So, you're home? If so, glad to hear your safe. Tanks, again, for coming to visit us.

I wish I could have stayed longer but I needed to get home. Snoqualmie Pass received 10 inches of snow yesterday when I was going over it and 13 so far today and it is only 9:30 am. Seattle might not get much snow but just 54 miles away the pass gets dumped.

Here 'old 931' sits in the driveway. It is now in the garage.

Hey, now wait a minute here. When you were in Necedah, you were only 109 miles away from my house. Wish I’d have known you were coming.

Glad you got to see Joanie and Bill. Oh, and that sure is a nice camper.

I was too homesick so I drove all night to get home. Lookout Pass on the Montana/Idaho border was bad but I was able to get through. That Outback sure knows how to pull a trailer in the snow. These pictures were taken on Snoqualmie Pass in Washington State. Chains were required on all vehicles except 4WD.

my respects Sir .... I have been forced by circumstances beyond my control to have to tow over snow covered roads .... I sure hope that never happens again .... you sure have a well matched, nice looking rig .... next question, when do you plan to take it out on your first camping trip

I would have loved to have stopped but I was on a mission to get the trailer home before Winter set in at full.

In late January Miss Evelyn and I are planning a trip down the Oregon coast.

I'm getting t-shirts and hoodies made that has a silhouette of the trailer and reads 931 (the trailer number) and Captain/dishwasher for me and Navigator/head chef for Miss Evelyn.

I've driven parts of it but not the full length. In January it can be cold and windy.

we stayed at Thousand Trails South Jetty on the southern end and their Pacific City campground on the northern end .... Pacific City was a very nice CG, can't say the same for South Jetty

Sounds like an eventful trip. It's been a long time since I towed much in the snow. Don't miss that!

Looks like a really nice camper. I'm sure you will be well served by it.

Where is the insulation and how much. The other pics you showed of the tour look like a classic plywood Teardrop with an aluminum covering. I was wondering if it's insulated.

Make sure to wash the road salt off both those new toys very soon! Especially underneath.

The sides are indeed marine plywood but also have a layer of insulation before the aluminum cover was put on. The top on the other hand has more insulation. I'm not sure how much but it is a small space and doesn't take much to heat. Even a candle would heat it in temps above freezing. Might not take it up to 68 but certainly took the chill off.

Yes I washed the car and trailer very good and got the underside as much as I could. When I was traveling through MT I stopped at an indoor wash which included a bottomside spray. Then starting in Missoulia it pouring and all the water spray washed the underside even further. From Missoulia the only time it wasn't pouring down rain it was snowing heavy. Montana, Idaho and Washington doesn't use much chemicals like the Dakotas, Minnisota and Wisconsin.

Thanks for the response. Yes a small space makes it much easier to heat. My truck camper is small with 1" of foam in the walls. The small furnace can take it from cold to sweat lodge in short order in less than deep subfreezing temps. I nromally just run it a couple of cycle before bed and then again in the am while I make coffee. A good bag takes care of the warmth while sleeping.
