Hi I am... Julie
Hello Fiberglass peeps.
My name is Julie and my partner and I just purchased our first...yes, first fiberglass camper...a 1980's Miti Lite Spacemaster. It is a GEM though a work in progress. We are so happy to have found this site, as I was able to ID the camper from posts of what it is supposed to look like. We are thrilled and can't wait to customize and make it our own. Hopefully it will stop raining in Portland, OR so we can dig into our project.
Happy camping to all. Safe travels.
Julie

Mark- It is a Miti- project and once done, it will be custom. I have a contractor who does fiberglass work and the first thing we are doing is getting the exterior solid with doors and windows. Then the interior will come next...then the pop top! We'll most likely use it as a basic "tear drop" until all is done! It will be Miti-cool  Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Julie, nice looking "spaceship"
One question, does it ever really stop raining in Portland? LOL!

Mike from Alberta,
In spite of the near-legendary quality of that assertion, that it does, sometimes, stop raining in Portland, it is actually, shockingly, TRUE!
In 1953 it did NOT rain on May 25...In 1973, only twenty years later, March 3 was dry! And other rare but clear days have also been recorded by a few intrepid souls willing to venture out under the questionable firmament.
Some observers may have other clear dates to report, but those are "official."

Mike, Kai is obviously pulling your leg here.
It stops raining in the northwest every year. We call that day "summer".
If that day happens to be warm, we also celebrate by having a picnic.

Kathleen, Mike,
I'm a maritimer as well, Newfoundland a long time ago, so I can relate. Where I come from people don't suntan, the brown colour is actually RUST, from all the rain!
In Alberta we see the sun almost every day. Easy to get use to, hard to give up once it becomes a habit.
Here's hoping you have another sunny day, sometime soon!
