Newbie from Canada here

Hi from Cobble Hill B.C. Canada. I'm Lois. I just recently got myself a 19 ft 1976 Prowler/Fleetwood Wilderness with a few things wrong with it, but nothing that is beyond mine or my room mates abilities to fix.

The bug-bear is the title to the trailer which I have to go through I.C.B.C. (our provincial insurance company) to obtain as it got lost 2 owners prior to myself. 

Once I get the title, I'll start looking for a tow vehicle because I drive a VW Jetta which will NOT tow 3000 + pounds 

I'm planning on painting this trailer simply because I don't like green. I'll be working on minimizing my belongings and working on the most efficient way to pack my trailer and tow vehicle. 

You will be hearing more from me as I go along, asking advice and questions. Cheers, Lois

Thank You for the welcome. I plan to read through the Tips, Tricks and Rules in the morning. Off to bed soon so I have energy to work on my trailer tomorrow

Welcome from a fellow Canadian.
I plan to be out on the Island for a few months this fall.

Hi Benyamin

Where are you located? I'm a Vancouver Island dweller, I'm 26 or so miles North of Victoria. If you're on the Island shoot me a message. I'm running out of parking spots but if you need a spot to park for a couple of nights you're welcome here

Cheers' Lois

Hi  Lois,
I am currently in Calgary and I hope to be as close to Victoria as possible as I am taking a course at Uvic from Sept 10 to Dec 1st, but after that I hope to be on the road again. 
That would be great. I plan to be on the island Sept 4th or 5th so it would be great to have somewhere to park for the first couple nights.

 

[yugogypsy1963]

Well you're certainly welcome here. Just have to move a couple of vehicles. How big is your rig?

Plan to enjoy a good meal and good company. I love to cook when someone drops in and we're all friendly

Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here.

Thanks for the welcome Riverman. I'm enjoying the forum and learning a lot from it and Bob's videos

Welcome to the forum!

You definitely need to paint an image of a bugbear on the side of your trailer.

 

[yugogypsy1963]

Thanks sephson,

I'm actually going to paint it blue over the green trim. For the sake of stealth

HI in Nanaimo Dawnann7

My nephew & several of my cousins live up there. I'll be passing through one day soon on my way to French Creek & will PM you to see if you're available for coffee. My travelling partner is in Courtenay & I have to go there, so I'll keep in touch

Cheers
