Our Baja Amigos Adventure: My wife Sharie and I and 10 other RV-
ers were lucky enough to take the last 28- day tour of Baja from March 5 to April 3. All in all it was a most enjoyable and enlightening tour. Our wagonmasters Dan and Lisa Goy outdid all our expectations. T ey prepared us, guided us, educated us, entertained us and looked aſt er us. Dan also saved a couple of us from a traffi c ticket in La Paz! Before we leſt to start on the trip, I had

For its third consecutive year the
Chapter took part in the Chilliwack City “Pitch In”. T is is a time where community members and groups “Pitch In” to clean up litter on local streets and boulevards. RVers are acutely aware of travelers’ impressions of towns and cities as they pass through or stop for a stay. Litter and trash along the sides of roads and byways create many of these impressions. We can all do our bit to make our own towns and cities more presentable. Aſt er our area of cleanup, Chapter
members shared hot lunch of homemade soup, buns and sandwiches made by members. Another good time of friendship. Lynn Henderson, Secretary/Treasurer (Chilliwack Valley Sams)

received an email stating: “I wouldn’t go there even if you paid me” Obviously a defeatist attitude! T ere are places I would not go in Canada either! We observed no crime, nor heard of any for the entire trip! We met and dealt with many people, venders and others with no problems. If there is any “downer” there is only one: the narrow roads. However watch your speed, pay attention, and don’t drive at night, as you might just run into a cow! I highly recommend anyone planning on
going to the Baja to go with Baja Amigos on your fi rst trip. With over 25 years of experience, the Goys’ will prepare you well for your future travels, and you might even decide to spend much of your future time in Baja! T e scenery is incredible, the people very hospitable, and the food is delicious!

RV Care APP for Traveling RVers: T e RV Care Network recently released
the RV Care APP for smart phones and pads. It is available for both Apple and Android devices and is free to download. T e RV Care APP was designed to help
traveling RV Care customers fi nd the nearest RV Care dealer wherever they are in Canada. Using GPS technology it will safely guide the user to the nearest RV Care location. It also provides detailed information about each RV Care location including hours of operation, lines carried and specialized services available. With the press of a button users can connect to the dealer’s website or phone the dealership. RV Care customers know that when they leave home they can count on the entire network of 60 RV Care dealers across Canada for all their RV needs - just the same as they count on their local RV Care dealer when they’re close to home. While the RV Care Network has been
built on the commitment of dealers providing service and repairs for each other’s traveling customers, a growing strength and value of the program is the loyalty that customers feel towards RV Care dealerships when they’re looking for consumable supplies or the latest accessory they saw at the campground. In fact, the RV Care App is not restricted to RV Care customers. Everyone can download and use it. It’s an excellent tool for any RVer to fi nd a full service RV dealership that is committed to top quality products and service when traveling in Canada. “RV Care dealers are a friendly face in
a far-away place,” says Earl Manning, Vice President of the group. “T e new RV Care APP is a quick and easy way for RV Care customers, and other RV owners, to fi nd the nearest RV Care dealer when they travel.” T e RV Care Network is the largest
network of independent RV dealers in Canada. T ere are 60 RV Care dealers from coast to coast who are all committed to helping the traveling customers of the other RV Care dealers. Learn more about RV Care and the new RV Care APP at
