We named our Spacegear the Blue Traveller hoping to do a lot trips, long and short. However due to work and other commitments, many trips did not materialize. Last year in early July, we made a 9 day trip to the coast of Oregon starting from Astoria. We enjoyed the beauty and sights of the Oregon coast staying in several campgounds for a few nights each. The kids wanted to visit the Winston Wildlife Safari just south of Roseburg, Oregon so we did that very long trip from Newport to Winston early one morning, Enjoyed the wildlife safari during the day and drove back to our next campground near Portland just before dark. WE stayed a couple more nights before heading back to home.
Earlier on in the trip, I blended 20 liters of WVO with 45 liters of diesel. on that last part of the trip where I knew I would burn thru a tank of fuel on a 450 km stretch, the blend was 40 liters of WVO to 25 liters diesel . I am happy to report that the Blue Traveller performed flawlessly during the entire trip. This is the Blue Traveller during that trip.

Last June, we were at it again. The Blue Traveller took us to Ocean Shores, Washington but with a new partner. It was a short but fun trip considering that we were right by the water. I can now confirm that the Blue Traveller can tow a 2500 lb trailer with ease at least on none mountainous routes.
