Looking down the road from my spot is where I originally planned to stay, but too exposed and windy

What a great looking setup! And you've even got sun to boot! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks! The sun lasted another ten minutes and it was misty gray for the rest of the day until ten minutes before sundown and a little shotof sun came through. But, was a fun day. Returned the cracked binoculars, drove up along a river in the mountains east of town, filled up the truck and plan to head out tomorrow to more ocean fun and a good long walk.

Hey, great job on posting your new rig all set up! Beautiful, and quite roomy looking.
That campground (CG) looks really nice. What did you say the name of it was?

Really great looking rig. Even the sun wanted you to share with us as it came out long enough for you to get those shots.

This RV Park is called "Netarts by the Bay RV Park and Marina". Somewhat of a misnomer as the marina only consists of a boat launch for smaller aluminum outboards into the bay only at high tide...they go out and set there crab pots then go out later in the day and pick them up. There is no access to the ocean as the bar is considrered too dangerous and shallow.The gal (she's real sweet) and her husband that run this place is all set up to cook your crab for a nominal fee on the patio by the office. so, there it's not a typical marina, no boat slips, etc.

The RV park is, shall I say, a bit rundown. But, the price sure is right at $250 per month. I find it a great location for my excusions north and south. The bathroom and laundry facilities are clean and in good shape.

what a great looking rig and the park looks nice, doesn't look rundown by the pictures.
$250 a month is pretty good, are there a lot of long time guests?

There aren't too many long-term guests. A few big nice 5th wheels are here but the owners only come occasionally, I wouldn't leave mine in the salt air for a long time, they must have tons of money to do that. I think there are about 6 long-tem out of 85 sites.

Funny you should mention that. I saw the sun and ran out and took the photos....just mere minutes later the sun was gone and the wind kicked up...Bought a nice rain coat at the Sporting Goods store in Tillacoom today, heading out tomorrow to the capes and beaches....gonna get my walk daily walk in, if it's the last thing I do.

Good job at posting your rig, looks nice and the rv park looks quiet. Question: On your second pic, looking under the rv at the passenger side tires there's something under there that I can't figure out, is it the coil of the cable wire or something new we need info on? :lol:

That's so funny you should see that. It's the "accordian" sewer hose support. Here's the Story. I arrived here at this park last Thursday evening so I only hooked up my water and power. I needed to buy a coaxial cable and a better quality sewer hose than the one they give you with the trailer. I knew I could let my tanks fill until Monday when I planned to go into town and buy the cable and hose. So, what you see under there is the "accordian-style" ramp for my sewer hose. I got it out and opened it up and then put it under the trailer waiting for today when I would put the new sewer hose on it. Pretty boring answer to your question, huh? Would have been fun if I had some new-fangled gizmo to share with you....but alas, not so.

That is really a great looking rig both inside and outside. You have a great home and I know you will love seeing the world around you while living there. Looking forward to your adventures. Keep safe.
