Waving from Western Wisconsin

TamsonWI

Just wanted to say hi and thank you for all of the invaluable information across this forum.  Husband, Shannon, and I just picked up our 2017 Outback yesterday are so excited to try a new adventure.  Plans for the summer include the airshow at Oshkosh and the eclipse from a point in Missouri that will have a totality.  I think our biggest challenge might be that DH is 6'6" tall - but we're out-and-about kind of folks, so basically       using the T@B is a rolling bed and loo.

Welcome aboard - I have an old buddy (trumpet player) from my muscian days who lives just outside Hudson so get thru there once in awhile. Great area.

TamsonWI

Thanks, PXL!  Been cyber-stalking you and Jenn Grover's posts for pictures and best practices for weeks now.  While we do like our new home in the midwest, we're transplanted from New Mexico for work in the Twin Cities.  Can't wait to take our T@B out west for big sky country!

Welcome  I just purchased a 2015 MaxS  I live in MPLS area and have not taken my maiden voyage as of yet.  Waiting to be able to dewinterize and head out.  Where did you purchase your T@B?

TamsonWI

Hi TTT!  We purchased at Elk River, RV in Elk River, MN.  Loren, Nick and Jim were easy to work with, but then again, we didn't do anything other than buy what they had in stock, so no mods.  We're hoping to have a wander mid-April for a small shake-down cruise.  Keep your fingers crossed for no more snow!

I am taking my T@B there to have it checked out and my TV wired for the elec brake controller etc.  Had to cancel my last appointment due to cold weather. Late April is my plan as of now.  Hope I run into you two sometime!

Welcome...  We live in Appleton.  My wife is from Hudson and her aunt is the last of the Birkmose's.  (as in Birkmose) park.  We'll be in Hudson during the Easter weekend visiting family...

TerryV6

My wife says I should mention that Hudson used to be confined to just the town area.  All of that "new" stuff is recent.  My mom in law used to resent the fact that a lot of the services moved outside town.  When we started dating 44 years ago, I remember the Hudson House being the only thing out there and 94 was a 4 lane till the bridge, which was 2 lane...  Hudson was popular at that time for Minnesota kids, because Wisconsin was 18 year old drinking...

Congrats!  Not sure if they'll be at Oshkosh but look for my friends at, Airshow Ministries, while you're there...great people.  Took an old Trans-Am and made it look like an F-14.  Now they travel the airshows

Did the 4 runner pull the t@b good?  I have a Tacoma....Gonna purchase a 4 runner in a year or so....Just curious...

TamsonWI

TerryV6 - :-)  We've been here 6 years now and it's changed a lot in that time!  I can only imagine the difference 40+ years ago!

Sandiegogal - Will look for your friends!  If I see them, I'll post a pic.  

Rolltide82 - Pretty smooth at highway speed, and he says it tracked well.  We only had the one-hour ride home, looking forward to testing the whole rig out on a longer trip.

@TamsonWI...I'll find out if they're planning on being there ☺

Welcome! Unless I am working, I, too use it as the rolling bedroom and loo. Happy camping!

Nice to hear from you TamsonWI.  We live in River Falls and bought a new, to us, t@b last fall. It comes out of winter storage later this week and then we hope to take our maiden voyage.  Michigan is in our sights in June/July.  We have never seen a t@b on the roads so will look out for you!!

TamsonWI

Hi @Lesley_and_Ian.  What color is your T@B?  We'll keep an eye for you as well.  Adventure#2 this weekend - exotic Decorah, Iowa.  :-)  

TerryV6

I have in laws living just outside River Falls and we've been in the area a number of times in the last month.

Lesley_and_Ian

We are out for our maiden voyage Wednesday.  We are a silver T@B with a pale blue Subaru Forester TV.  Wave if you see us!

Might help a little if we knew WHERE you were going!

Lesley_and_Ian

Pattison State Park in northern Wisconsin for a trial run.  Then next week to Lansing Michigan.

TamsonWI

@Lesley_and_Ian - I'll have to look that one up!  We're grounded for a few weeks due to work but are headed to Grand Marais mid-June.
