NEWPORT OREGON RALLY A GREAT
SUCCESS!

Coaches from all over the US converged on Pacific Shores RV
Resort in Newport, Oregon, last month for the summer CAT RV Club
Rally. We had a mix of weather that would keep everyone happy. If
you were tired of 100+ degree days it was cool, with temperatures in
the 50-75 range. For coastal water buffs, fog in the morning. We
might have preferred more afternoon sun . . . but saw essentially no
day time rain. You'll be getting a full report in the
Newsletter early next month. In the meantime enjoy a large
collection of pictures taken during the four days of the
Rally.

Our CAT C-13 was due for a valve lash. While we
were at the CAT RV Club Rally in Newport, OR we heard that Peterson
CAT was running a special on valve lash and oil change at a great p
rice. We called Peterson on Thursday during the Rally and got an
appointment for first thing Monday morning. Peterson even allowed us
to come to their lot area Sunday night and park. We were the
first job in on Monday morning. We opened the bedroom floor
for the valve lash work. The tech laid down drop cloths and was
careful and neat inside the coach. After talking with the tech about
oil level he hit the dipstick calibration line perfectly. We also
got the CAT Club discount on some parts. We were back on the road
just after 1 PM. Our thanks to Bob Stucky and the great service team
at Petersons. They are located on Hwy 34 between Corvallis and
Lebanon, just west of I-5.

There are many reasons to buy a fire extinguisher. It may be
for your boat, RV, home, car or for other reasons. When you go to
Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Lowes, Menards, Home Depot or where ever, how do
you choose the one you need? What do the numbers and letters mean?
How much clean up? Will it do more damage than the fire? How easy is
it to use? How do I maintain it? Can I go to the Fire Department and
will they train
me?

Our CAT C7 engine was overheating during the long climbs into
Cheyenne and we decided 
to see if the CAT dealer could help us out. Our
stop at the Wyoming Machinery Company was pleasurable in every
respect. Justin and Richard in the service department managed to get
our unit into the shop and get the radiator cleaned and ready to go
in a very few hours. The waiting room was clean and comfortable with
all the amenities of a first class facility. Many thanks to Wyoming
Machinery Company.
