In the meantime there is one other Escape besides my 17' here and I'll check it out. I don't know if it's a 19' or 21'. I don't know what the NE means.

Thanks Walt! Just found out today that we may need to change our plans as we have a family member who is in the hospital. Not sure what our weekend will look like now. We may be heading to Maine.

Thanks so much Jim and Barbara! Just found out today that we may need to change our plans as we have a family member who is in the hospital. Not sure what our weekend will look like now. We may be heading to Maine.

We are almost ready to order a new Bigfoot, but have never seen one except in passing at a state park. Just studied up on them. Are there going to be any Bigfoot models at the October rally at Hungry Mother?

[AndyA]

Yes, we are at the rally with our 2019 25RQ. Glad to show it to you and answer any questions we can.

[John in Virginia]

Perfect. We are looking at the 25B25RQ. We've never seen one (except in passing by at the park), but the reputation and layout suits us. We live about an hour from Hungry Mother and plan to drive over tomorrow. Would you be around to give us a few pointers?

[WaltP]

Well that was fun.
I made Cowboy Stew and SUMI salad for dinner tonight. Fed over 20 friends and everyone seemed to really enjoy. This was the largest group yet, even though a lot of "regulars" were absent this year. I may even do this again.

Are there dates for the 2021 rally yet? Please post if there are.

[KenEllen]

Walt - A belated thanks for organizing a great gathering. The weather cooperated and it was so nice to see old friends and make some new ones. We have our calendar marked to reserve our site for next year.


We winterized the SCAMP all by ourselves thanks to the tips we learned from fellow campers.


I hope everyone stays sage and we look forward to meeting up again.


Thanks again Walt.

Hi Walt,

The Roost highlighted The Hungry Mother rally in the December issue that came out today. If you didn't see it, let me know.



If you haven't seen the RVBlogger YouTube video of molded fiberglass travel trailer tours, that also came out today and was produced at the rally. They covered Casita, Lil Snoozy, Scamp, Bigfoot and Escape (5th wheel).

Hi Jeanine.
Thanks for the heads up. No I didn't see the new roost and I thought I was on the distribution list. So yes I really would like to see it.
I hope all is well with you.

You are on the list, maybe check your spam folder?

I'll PM you to confirm your email is correct and give you a link to this month's issue.

[WaltP]

When would I have received it?

[Hidalga]

Today, early afternoon.

Just found this thread... We are new owners of a 1974 ECO and doing the cleaning and fixing some things up.... Looking forward of attending some of your all Fiberglass events...

[WaltP]

Welcome and congratulations on your find. I hope to meet your Eco on the road sometime and hopefully at Hungry Mother next year. I love to see the vintage fiberglass trailers, especially the less common ones.

Hey Walt-
Are the dates set for 2021 yet?

[WaltP]

I'm going to wait one more week to see if Cherokee and Boone gatherings post. I'd like to coordinate and not conflict. My current preference is Oct. 28-31, but I may choose Oct 21-24 if it coordinates better.

Hi Walt,
The Cherokee rally list their 2021 dates as Oct 7-10 on their Facebook page.
Based on that, the King of the Wild Frontier dates are set for Oct 13-17 2021.
Hope that helps.
What is the Boone rally?

Dave and Marilyn, enjoying our new escape. :-)

[WaltP]

Thanks Dave. I'm not very tuned into Facebook so I miss a lot of stuff. I look forward to seeing your Escape. I hear they make a nice trailer.

[WaltP]

Okay. Decision made.
I'll set Hungry Mother 2021 for October 28-31.
I'll start a new thread for it sometime this weekend.

Walt
