New Roadmaster Tow Bar

On August 25 Mike had ordered a Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar, a tow bar cover and an electrical cord from HitchFinder in Minnesota and we would be able to pick them up at the factory in Vancouver.

The tow bar was on back order for internet orders and it was going to be mid-September before we could get it. Mike talked with Deanna on yesterday and she was going to talk with the warehouse supervisor to see if they could pull a tow bar from production so we could get it earlier.

We got a call this morning from Roadmaster that we could come down to their factory in Vancouver and pick up our new tow bar. So after breakfast we headed down to the Roadmaster factory in Vancouver which is 120 miles south of here.

When we were about 20 miles north of Vancouver, we stopped at a McDonald's at Woodland for lunch and since we were near a Safeway, I went in to look for a couple of items I hadn't been able to find at the commissary.

When we got to Roadmaster we went to the office and we were directed to go the Installation section where we picked up the tow bar, cover and electric cable.

On the way back to Ft. Lewis we stopped at the Safeway at Woodland again to get gas in the Vue ($3.769 a gal).

After we got back to the campground, Mike took our old tow bar off the receiver hitch and put our new tow bar on.

We still haven't taken any photos here at the campground, we'll have to do that tomorrow.
