the rest of the month and get our plans on the calendar. Any must see or do suggestions are welcome.

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
If you have a month on Vancouver Island make sure you take in Tofino and the surrounding area. If you plan to camp in Tofino get your reservations in now. We stay at Crystal Cove when ever we RV in Tofino. Go to < https://www.crystalcove.ca > Most RV parks in the area are booking already and as this is the first year highway 4 will not be under construction the place will be hopping. If you like to eat, try the Schooner Restaurant and book it once you have a campsite booked. We always...

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
I am looking forward to this! It has been a bit and I have not had a rally for almost a year now. This will be the first one on Vancouver Island (as far as I know!) and will be a great place to gather the troops. Come on up to the island!
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
It will be our first Lance Rally and only 50+ Km's (30+miles) from home. We will either start our trip or finish it at Rathtrevor Provincial Park if we can get a reservation.

Kelly, We've just booked our site for the Rally. #70 Excited to be back on Vancouver Island after many, many years. Cathy

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Our first rally, after 12 years with LOA and on our second Lance! Looking forward to time on the island fishing, crabbing, whale watching and relaxing!

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
You are coming to the right place for salt water activities. You might consider booking a few things well ahead of your departure. It is looking to be a very busy holiday season on Vancouver Island. On another topic. Coming up the I-5 though Bellingham and Blaine can be a driving nightmare. Consider peeling off the I-5 at Olympia and head to Port Angeles. The Black Ball Ferry MV Coho take you onto Vancouver Island and an easy drive up the highway to Parksville and all points north and West.
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
We have a month reserved on the island. Currently watching the ferry schedule and available booking dates. They must be released 5-6 months out??
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
The BC ferries are the way to go. They have seasonal changes (usually more sailings in the summer months) but typically the schedule is there already...you can get a reduced fare if you travel early in the am or late at night since those sailings are typically less full. They charge by the foot and will get out of the booth with their measure to see how long your rig is. It can be pricey but well worth it as the island is a beautiful place to be!
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
I enjoy the MV Coho for two reasons: 1. you avoid the customs at the border as customs is cleared prior to boarding in the Coho parking lot. 2. you miss the high stress driving through Seattle. Driving to Port Angeles is on a curvy but scenic drive with lots of spots to stop and relax.
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Looks like BC ferries to the Island from Vancouver and CoHo back to Port Angeles, just cant book online yet. Seems to have multiple times on the schedules both directions. The fare is easier to accept when spending 30+ days on the island. 2/23/23 Kept an eye on the Ferries and we now have a boat ride reservations to and from the Island.

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Since I’m between rigs I’ve booked a room at a motel nearby. I arrive the 22nd and will head out the 28th. Maybe I’ll bring my ebike for the “commute”.
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Is there a discussion thread for the rally that I missed? We have reservations set pre and post rally. Was wondering if there were going to be some scheduled events or will it be a free for all.
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Hi folks...just checking in....we will be having a potluck on the Saturday...probably some impromptu gatherings each of the other nights. Of course, I have to do Serge's Cowboy Breakfast on Sunday before everyone packs up (or not!) and heads home or to points elsewhere on the island. As to the rest of the time...free for all! There are lots of activities you can become engaged in with everything from beach combing, mini-golf and a water park just down the street, restaurants galore (good...

Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Hi Ted, We have travelled numerous times on both ferries. Travelling in peak season means peak pricers. The MV Coho has fixed prices on all sailings but some BC ferries have breaks on fares if you don't mind very early travelling. You need to goto the BC ferry website to see if any Fare Savers apply when you will be sailing. Reservations are a must for all ferries during peak season. Whenever we use the ferries we make sure it is worth the expense by staying a couple of weeks at our...

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Hello There- I'm trying to put together a trip to attend the rally on Vancouver Island. I would prefer to take the ferry from Port Angeles to the Island and then for departure take the ferry to Vancouver. The ferry looks pretty expensive. Any suggestions on being efficient about coming over on the ferry and/or reducing the cost to ferry would be appreciated. I have a Ford F150 towing a Lance 1985. Thanks, Ted

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
❤️ the BC Ferries. They do charge by the foot. Meaning from the front bumper of your TV to the back bumper (or ladder) of your TT. Can be kinda expensive, but they treat you well and have cafeteria on board, and some have cabins and movie theaters. Check out their other sailings as well. We took a circle ferry on the Sunshine Coast and island hopped from one port to another, camping at the Provincial Parks along the way. At one campground we were the only ones on the dock on the lake. We...

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
We have travelled to the Coachella valley every year until Covid kept us home. Our usual route was a short drive from Gabriola to Victoria, clear customs at the Coho loading area in Victoria and then sail to Port Angeles where we had a cursory stop at US customs and the onto the 101, down the coast, over the Golden Gate and down the California coast to Santa Barbara and east into the dessert country. We often took 8-10 days and arrived in Desert Hot Spring just after New Year. We avoided the...

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Thanks Ian - We live in the San Francisco Bay Area so this is a bit of a trip for us. We currently plan to be at the rally two full days and then head up to Banff/Lake Louise and then south from there. I did see a couple of reduced fares in the neighborhood of $173 CA for the trip from the island to Vancouver.

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
I have been living on the island for almost a year now (will be a year in July) and am so very glad I made the move. It was the right thing for me. Beauty everywhere and great people to spend time with. So glad that many of you are coming and even more impressed that I do not have to a sales pitch! Thanks to all of you! Glad that I will be meeting some new faces and seeing some longstanding friends. Looking forward to it!
Comment
Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Thanks everyone for the information. We are looking forward to seeing our first Lance Rally. How much time should it take to get through customs? I'm sure it varies with time of day, the day, etc. But should we budget for say 2-4 hours? Or maybe there is just no way to know?

Re: Rally on Vancouver Island!!
Having lived on the US Canadian Border (Blaine) and traveled through Canada to Alaska in and out of Canada/US, it depends on the border crossing you get, the agent, etc. You can go to https://bwt.cbp.gov/ and look at the border crossing wait times to get an idea for where you want to cross and the time it will take. Enjoy your first Lance Rally, wish we could make it.
