New T@B owner in the PNW

Finn12

My name is Kara & I'm a new T@B CS-S Max owner.   Waiting for a little warmer weather for my maiden voyage- can't wait!  Here's a picture.  It's a custom paint color called Plum Metallic.  
I'm glad this forum exists & it's been helpful already.  Thank you everyone!

Nice!

Nomad

Ya - Very nice color.

dmerzbac

Great looking camper!

LauraRey

Love the colour!

Seaduster

Where In the PNW are you located?

Homebodyatheart

Welcome Kara and congratulations! I love the plum color, too. We are in Eastern Washington. There is a gathering May 18 to 20th at Lincoln Rock State Park just north of Wenatchee. Loop A has 3 sites left. They are tent sites so you would be dry camping. Search "East meets West - Washington Style"on the forum for more info. We'd love to have you join us! You can message me through the forum, too. Again, I'm excited for you!

@Finn12 - Welcome! I'm in Edmonds :-)

Congrats and awesome color! Happy T@bbing.

Finn12, Welcome aboard The T@B family. Ditto to what Homebodyatheart said, come join us if the opportunity fits your schedule. Love the color you chose for your T@B. If Liz sees it, I'll be searching for paint as she LOVES purple in any shade, or hue.

ericnliz

Good one boo!

Seaduster

Kara... I'm in Kent.  Anxious for my maiden voyage as well.

ericnliz

OreoTAB, Will we see you at Lincoln Rock?

Seaduster

Eric... all sites with hookups are taken.  Not ready for boondocking three days just yet.  Really disappointed!!  But I'll keep watching for cancellations.

dsatwork

very nice congrats

ericnliz

OreoTAB, Look at it this way: If 'ya come, you'll have lots of help & support. Can't think of a better way to get your first boondocking experience under your belt!

j_ntabowners

Not that it's as much fun, but there is a smaller RV park up the road from Lincoln Rock about 5-10 miles that has full hook ups, 

http://www.orondoriver.com/ 

They only have about 10 or so spots. My wife and I used them as our training wheels when we first got our T@b. The only draw back is it's kind of close to the road so you get the road noises, but other than that it was a nice place for a weekend, and you could join us for the pot lucks

Homebodyatheart

OreoTAB there are two other T@Bs, 3 occupants in all that will be in that same loop so you will have company and help from them, and lots of us. Try dry camping in your driveway a few times first to see what works for you and what needs tweaking. We'd  love to have you! BTW, my T@B isn't home yet, so you are ahead of me in experience! 

ericnliz

j_ntabowners, Thanks for the helpful info! Do you happen to know the name of the RV park? Thanks.

j_ntabowners

That would be helpful huh?  It's Orondo River Park.  I included a link to their website in my previous post.

marilyncp

Welcome... and love the custom color too! 

Seaduster

Woohoo!! After a computer hangup situation and a call to the WA parks department, I was able to reserve the last available campsite (#1) at Lincoln Rock.  Thanks for the encouragement Eric, Jill and Homebodyatheart.

Please add 2 additional "very novice" RVers to your attendance list.   

ericnliz

We'll see you there! Glad you could make it.

Finn12 - Welcome!!! If you ever get over to Spokane, we would love for you to join us for our SpoT@B breakfasts the second Saturday of each month.  You don't even need to have your plum-baby with you.  We are newbies too... maiden voyage in the driveway in late October and then had to winterize.  Still have a foot of snow in the yard, so our baby is tucked warmly in our garage.  I think we are especially anxious for the snow to go away this year so we can take a true voyage beyond our curb.

Finn12

Thank you 2Cougs!  I'll certainly look you all up if I'm ever in your neck of the woods.  I too am excited for the maiden voyage, just waiting to de-winterize.  Our winter is not as bad as yours but still awful for Seattle standards.  Ready to put all my planning and anticipation into action!

Homebodyatheart

Kara, check out the Pahaque outlet store. They have a good sale on the XL visor in silver with purple trim.:-)

Named it?

We are hopefully picking up a new 2017 T@b Sofitel this weekend.  Like the idea of getting a v@nity plate or at le@st a custom n@me dec@l (like boat supply folks c@n m@ke).  Saw a few in the forum; all really ne@t.  Been playing with all kinds of @-related n@mes and thought I'd sh@re a few for grins in c@se it is helpful to others.  The @ sign confuses the forum @pplic@tion thinking they @re links, but we know wh@t they me@n. Hope I didn't miss any substitutions ;-)  We will decide on ours soon.

Already have that exact one - a Christmas gift from my guy.   Great suggestion!

Finn12

No name yet Mariner459 - it'll come to me.   Thanks for all the suggestions to get the creative juices going.
