My first day on the road with the new rig. Of course, because it is a large truck chassis, it drives like a large truck. Very comfortable for the most part, and of course has all of the amenities in the cab for driver and passenger. The great part about the RV is that I was able to pull off into a rest area, use the bathroom, made some lunch, watched a little TV and took a nap and never even opened the door to step outside.
Drove back the route I used to get to Salem last Saturday and then continued north on US-101 along the coast. As I had gotten a late start, I needed to find a place to stay fairly quick. Slid off the highway just after crossing the Siletz River as there were three CG’s back in the valley. The first one was a gem. Right on the river, in lots of old growth trees. Sites were sufficient and they had a boat launch and rentals. The fliers for the park were updated with photos of fish caught on the river the last two days.
My first night on the road was uneventful. I only opened the bedroom slide as I was planning to move out early the next morning.
