FUSO meet and greet.

[GR8ADV]

If we were to have a fuso party, what time of year would be best and where should we have it? Should we start by piggy backing on another event or...?

Isuzu not invited?

We are putting the finishing touches on our camper and garage pod and plan to go to the NW overland rally in Plain, WA this summer but I would love to see some of your builds before then.

I would say just have a dedicated camping area at expo

Piggy back onto the Northwest Rally, At last count we had 6 fuso campers in the Vancouver lower mainland area along with a few more in Washington, none of these will go all the way across the world to Flagstaff! There were only two of us there last year, me and Pugsly.

I am liking this. It would be great to see the builds and most excellent to compare things like suspensions and transmissions new to old.

I think you get a discount if you reserve before April at the NW rally.

The NW Rally sounds good to me also (2002 FG).
I'd be heading up from Southern Oregon if anyone wants to 'convoy'.

Is this the rally you all are talking about?

"June 25-28 2015 Plain WA, just 2 hours from Seattle, in the beautiful Cascade Mountains"

That's the one. Maybe swing by and pick up ATW with their Alpha Camper (Fresno) and EC (Bend) along the way.

It would be great if
ATW All Terrain Warrior - http://allterrainwarriors.com/
EC Earth Cruiser - http://earthcruiser.com/
Host Host RV - http://www.hostcampers.com/subs/Expedition/outback_explorer.html
would attend along with any other vendors.
And maybe offer Rally discounts (front ATB diffs...hint hint :sombrero: )

And maybe install them while we hang around and kibitz.

So maybe we should start a list of those Light/Medium/Heavy Japanese Trucks that plan to attend the Northwest Overland Rally and travels route for convoys?

No Isuzu's! The two trucks don't get along, they will fight it out, bad scene! Stay away!

Just kidding, they are so similar it just seems logical and normal that we include Isuzu's and any cab forward design........of course there will be the additional fee required though.

No joke about the additional fee. I contacted the rally to see if we would fit in one space (maybe diagonally ) but they think our 26 foot length plus the garage pod ramp door when it is down merits two 20x20 foot spaces. We will still go though, so add us to the list.
