Wolf (my dog) and I will be in B 31 (assuming I can back the thing up ), along with my son and his 3 daughters. I had a practice session in a nearby shopping center parking lot, and managed not to damage anything! I got an Escape 17 and with airbags and an equalizer hitch from it to my Toyota Sienna, so going forward is becoming easier.
I would be delighted to check out the Olivers. Jim and his wife brought one to Sacramento where I saw them in the "flesh". They have a lot of nice features and are well constructed.
However, the Escape was a better fit for me, and I am very happy with it.
Now, I'm trying to make sure I don't forget anything, as I will be there a couple of days earlier. This, (other than the trip down from Canada, where the Escape is made) will be my first lengthy venture out. The Siskiyou pass decent is the major towing hurdle, the balance should be smooth sailing.
Again, I'm looking forward to this event and meeting you all.
