Hi from Oly WA

We're new R-Pod owners - bought a 177 last October, got out once before winterizing.  Ok, I should clarify - we're new RV'ers.  Heck, we're new campers!!  But I love travel, I love flexibility, and I love being able to take our dog along.  That pretty much meant RV to me, so we went ahead and bit the bullet :).  Thought about going the class C route, but the cons of having another motorized vehicle seemed to outweigh the pros, at least at this point.  Not the mention the cost.  Boyfriend has a Chevy Silverado - so no prob towing there, although gas mileage seems to drop to about 10 mpg.  I have a Honda Pilot - have not tried to tow with that, read lots of pros and cons.  It doesn't have a tow package, so I'd need to be convinced it would be worth it before shelling out the do-rey-me for that.  Looking forward to learning more and exploring the country.  Would love to hear about any primitive/ lesser known places in Western Washington we might head out to.

Welcome from Bainbridge Island, WA.

The Olympics are very nice. We spent three days at Kalaoch Beach in our tent trailer. Had A great time. Now can't wait to go there in our Rpod.

Another friend mentioned that, but wasn't sure if we'd be able to get there.  They have a much larger rig and sounded like it wasn't feasible for them.  We have friends out towards Wishkah, so pass by the Wynoochee dam turn off frequently.  Thanks for the tip - we'll check it out.  Is it primitive?

The camp sites are in the National Park. I did believe there are no hook ups. We didn't have any, but there is water and bathrooms. The beach is just a short walk down a hill. My avatar is a photo of my dogs playing on the beach. Lots of wind blown trees and round flat stones.

Do a search on Kalaoch Beach.
