Maintenance & Restoration

MFF · 04-05-2012, 04:28 PM

Hi !

We just bought a Boler-1300-79 in pretty good shape ! We are so happy

!!!

We have to make some maintenance inside and outside and I'm sure that I'm going to find all the answers to my questions !!! I read so many post with very interesting things to do !

I'm going to try hard to write correctly in English cause I'm a French woman

Bye !!!

I hope that is correct. If not, blame Babelfish.

It is exciting when you get your first egg. I wish you many happy campouts with it.

Hi MFF,

Great to see another Canadian on here, there's not too many but I know there are a lot of eggs up here.
Hope you enjoy you new FG Bolar.
You'll do fine on here a lot can't spell or it may be their typing?? including me.

HI! I don't speak French, but do speak Camping and Trailers pretty well ! I do wish to ask, because I like to talk to "people," would you like to share your first name?

MFF · 04-05-2012, 10:06 PM

@Roger - Good ! I think you try to write "Bienvenue sur le site" and I tell you: thank's a lot !!! And yes, we are very excited !!!

@RRJR Thank's a lot. I think that kind of eggs is more popular that I thought before !!!

@Donna - ... And the Camping's language is universal !!! My first name is Marie-France...Hi !

Bonjour Marie-France,
Je ne suis pas francais, mais mon mari l'est. Il est de Montreal.
OK, that's all the French I can do! I told Daniel about you and he was wondering if many people in Quebec are into RV'ing. He didn't remember it being a big thing there. I did meet some people camping in BC last year from Mont Tremblant with a Boler.
One more try: Bienvenue! Je pense que vous allez aimer votre petite roulotte!

We live in upstate NY. My boyfriend and I make bets when we see a camper if it's from Quebec. We have a joke that everyone from there has a camper and drives through upstate on weekends.

we also LOVE Quebec and pretend to speak French when we visit. It's ok because it seems everyone speaks English as a second language and we never have too hard a time communicating when our French fails terribly!!! Je T'aime Quebec!!! Welcome!!!!!

THANK you Maria-France... once again... it's nice to meet you!

Ask questions as you wish, you'll find lots of folks are more than willing to help.

Thank's Phil and Meghan !
Yes many people here are into RV'ing...the summer is so short that we spend all the time we can outside !

Last year (spring), we went (not in camping but...) to NY. Wow ! We fell in love !!! And in last summer we passed 3 beautiful days in Boston and we camped in our pop-up trailer in Wompatuck state park. Jean, my husband, is a Boston Bruin's fanatic

. We are going to return soon !

And this summer with our new little toy (Boler) we don't know yet where we are going to camp in USA but for sure, we are going to discover an other part of the world !!!

HI there!! i'm new to the boler too!! just got mine in november and have been fixing it up. I posted a ton of pictures of what i'm doing to the inside. my friend is coming over to fix the electrical stuff and work on the breaks etc. I have some fiberglass stuff to do too which I've got the name of an autobody guy to work on for me. I wan to eventually paint the outside as well and HOPEFULLY get it ready but i'm not pushing the big stuff until next year.

Hi! I looked to your pictures and your Boler is like mine

. For this year, we plan to make it more confortable and fix the broken things. But we have projects

. We want to be sure that what is the best for us and what we can do. Probably the work is for more than one year for us

Salut Marie-France!

I do speak French but I cannot understand the French of Quebec. It seems to be a camping group of people though. We were Canada the summer before last on Manitoulin Island and seemed surrounded by campers from Quebec. Then last January in Florida, our campground had 4 or 5 large groups who spoke Quebec French. I always try to avoid being obvious as I try to understand what they say, but I can only pick up a word or two, which is a good thing, considering it is rude.

I am sure you will enjoy your Boler and maybe someday, we will meet at a rally and you can help me understand the French of Quebec.

BTW, I love Quebec. We spent our honeymoon there.
