Found their way back home after purchasing our 2008 Winnebago View 24J


"Just got back from a long weekend dry camping with my wife, Melita at Pinery  Provencal Park in Grand Bend Ont. This was basically a shakedown for our up-coming trip to Newfoundland in July. She absolutely loves the camper and this gave us the opportunity to make lists and actually enjoy the unit stand alone. The absolute luxury was sure a change from our VW bus days (I actually felt that I had sold-out my Hippie principles but so what!) Primitive camping in luxury, we’re going to have a lot of that in Newfie. We didn’t take any pictures on our trip from California to Ontario. I just put the hammer down and drove. We ate the specials at sleazy casinos and truck stops along I-80. Reno was a big disappointment. We averaged 16 miles to the US gal (19.5 Imp gal) at 60 MPH. The only problem I had was the unit was slightly out of alignment when I picked it up so I stopped at a number of tire stores along the way and got a price on new tires with an alignment. ( I wanted to get new tires before I imported it.) I got some great prices but the unit was too large for every alignment rack we encountered. We also tried the World’s Largest Truck-stop in Willcott  Iowa (Try the shrimp special- 60 deep fried shrimp, hot fries, slaw, roll and Never-ending Iced Tea -$8) and the guy at the counter said “sorry, we don’t do cars”. I was able to get an alignment here at home and they told me I’ve got at least another season left on the tires. Crossing the border was not too bad. We arrived @4am and spent an hour looking for the export office (whose driveway is now non-existent due to never-ending construction) All my papers were in order and I was allowed to leave. On the Canadian side, I declared the import and was directed to secondary to present the paperwork and pay the taxes. To my surprise, a number of the officers on duty were guys that I had worked with in security at Casino Windsor years ago and are now working at Costoms. Needless to say, they “Hooked me up”. Anyway, I promise to send pictures of our upcoming trip."
