    Retraction

    Because of issues beyond my control I have to retract my availability of a site for a RV. I thought I could help people out but it will not happen. I am sorry for any issues that I may have created Pat The Old Sailor.
  3. At this time it doesn't look like we'll be there because of plans for Hawaii but if we could we would get one of the cabins. If nothing else we would be at the Happy Hours! Our first ECR was here at Va Beach in 2010. We were there with our 37' Cardinal and 550 Ford. Had a great time. We went to the 2011 ECR at Myrtle Beach and stayed in a condo. We bought Pats Pride in May of 2011 and towed with it for 10 Years. Miss It! Once you tow with a rear truck you won't tow with anything else. The invite is open to anyone coming to the area. Power h20 and black water hookup. Its free! Pat The Old Sailor The Old Sailor
  4. Carl And Donna I haven't been on the site in along time and this is the first time I found out about your PL change. Glad it isn't health related but after all you two have done to make the ECR a great get together I know it must be a really important issue with y'all. I really want to thank you for all that you did to make the 5 ECR's we got to attend a really great time. And as you said we got to meet a great group of people and make a bunch of new friends. We sold Pats Pride and the 5er right after the ECR in 2021. With the price of fuel now maybe we made the right choice at the right time. I miss it but Shirley was ready to get out of "That Big Truck". If you still are able to hit the road upon occasion and you get out our way know that We can put you on the slab with power, h2o, and blackwater hookup. Take care and know you are in our prayers. 757-646-1686. Pat and Shirley The Old Sailor

    HDT advice

    Truck Do you still live in Va? I live in Chesapeake And there are 2 of us who use to or still do have a Volvo for a 5er. Where exactly do you live? If you plan on buying a truck and making it a RV good luck. Va is really tough trying to get it titled as a RV. Love to talk trucks so give me a call if you are still around. 757 646 1686 Pat The Old Sailor
  6. Chet    Just  a few words. Wonder how the health issues are going? I haven't been on the forum lately but I saw your answer IRT the wiring issue. Hope y'all are doing better. i'll give you a call shortly. I've gotten the lathe cleaned up and it's been doing fine. The next time your son-in-law is in town y'all need to come over and check it out. But i'll call and get a health update first. Both of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Know we think and speak of you 2 often and if by chance there is anything I can do to help you just let me know.      Always,     Pat and Shirley

  7. Cory Have a great trip and remember if you get out here to the east coast of Va we can put you the 5er and the truck up for your visit with power and drainage. And a tour the the worlds largest naval Base. Just relax and enjoy the scenery. Have a great summer!! Pat The Old Sailor
  8. Just been reading the post and sure do miss being there. If we hadn't sold the truck and the 5er we would have been there. Just thinking about the great people we won't get to see is depressing. Just want to tell everybody we sure miss being there and making new friends but life goes on. So everybody there have a great time and enjoy every minute because life is really short. Life is so short you should eat the desert first!! Take advantage of every "Happy Hour" Anybody that heads to Va Beach area just know that we have a very empty slab that would welcome a real truck and 5er. With availability of spaces real tight let me know if you need one. Full hookups and a tour of the worlds largest Naval Base is part of the package!! 757 646 1686.is my cell #. Again hope everybody has a great time and safe travels Pat The Old Sailor

    Bed Build Planning

    Great looking Bed! Being able to do it yourself gives a person a real since of accomplishment. You and your assistant did a magnificent job. Something to be proud of because you did it "Yourself". I wish we could be at the ECR but having sold Pats Pride after towing with it for 10 years we don't have anything to tow! So have a great week and our thoughts will be there even if we aren't. Pat The Old Sailor

    Pats Pride Is Gone

    It was a great run. We met a lot of great people, made a bunch of new friends, got to see a lot of our great US. However things change and we are now without. We talk about getting a little C but as of yet haven't looked to hard. So now that the slab that had a truck and 5er on it for 18 years is empty and very barren. If anyone is in our area, Va Beach Williamsburg Va. area we can offer a site for a 5er and a HDT. W power and water And we can dump tanks. 757-646-1686. We do have a happy hour here. We had Pats Pride for 10 years. When I am thinking about towing with it I still get a big grin upon my face!! But all things change. I'll still hang around on the site and always be here if anyone is in town and needs help or a tour of the Worlds Largest Naval Base. Stay safe and healthy. Pat The Old Sailor

    Hood Removal

    Carl When I was headed to the ECR in 2016 i painted the hood in the back yard. Looked real good and the price was right. Just takes time to tape and some fore thought about how you are going to reach the highs and the lows. Be sure to be careful with over spray. Find a body man/painter and have him spray it. Just a thought. Pat The Old Sailor
  12. TW It did take 5 years to get her to change her mind. That was the good news now the bad news , we sold the 5er and the Pride. We are now without anything sitting on the slab. A sad time in Flat Rock. Maybe a small C will be in the future but time will really tell.Text or call anytime. Be safe and take care. Pat The Old Sailor

    I bought a truck

    Great looking rig. You'll be happy when you get on the road! Pat The Old Sailor
  14. We want to thank Carl and Donna and everyone else that helped in making this years ECR a Great Success! We really had a good time and enjoyed meeting old friends and making some new ones. It was a bit chilly the last few days but we enjoyed it none the less. i also want to thank Chit (Never Easy) for helping find the ground issue I looked for 5 days. He found it in 40 minutes! The man is a Wizard!!! Pats Pride ran like a top coming home. it was a very enjoyable trip. Hope to see everyone next year. Pat The Old Sailor
  15. That is why them doubled the frame! Pat The Old Sailor
