The following extract from an
article is by, and reproduced from,
JUSTINE GRIFFIN, St. Augustine Record
Link
to full story
More and more glowing aluminum trailers
will dot the St. Johns County
Fairgrounds this week as a group of
Airstream motor home enthusiasts set up
camp there.
Members of the Wally Byam Caravan Club
International Florida Unit will camp at
the fairgrounds off State Road 207
through the holiday weekend and enjoy
shared meals and entertainment at their
campsites, said Frank Carson, the
director of the rally.
"The facilities here are knock 'em
dead," Carson said. "We really couldn't
ask for better."
By Wednesday afternoon, several dozen of
the round, silver trailer rigs were set
up across the large lawn of the
fairgrounds. Their shimmery casings were
easily visible from the roadway.
The caravanning group has returned to
St. Augustine this year even though some
tension with county commissioners almost
canceled the trip completely, Carson
said.
According to a leter to the editor in
November, "St. Johns County instituted a
new rate schedule on Oct. 1, 2010. The
resident rate skyrocketed more than 200
percent for the week. We had to set our
rally fee by Sept. 1 and did so based on
the proposed rate schedule and published
it. |
|
"The
county is really just shooting themselves in
the foot":
"Now unknown additional costs, loss of
kitchen facilities due to fire code
violations, and the intransigence of the
county fairgrounds administrators will cause
us to lose money. We have no alternative but
to cancel the rally."
"The county is really just shooting
themselves in the foot," Carson said.
Carson said the raised rates are what almost
canceled the trip completely. Members who
live in St. Augustine were able to secure a
discounted rate, however, which allowed the
group to still afford the trip.
 |
"Isn't that aluminum just
beautiful? You could use it to put on
your makeup":
The group has traveled to spend the
Easter holiday in St. Augustine for the
last 15 years, Carson said. "It wasn't
that the fees went up; it's that we
waived them in the past," said Karen
Pan, public information specialst for
St. Johns County. "We're making
decisions like this in departments
across the county because of the tough
budget."
Pan said that fees are being charged at
properties like the fairgrounds because
there are costs associated with just
operating the facility.
Yvette and John Landry spent a few days
pulling their 1993 Airstream classic
from Kaplin, La., to St. Augustine. By
Wednesday afternoon they were happily
settled among many other silver rigs at
the fairgrounds.
"Isn't that aluminum just beautiful? You
could use it to put on your makeup,"
said Yvette Landry, 80.
The Landrys travel with their Airstream
a few times a year. This was the first
time the couple traveled to St.
Augustine.
"Everything we do here helps your
economy," said John Landry, a retired
band director. "We're out spending money
in your town.".

| Re: Fulltiming | Simonne | Looking for male companion who has a motor home and is looking for a travel partner. I use to own a 35 ft Winnebago but sold it after my husband past away. I loved traveling with a motor home and miss it. I am 69, good looking, 5'7" tall 150 lbs. I am very active and healthy and take care of myself. I can help with expenses, cooking, and cleaning. I am very particular and neat and would like the same. I do not like slobs (sorry). My goal was to see the capital of all the states. On the way we would stop and see museum, flea markets, antiques shops. Go to the movies or theaters here and there. Staying in campgrouds for short times and enjoying playing cards and games with others there. I am open to try new things and adventurers. But motorcycle and snow mobile is not for me. Looking for a good gentlemen, caring, thoughtful man that is easy to get along with as I can be. I do not smoke, do drugs or drink. And I do not want someone who does (a social drink on occasion is OK) If interested send me an e-mail with your picture and info about yourself at(sim2travel@yahoo.com) And please no scam and be honest. At my age I don't have time for foolish stuff. I am retired and just want to enjoy what time we have left. |

| Re: Jayco Melbourne class C motorhome | MarkintheGardens | We have owned a 2010 Melbourne 29D for a little over a year.
First, to jaybird, I think the 38'-8" is a typo. Our 29D is their largest model and I'm pretty sure it's about 31'-8". As far as handling, I think it handles very well. This is our first motorhome as owners, although we have rented a few times. It does react to cross winds and passing semis (don't they all?) We tow a Jeep Wrangler and even with our inexperience we have done well.
As far as the actual coach, we bought this one from a local dealership that had it listed on consignment with 8,300 mi. We really liked the layout. Three slides makes it appear much more roomy. It's been perfect for the two of us and our two puppies.
However, it seems that we have had more than our share of trouble (AC fan went out, Water heater died). Some of it has been covered by the maker of each component, others have been under our after-market extended warranty.
Forget getting ANY help from JAYCO as a second owner. After several months, we noticed the floor in the galley felt "soft". It was discovered that the water system control valve connections were dripping. Apparently they had been dripping for a really long time and probably had not been properly tightened at the factory. JAYCO refused to do anything about the repair. With that kind of QC and zero support, I would not recommend them. |
