The Rig

For those new to my Blogging I thought I would just send a description of the RV and “dingy” towed car. The RV is a 2007 Triple E Commander that we have had for four years. It was built in Winkler Manitoba (south of Winnipeg). We have travelled across Canada to visit grandchildren in Ottawa and down to California and Arizona in early 2017. The RV has two slide outs and there is an estimated 288 sq ft inside with the sliders out. Like a small apartment. It has everything that you have in a home - fridge, freezer, oven, shower, toilet, a walk around double bed, a second foldable bed with inflatable mattress, TV, DVD, Satellite TV dish that can pick up Shaw Direct, air conditioning, heating, hot water etc. There is a generator that enables one to “bare camp” without any hook ups for several days - the limiting factor is amount of water used and whether there is a need to empty the black and grey water tanks.  It truly is Glamping and quite a contrast to the kind of wilderness camping I have enjoyed with the Alpine Club of Vancouver Island each summer for the last few years. The tow car is a 2008 Honda Fit sport which has a plate installed underneath for towing and has its own braking system which is activated when one puts the brakes on in the RV.
