Hello, My husband & I just purchased our Lance Camper 1191 this weekend and have recently become LOA members! This forum stuff is all new to me, but I'll give it a shot! Anyways, I was excited to see that there will be a rally in January 2014 at Lake Solano Park.. this is great because it's near where we live! The only bad thing is that we have a conflict in the dates. I work in the sales industry and I'll be away at a trade show. Although we have friends that we always go camping with...

Wow, we are the little rally that could like the little train... I think I can, I think I can and now look where we are! Awesome! Is it time to start a conversation on a a schedule and suggestions on communal meals? There was a conversation on a breakfast but not sure what else has been discussed. if we have some suggestions, I will put together an itinerary to post in a common area. Friday afternoon/evening everyone will be arriving and setting up so an easy potluck of food and beverages...

Hi being new I was wondering if we could have a LOA get together further north? I don't want to be a bummer but driving 600 miles and staying 3 days seems crazy. There are many beautiful rv parks in northern Ca. there is Bodega Bay (the birds) and petaluma KOA near the wine country and 30 min from San Fransisco and Casini ranch on the russian river by Jenner and the rugged sonoma coastline. just a thought, I know there are plenty of Lance owners in northern CA. I am not knocking Pismo Beach...

Bruce, You just missed a NorCal Rally at Lake Solano Park (near Lake Berryessa) in January! Hopefully, like the Pismo Rally, they will hold it again! WoodGlue

diamonds - Good to know. Thanks for the mention. I will pick some up for future upkeep. Switching gears - Glad to hear that everyone is ok! What happened? Why was a tow truck near the rear of your TT?

We did get our Clam shelter screen tent for Christmas. We have only set it up twice, but with skeeter and fly season upon us, I'm sure we will find plenty of opportunities to use it. It really is quick and easy. We also got a 3 pack of wind screens. The downside is that it is bulky and heavy. (6'6" and 34#, I think) folded up and in the bag.

We have been hauling our new Clam throughout the PNW. Set it up once at the SCIO rally just to check it out and reaffirm I could pop it up in less than 5 minutes. LOL This screen room is a great mosquito repellent. They seem to see it laying on the table and fly away. Since purchasing this Clam, mosquitos have been pretty much non existent. When we were at Fort Stevens SP, someone had a very similar structure that came from Cabelas. Same pop out panels and roof but it also had window flaps...

A final wrap-up - Towed up and over Donner Pass (7,000+') today with the rig completely loaded (including our 5th wheel chest full of 3 cases of H2O, half a case of ale, generator, gas, etc.... Rock solid! For our truck and TT lower StableLoads are perfect! Here are a few shots taken at the Gold Run rest area near Colfax, CA on I-80 (The Love's semi dwarfs our rig, ha) -

FYI: I met with Ron today. Their new to them 2011 1985 is in great shape. We went over some basics operational items. A lot of the questions brought back memories of when I was a new owner. I have offered to go camping with them (aka: a really small LOA gathering). :-) And......of course I showed him where the low point drains were located....as that was one of my first questions when joining the forum. LOL We had a great time and look forward to meeting up with Ron in the near future.
