Fairview, OR Big Truck Show

Fairview, OR Big Truck Show

Well Tom went to the local Big Truck Show held in the Target parking lot. Not a big deal, but fun to watch all the little kids getting to sit in some really big trucks! They are as much fun to see as the trucks themselves. They had give-aways and free popcorn....now we're talking. The big rescue truck was cool. I really enjoyed seeing the equipment these folks have to work with. Actually there is no fire fighting equipment on board. They had several compartments stocked with the "Jaws of Life" equipment. Way kewl.

No much else going on....the weather has decided to straighten up and it is 78* and sunny today. Nice. Our jobs are going good and it is fun to be in Portland this time of year!!!

Just Some RV Park Antics

Funny Looking Fleetwood Limited!

While sitting still for a while it's kinda hard to come with new stuff to post. Only one pic this time. This is a old Fleetwood Limited thats like 40 ft long. I was taken back by the short wheel base. It looks like it could do a "wheelie" if it wanted to! I thought it was funny looking.

I also wanted to share some antics that happened here in the park while under my expert reign!! Ha! Check them out!

RV Park Adventures while being a Park Host at Portland Fairview RV Park

1. Awoken at 2:15 AM with a gentleman telling me he thinks he saw a spider in his water box. No problem with the water, he wondered if I come get it out……he didn’t appear drunk or anything………Yes sir, I’ll get right on that in THE MORNING!
2. Lady rang door bell at 5:15 AM and told me the office wasn’t open and she wanted to mail some post cards as they just “had” to go out. Yes mam, I’ll get right on it!!!
3. Couple from Sweden came at 10:30 PM in a Rental class C. Got him checked in and about an hour later he came to the door to tell me…..I make “boo-boo”. He had put his sewer hose in the irrigation chute instead of the sewer. OH SHIT……come on Clorox…..
4. Lady drove in and wanted me to check out her turn signals not working. She didn’t want to stay overnight……and oh BTW, can you fill my tank with water while it’s here? WTF?
5. Guys pulls in off the street with his toyhauler and drives in a empty site. When I went to investigate….he didn’t want to stay overnight……he just wanted to dump his tanks…..that’s all. Ha!
6. I didn’t see this one, but an 85 yr. old man came in and got a spot for the night in his very upscale 45 ft. MH. Took him almost 30 minutes to get the thing lined up in the pull thru. Next morning he drove off without breaking camp. The sewer hose and electrical cord broke off, but for some weird reason the water hose stayed intact and pulled the PVC water pipe up all the way from the water box at the site to the street and finally the hose broke. The PVC was sticking straight up in the air about 15 ft. high with the hose attached shooting water like a gusher. They only billed the poor old chap for $120 which he paid!!! How would you like to be on the road with this guy?
7. Folks from Norway came in with a 24 ft. Class C rental. Long story short….they were on “holiday”. When I asked how many people, he said 8!! What? 2 Adults and 6 children ages 5 to 20 years. After some conversation they had been touring the US for 32 days!!! What? He explained that in Norway people live in VERY small places. Unbelievable! Asked if they needed WiFi code, he responded, “We don’t allow TV or computer on holiday!! I went on a “security” check to their site just to check this deal out. They were all setting having dinner at 2 picnic tables they had put together. Amazing! Sure wouldn’t want to be in that rig if the stomach flu was going around. Ha!

I think that's enough for now!
