Toured the Citation/Corsair General Coach factory

Toured the Citation/Corsair General Coach factory here in Oliver this morning, they have just spent 1/2 million dollars retooling so that they can also produce Park Model trailers, the type that are now found in many RV parks, generally they are about 500 square feet, and suit a couple of people, no more, often for seasonal use.

Their RVs are very high end, and they are very proud of their products, justifiably so. We enjoyed seeing how they are made, and having an Xray look into their units, as if you peel back the fibreglass skin and look into the guts of the trailers.

We miss our dinette, both the storage and the comfort. The valances on the window coverings take up about 4 inches of room, and the chairs are somewhat crowded into the space. Also the table has a leaf which occupies a bit more space too. Oh me, we are toying with the idea of having a dinette made, but not sure about that as yet.

Just adapting to a different configuration of space, after all we have had the previous unit for 5 years or so, and have had lots of good times in it.

Naturally like many people we realized when we moved our stuff from one trailer to the other that we likely have it rather overloaded. So we're attempting to remedy that somewhat.

It's a warm Okanagan day today, there is an overcast sky but it's bright and warm, so we both have shorts on again. Hooray.

We're heading off tomorrow to have dinner with our pals Grant and Katie Long, Di worked with Katie at Pemberton Holmes many long years ago, and they have a super new house here just above where we are camped, on Tuc El Nuit Lake, at Desert Lake campsite.

The carp fish in the lake are jumping right out, it is very interesting to see. Perhaps they are happy to eat the springtime bugs.

All around the edge of the lake there are willow trees coming into leaf, so it's very pretty, a soft yellow/green hazy look to them at the moment.

Thursday we'll head off to Keremeos and see if our friends Gordon and Bernice Elderkin are there in their park. They don't have cell phone coverage there, so are a bit harder to contact.

Then we'll likely head down toward the coast and home.
