Vintage trailer rallies in Oregon?

[Diana Feke]

Hello Good Old RVs,

 

My husband and I enjoy vintage trailers and we found a group of

other people that enjoy the same thing. They have rallies in Oregon

for any type of vintage trailer.

Hi Diana - there's a group on Facebook, "Rollin' Oldies Vintage Trailers" that is pretty active. We just went to the yearly rally @ Sweet Home, Oregon where they had over 40 vintage trailers. They're planning 2 events (actually this fall), but you should get on FB, join the group & start getting the info & updates!
I'll send you all the websites & info, but for some reason, they don't appear as links - you'll have to copy/paste the entire web address into your browser to get to the web pages:

Hello everyone,
A 2010 central Oregon Campout/Rally has been discussed off and on for the last year and after having so much fun with all of you at the recent River Bend Rally, I'm taking the plunge and hosting an ROVT campout in beautiful Camp Sherman, Oregon for the weekend of September 24th - 26th, 2010.
I have reserved 15 sites at the Black Butte Resort and RV park. Details are as follows:
Please refer to the site map at the link provided below. There is an additional link to park photos further down in this message.
http://www.blackbutterv.com/Resort%20Map.pdf
The following sites have been reserved for our group.
11, 12A, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20A 21, 22, 23A, 23B , 24A, 24B, 25B, 26A (26A shows as 26 on map)
Important: You will be responsible for calling the park yourself and reserving one of the available sites with your credit card. This is their policy for groups. They will be first come, first served. The park management has graciously offered to hold these sites for me until August 1st, so you can have time to make plans. After that they will be released to the public. I'd advise that you reserve right away though, as there are only 15 and there has been considerable interest in something like this, which led to my decision to go for it. Please reserve only if you fully intend to be there.
Upon making your reservation please contact me immediately so I will know which site you have taken.
Please include your site#, name, address, phone, and year and make of trailer.
Once the sites have been filled I will send out a blanket email letting everyone know. After that I will keep a standby list in case of cancellations or if I can pick up more sites.
If you have to cancel your reservation PLEASE email and let me know!! It's not the park's responsibility to call me if someone cancels. It's yours.
I have negotiated the following terms for the group:
Cost: $53 including tax.
Check in: Friday Sept. 24 after 2PM.
Check out: Sunday Sept. 26 by 4PM.
**************************************************************Agenda: (subject to change)
*Trailer Open House - Saturday from 1-4 p.m.. Public and passers-by will be invited, but the event will not be advertised in the media.
*Night Glow Open House - Saturday night from 8-9 p.m. (optional) Show everyone how beautiful your coach looks all lit up at night! This is for Members Only.
*Possible swap meet in the meeting room Saturday morning if there is enough interest.
That's it! Your time for the most part will be your own. Bring your own everything, enjoy the beautiful Metolius River area and have fun!
We will have the use of all park facilities including restrooms, showers, horseshoe pit, group fire pit, sewer dump, and a meeting room if we want to use it.
Sites 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17 are full hookup sites (Power, water, and sewer)
The rest have power and water. There are no dry sites. Sites outlined on the map with dotted lines are on grass. The rest are graveled with concrete patio slabs. Bring leveling boards to park on as there tends to be a little side slope to some of the sites.
Sincerely,
Don and Kathy Denning.

NEXT year's annual vintage trailer rally at beautiful River Bend County Park in Sweet Home, Oregon -
June 24-25-26th, 2011
Here's the info from Jerry, the FB group leader regarding next June's annual Oregon rally: "Friends,
Our 2010 Vintage Trailer Rally is now history and everyone is looking towards our 2011 rally at River Bend campgrounds. The dates of June 24-25-26th, 2011 have been reserved for ROVT's 5th annual rally! Our 2010 rally was a smashing success with the campground being filled to capacity and did we have fun. WOW!
At the writing of this update, we only have two electrical/Water sites left along with five dry sites. 90% of the participants at our rally this year signed up for 2011. We had a lot of "newbies" that had never attended a vintage trailer rally and were surprised how laid back and fun they could be and was. I will be starting a "wait" list for cancellations during the year for those of you that may still want to get a spot later down the road. 2010 was a very successful rally and we plan on 2011 being as good or better! More about the rally in your July email newletter coming out soon.. Happy camping!
Jerry"

My daughter turned an old travel trailer into a food truck. She is moving and towing it cross country from Portland OR back home to Winchester VA. I don't know that she did much if anything related to road worthiness when she built the food cart. What should she do maintenance wise before she leaves to make sure it will make it cross country? Can you recommend anyone in Portland OR who does maintenance work on old trailers?
