Leo, we hope you enjoy your Vista Cruiser. When we sold our 172, the Vista Cruiser was our first choice for a replacement, but getting one out west for a doable price proved impossible. We settled for a FR Sonoma made in CA which had very similar layouts and weight. The walk around bed and full bath were a big improvement.

We are real happy with the dry bath, walk around bed, and the extra room. The extra rooms is really nice. We cant wait to use it, we have reservations in May at Assateague Island to give it a good checking out! I see what you meant about their forum, joined a couple days ago and havent heard from anyone yet. Really enjoying it so far! Thanks!! |

Leo I found your post on the Gulf Stream owners forum I think if you place your post in the travel trailer section you are more likely to get a response. There are few other posts there from Vista Cruiser owners but not many.

Wow Leo!! Good for you! Doesn't mean you have to move away, ya know. You need to remember your humble beginnings!
 BTW, hope you made your reservations @ Assateague or will do as soon as reservation window opens. We were down there first week of November and the place was packed (Bayside). Never seen it that crowded. Usually we are the only ones there 'cept for a few. Rangers said it's been crazy busy. A14 is our site. Congrats again !! fred   |

Thanks Fred!! We are definitely not moving away!! Going to get active here again. We went to the State Park this fall (Sept 27-30) site A-8. Loved it caught 42 Bluefish, a flounder, a whiting and 2 4 ft sharks!! Had a great time!
We have reservations at the State Park A-8 for 4 days and the National Park oceanside 12 for 4 day this coming May. Really enjoy the area. We will then head down to First Landing State Park for a bit more fishing! Take care! |

Speaking of Vista Cruisers, for anyone interested C&D recently posted this retrospective on a 68 with a 455 engine swap.
Just shows how much drive trains have changed as a garden variety current gen Buick Enclave (Buick is the closest thing as Olds is long gone) weighs about the same or more and is about a second faster to 60 and clocks about the same time in the quarter. That's with less than half the engine displacement, but with 3x as many speeds in the auto tranny. The Vista Cruiser was 15 inches longer but 12 inches shorter and surprisingly was 2 inches narrower. |
