Good restaurant / bar, hot tub and sauna … almost in the restaurant. Very nice people and great accomodations … dogs allowed.... well maybe not in the hot tub. But best of all, a 20% discount when there to do business with ETI and a further discount for using US dollars. Makes it quite reasonable. Be sure and tell them you are picking up your trailer.

And congratulations!

Tom

We stayed there also, 3 nights, sun-tues, before our Wednesday pickup. We got hooked on the belgian waffles for breakfast. They let us have a late checkout on Wednesday so that we could unload the truck and reload the trailer in the parking lot. Great also for out 2 dogs, first floor, right by an exit for those night time walks.

If you happen to travel alot and have HHonors points, there is a new and modern Hampton Inn there as well. Have stayed twice and didn't cost a cent.

It was fun talking to you and your wife at the Walmart in Calis before your trip West. Hope you are enjoying the new Escape. From Larry and Candace from Hebron, N.H.

Hello folks.......yes we are enjoying the camper very much. After a 9 day drive out to Chiliwack to get it, we spent 17 days coming home with it, arriving home last Friday evening

We went out from maine on 95 to 495 to 90 to 94, back on 90.......did not like it out as we had to go through Chicago. Way back we took 90 then down through iowa to 80 then over to 90 until Utica NY......came back through northern NY into Vermont, NH, then northern Maine

Also from Maine. We picked up our 19 on May 8 this year. On the trip out and back we traveled through Quebec and Ontario crossing at Sault Ste. Marie, thus avoiding Chicago and other cities.

Yet another Mainah heading to Chilliwack soon. I'm leaving Sept 22 for my October 2nd orientation / pick up. Giving myself a bit extra travel time as I have 'fulltiming business' to take care of in SD.
