As some of you know,
for several years I
have been the chair of
a committee that has
been trying to clarify
driver’s license regulations for towing larger
fifth wheels in Ontario.
Well it was finally
passed this year - there
is another article in the
magazine about it. I
would like to personally
thank Minister Kathleen
Wynne and all the staff
at the MTO that worked
to solve this problem.

With full-body paint and
tinted glass, the Vacationer
looks like a million bucks – but it
is surprisingly affordable for a
motorhome of this size.
The spacious galley and L-shaped lounge
occupy the slide-out section on the passenger
side of the motorhome.
32
Four or more people will enjoy the comfort of the lounge
– the unique design expands by one cushion width, and
retracts for travel.

headboard in the slide-out section allows
for a generous closet at the foot of the bed.

With a peninsula shaped galley counter, the
Alpine provides a wonderful interior floor plan

The Fun
is
Getting
There!
Why did we spend thousands of dollars on an RV? Why do we travel
thousands of miles every winter to find our way to the friendly climes of
the south-west USA?
Of course, we go to the south-west USA to escape the snow and cold
of the Canadian winter. We travel in our RV for freedom, comfort and
economy. We explore the thousands of miles for the adventure!
By Lynne Benjamin
Every year, a different
adventure!

celebrated our 40th anniversary
with a series of draws at the various
RV shows across Canada.
Thank you to our sponsors: Canadian Tire for the Motomaster Nautilus Recreational
Power Packs; Koolatron; and Micro 50 for their generous support. It was a pleasure to be
able to share the celebration with so many of our readers across the country.
Wayne and Jean Heximer, of Fort Erie, Ontario were the
lucky winners of the Canadian Tire Motomaster Nautilus
Recreational Power Pack at the Hamilton RV Show.
Wayne and Jean just bought their second 5th Wheel - a
38’ Stoneridge by KZ. The couple has two grown children,
and they have been enjoying the RV lifestyle for many years.
Recent trips have included adventures in Alaska and the
Maritimes. “Our next trip will be to Newfoundland” they told us
when they came to pick up their prize!
Congratulations to Roy and Susi Owen, of Stoney Creek,
Ontario, winners of our RV Lifestyle Magazine door prize at the
Toronto RV Show. Roy and Susi own a 31-foot Keystone Cougar
5th wheel. They have travelled to Florida numerous times, as
well as Myrtle Beach and Northern Canada, enjoying recreational
time with their two school aged children. Roy poses with his prize
a Motomaster Nautilus Recreational Power Pack courtesy of
Canadian Tire.
Our Western Canada RV show winner is Einer Poulsen, of
Kelowna, BC. Einer and his wife are tenters who are getting
ready to move up to a new tent trailer. A friend purchased a gift
subscription for them, and they were the lucky winners of the
Canadian Tire Motomaster Nautilus Recreational Power Pack
that we gave away at the Abbotsford, BC Early Bird RV Show.
