Highlights From The NM Excel Club Campout

2011-09-26T20:32:00.005-06:00

The New Mexico Excel Club Fall Campout 2011 will go down in the history book as a wonderful time. This year we tried out a new spot in Bayfield, CO. Bayfield Riverside RV Park was beautiful. Fishing, walking trails and an alpaca (Al).
We had a chilie cook-off for dinner on Saturday night, and Friday Night Finger Foods on Sunday night... yip Sunday (but Sunday Night Finger Foods doesn't sound good). The town of Bayfield provided us entertainment with a sheep drive down the highway, and fireworks one night. The weather couldn't have been better! Warm and sunny each day, with cool evenings, making sitting around a campfire the perfect way to end each day.

Enjoy the below pictures:

Can't wait for the next campout. Happy trails to everyone until then!

The Great RV Sales Race

2011-08-31T18:00:00.000-06:00

I know what your thinking..... Does the fun ever end at RV Sales? The answer is NO.

Today Ralph and Chris decided they should have a race (boys will be boys) and were trying to stir up bets. Buffie and Jill said they would only bet if Kathy was in the race and they could bet on her (everyone knows Kathy is the fastest runner). By 2:30 Brian,Chris and Ralph were ready to race... Kathy being so smart declined.
The race was going to start as the dumpster and go out into the parking lot. No one thought that maybe the gravel would cause a hazard.
First Brian went down, followed by Ralph.

Kathy sighed... "oh Ralph"

Blood


More blood


But we're going to do it again, in the dirt this time, and Keven joins in on the fun.

On your mark Get set GOOOOO

Raleigh the line judge says that Brian was first followed by Chris and Keven.

Ok, back to work.

How half of RV Sales employees almost ended up in jail last night

2011-08-25T11:53:00.000-06:00

Names have been changed to protect the guilty!

Caution: Graphic Pictures below

It all started 10 days ago when Jackie’s dog was attacked bya WILD pack of coyotes.

(see pictures)
Now this alleged pack of coyotes have been seen stalking Jackie’smother JoMamma when she’s out on her morning walks, leaving JoMamma feeling abit unnerved.

Yesterday while eating lunch in RV Sales kitchen Jackiehired a hit man AKA Dr. Woolf to “take care of the problem”. Witnesses reportthat no money was exchanged for said service, but no one knows what happenedunder the table.

What is known, is that at 8:00 PM Dr. Woolf along with two armedassociates (one who is a minor) showed up at Jackie’s home with weapons, and acoyote caller (there’s an app for that), and began “calling’ the Coyotes out ofhiding. At one point five coyotes were seen answering the call. Jackie stated, “whoknows how many were on their way out of the woods!” At this point Jackie,JoMamma, and Dr Woolf were seen on the back porch drinking wine (allegedly froma box no less) while the armed associates drove down the valley in search of thepack of coyotes. It was reported thatthe minor Wyatt Cody Earp was driving the truck with Wild Chris Hickok in the bed of the truck armed withhis rifle. Shots rang out in the valley, and then sirens.

Three Sheriffofficers pulled onto the scene, weapons drawn and megaphones instructing thealleged gunslingers to drop their weapons. After a pat down (only a knife was found on WildChris Hickok) the gunslingers were instructed to NOT shoot coyotes unless you or your animals arein immediate danger. After a firm talking to only a warning was given, and all parties were released on their own recognizance .

Lesson Learned!
Jackie said, "Next time she'll hire a professional".

Ken's New Trailer

2011-04-06T06:54:00.004-06:00

Warning: I said to Ken, "Ken.... let me know when you're ready for me to come out and get pictures of your trailer, Please have your undies picked up off the floor!"
I didn't say, "Ken... please have your trailer packed up and ready to go." But that's what I got pictures of, not the catalog living shots of Ken sipping coffee at the table like I had hoped for. So you will have to use your imagination.
Ken is one of our full timing family members. He special ordered this beautiful trailer from the factory back in December. It's going to be perfect for him and his travels. Next to the TV, under the window is a special desk made desk for Ken.

Hacienda Resort has made repairs to their wonderful dog run. It was damaged last summer from a heavy rain.
Gabby and Raleigh have visited the dog walk and say it's back and it's great! They have also broken it in for all their friends that will come to the spring rally.
Raleigh and Gabby LOVE this dog run! And boy do they run.
Gabby is being a show off.
The damage is still there, but has been fenced off so the dogs can't go near it.

Happy Birthday Vaughn!

2010-12-09T14:06:00.002-07:00

Today is Vaughn Peterson's 80th Birthday! We wish him a wonderful day and many happy and healthy years to come.

Below is the email Peterson Industries sent out:

Peterson Industries, Inc.

SPECIAL EVENT!

It Truly Is All About Family!

Our Founder Turns 80

If you come to Smith Center, KS for a factory tour, you're more likely to find Vaughn Peterson in the plant building a jig or refining a procedure than in his office!

VAUGHN DEAN PETERSON

BORN: December 9, 1930

MILITARY SERVICE: U.S. Army, 2nd Lieutenant

FOUNDED COMPANY: 1966

MARRIED TO: Duana Jane

September 23, 1983

CHILDREN: Drew, Becca, Randy

I GET THE MOST SATISFACTION FROM: Building a quality product and earning a good reputation!

Dear Buffie,

You are invited to come celebrate Vaughn Peterson's 80th birthday celebration Thursday, December 9, 2010 from 1:00pm - 4:30pm.

The reception will be held in our office, featuring punch, cake, cookies and lots of special memories.

SSHHHHH!!! Believe it or not, we're going to try to pull this off without Vaughn finding out (Since he doesn't have email).

It Started With A Dream

After serving his country in the Army, Vaughn became a partner in a private company handling waste removal from military bases. He learned quickly the consequences of getting involved with "High Rollers" and decided that life wasn't for him.

Tired of big city, Vaughn came back home in 1965 with little except his entrepreneurial spirit. He realized if he wanted to accumulate wealth in a small town, his best bet would be to get into manufacturing of some kind.

After sharing his dream with his dad, Leonard, they decided they would like to try building slide-in pickup campers, so off to Colorado they went to visit an established camper manufacturer, Red Dale Campers.

Red gave Vaughn and Leonard a great tour, then they sat and shared ideas. Vaughn still smiles when he talks about Red's parting words. "Vaughn and Leonard. I think you have a great idea about getting into the camper manufacturing business. But the only problem I see is that you're getting in about 10 years too late!"

Not too many years after that, Red Dale ceased operations. Peterson Industries, Inc. is still in business, manufacturing the highest rated "Dealer Based" towable RV's in the industry.

Vaughn has led his company through 3 gas crises, 2 economic recessions, and a fire that completely destroyed his facility in 1983, as well as the recent economic crisis, with strong leadership and integrity, while providing hundreds of employees in North Central Kansas opportunities to succeed in dreams of their own.

Our rural community of Smith Center, KS would not be the thriving small town it is if not for Vaughn's passion!

Card Shower

Of course you're invited to attend our reception for Vaughn from 1:00pm - 4:30pm on December 9. But if you can't make it, and would like to take the opportunity to wish him a happy birthday, we are having a card shower for him.

Can you imagine how touched he would be to hear from most of our 7,000 family members?

Through Vaughn's integrity, caring of others, and desire to provide a quality product for us all to enjoy through the years, he has touched each of us.

Please wish him the happiest 80th birthday one can have by sending him a card to:

Vaughn's Big Day
c/o Peterson Industries, Inc.
616 East Highway 36
Smith Center, KS 66967

Please mail your card prior to November 30, 2010 to assure it's "On time" arrival. We are going to withhold all of his cards and present them to him at once on his birthday!

Halloween @ RV Sales

2010-11-01T20:35:00.002-06:00

Sighhh.... another Halloween has come and gone.
So much work and so much fun! We raised a BUNCH of money and gathered a TON of canned goods for Bethel Storehouse in Moriarty. We will have a better idea of the amounts in a few days.... We'll keep you posted.

Winterizing Extravaganza Open House

2010-10-16T20:12:00.002-06:00

We had a great time this weekend at our open house.
We not only helped people winterize their trailers, but we also gave some day/night shade restring lessons. Bryan the president of Peterson Industries was here to visit with everyone and answer questions. Tim and Rosie shared their experiences of living "on the road" full time. Dave was the master of the grill, and cooked up some mean burgers and dogs.

Excel's new 36CFE

2010-10-14T20:06:00.006-06:00

The new 36CFE is a beauty!
The first thing that will catch your eye is the amazing kitchen with it‘s abundant cabinets and counter space. Next is the center fireplace, which separates the living area from the kitchen.
You can kick your feet up and enjoy the ambiance the fireplace offers,
or watch a good game on the large TV.

If you full-time or just like to rough it in ultimate comfort
you will love the floor plan and all the smart storage space this unit offers.

The bathroom and bedroom are beyond luxurious.
When your in the walk-thru bathroom you’ll forget you’re in a 5th wheel.
The way it opens up into the bedroom makes it live large!

Come by and see this trailer when you’re in our neck of the woods.

Excel Clubs Fall Campouts

2010-10-02T11:14:00.002-06:00

We had such a wonderful time at both the Colorado and New Mexico Excel Clubs Fall Campouts.
It's always such a blessing to be able to spend time with our friends enjoying conversations, campfires, and wonderful meals. Creede, Colorado was a beautiful setting for both weekends.
We are already looking forward to the spring campouts!

Colorado Club

You can really see the difference in the leaves changing between CO and NM. What a difference a couple weeks can make.

Continuation of Miller’s awning arm….

2010-10-02T10:55:00.003-06:00

Jim and Verna had been racking their brains trying to figure out how they were going to fix the awning arm from the Kool Kids Kampout disaster (read previous post to see the whole story). Verna put her foot down at the Colorado Excel Club Campout in Creede and told Jim he had to figure something out because she could NOT take one more day without shade from her awning! Jim decided he would use his wood carving skills and make his own awning arm from the pile of firewood he found.

Little did he know that at the very same time Kathy was working in her workshop (a lot like Santa’s workshop) and crafting an awning arm that would fit perfect!

When Kathy arrived at the campout she found Jim covered in wood splinters, and Verna sunburned. She quickly and effortlessly installed the new awning arm, gave Jim some tweezers and Verna a bottle of Aloe ointment.
The crowds cheered, and everyone lived happily ever after.

It’s time to tell the story of --- The Kool Kids Kampout---

2010-08-20T21:24:00.009-06:00

What a wonderful time! Rye, Colorado is gorgeous, Lake San Isabel just down the road, Bishops Castle close by, and four wheeling trails in all directions.
The weather was lovely and we got to enjoy a few mountain showers which are the perfect backdrop for nap time.
The campground has a “bear problem” (see picture with the bucket of the tractor on the trash dumpster….. It’s how they bear proofed it) and we were all told to keep our truck doors locked because apparently the bears can open doors. I wonder if you leave the keys in if they could drive too?

We shared some impromptu pot luck meals, and enjoyed music entertainment AKA Jam Session, put on by some of the campers that stay at the campground all summer. One was even an Elvis look alike.
The weekend was relaxing, laid back and full of fun memories with dear friends!

Read Below if your dare…. It’s a scary story of what can happen to anyone at anytime in any campground.
It was the evening after most of the Kool Kids had left the campout. Only the Koolest of the Kool were left behind.
There was a serious rainstorm that started around dinner time. All the Kool Kids were in their trailers eating dinner and keeping dry…. Or so we thought.

Savanna and her fearless K-9 Gabby were out fly fishing in the stream that the storm had created. When all of a sudden Larry jumped on the picnic table and tried to surf down the stream.

Patty who knows that Larry isn’t a strong surfer came tearing out of her trailer,
leaving tire marks in the grass

just in time to see Gary get struck by lighting (because he was flying a kite with a key on it). Verna who saw Larry coming straight for their trailer on his surfing picnic table yelled to Jim (who was in the bathroom) but it was too late…. Larry took out the awning and was wrapped up in it like a burrito. The jolt of it cause Jim (still in the bathroom) to suffer with whiplash.

Scott came flying over on his golf cart to see if he could help, but the chaos was too great. So he had to climb onto the trailer and work on crowd control….

The crowd consisting of Pat, Buffie, Tommy, Cherry, Connie, Lyle and Lauren.

The truer story is: A LARGE trailer (toy hauler) had just checked in at the office, and they were heading to their spot…. Going the wrong way. They cut the turn too short and took out the awning arm of Jim and Verna’s trailer. But I like my story much better!

Excel's New Travel Trailer

2010-07-27T12:11:00.003-06:00

Peterson Industries has re-entered the travel trailer market! You can expect cutting-edge design and spectacular features just like what you have come to know in the 5th wheels.

Peterson's invented the groundbreaking "Drop Z" fifthweel frame, and has put the same design in the new Winslow Travel Trailer. This gives the travel trailer 100 cubic feet of storage in the basement. The 17-inch high storage compartment is beneath the entire front third of the trailer.

This trailer can also offer an on-board generator, and a dedicated compartment is large enough to accommodate dual batteries.

The travel trailer we had, has now left us for CA for a photo shoot (look for it in up coming RVing publications). But don't worry.... we have more on the way.

Ken's new potty

2010-05-19T19:54:00.002-06:00

Ken came in for service and left with a new potty!
For whatever reason (or reasons we don’t care to hear about) Ken has been having issues with the seals in his potty. So he opted to try out a new style of potty we had just gotten in. Best thing about this new potty is that the seal is a snap to change. So we figured, (again, for reasons we don’t care to hear about)… Ken was the perfect one to try it out and give us feed back on it.
Thanks Ken for being our research guinea pig.

One last post and slideshow from the Spring Campouts.

This was our last day in CO City. It was a cool day, yet to nice to stay held up in your trailer. So we gathered around two fire dancers and had a wonderful time with friends.
Can’t wait for the fall campouts!

BINGO and the winner of the generator!

2010-05-01T21:59:00.000-06:00

As always raffle night was far to much fun.

Saturday Morning Breakfast and Club Meeting

2010-05-01T15:47:00.000-06:00

Raffle Ticket… Raffle Tickets… Raffle Tickets!

Everyone loves to win….. BUT when it comes to the Colorado Excel Club raffle things get pretty extreme.
This is the clubs biggest fund raiser, and as you watch people walking around with miles of tickets you can see that they must raise MILLIONS of dollars! (ok maybe not millions). This years favorite item is the metal dog that everyone really wants to win. We are worried that it might turn into a smack down!
We’ll keep you posted.
Also, tonight RV Sales will be drawing the winning name for the Yamaha generator. Good luck to all who entered.

At this morning meeting dates and locations for upcoming campouts were picked.... watch for more info. on that.

Colorado Excel Club Spring Campout Has Begun.

2010-04-30T20:45:00.002-06:00

Finger Food Friday is the way the Colorado club kicks off the rally.
Hope no one ate before them came….. We had a TON of food. Including Birthday cake for George, and homemade ice cream made by Tommy.

After we ate we had introductions. It’s so great to see everyone and start the rally on such a fun note.

Colorado City Campout

What a beautiful morning!

Woke up early to find a bumpy frost on the picnic table. Not sure if the bumps were trying to be snow, but whatever it is, wont last for long. The sun is shinning and the birds are singing. We are looking forward to a great day with friends.

New Mexico Excel Spring 2010 Rally

2010-04-26T19:11:00.002-06:00

It’s over and it was a great time!

There were activities for everyone to enjoy. A pet parade, wine tasting at local wineries, a wonderful catered dinner that included raffle prizes and awards, ice cream social, hot tub, and a fireplace on the veranda, perfect for story telling and fellowship. But as always, the best part was just spending time with friends reconnecting and making new memories. The weather got off to a cool, windy start, but ending with sun and heat. Thanks to Hacienda RV Resort for the wonderful facilities and making us feel at home.

The highlight of the weekend was the Pet Parade.

Lunch with Friends

Wonderful Club dinner!

Now we are looking forward to the fall campout in Creede! Hope to see you there.

The Oasis in Moriarty

2010-04-21T21:25:00.002-06:00

Our service/repair/overnight area... which we fondly refer to as "The Oasis" was full last week. We had a great group out there, some in for service, some in to help us with the open house, and some that were in for service that we put to work with the open house.
States that were represented were, NM, CO, VT and TX.
And our one pretty little tree was in bloom.

April 16 open house

2010-04-16T21:57:00.002-06:00

Today was the first day of our two day open house. The weather held out and it was a beautiful (chilly) day!
We had three seminars: En-Joy Rving, New Mexico State Parks, and Traveling to Alaska. Our classes are always informative and FUN!
We also served a yummy lunch of hot dogs, salad and a baked potato bar. Thanks to Mac for his help on the grill, and all the ladies that helped in the kitchen.
This was also the first day to register to win the Yamaha generator. Best of luck to all that entered.

Special order computer desk

2010-04-08T20:28:00.002-06:00

Tom and Donna came to RV Sales this week to have the special ordered computer desk installed in their rig. Tom and Donna are full timers and found that the dinette just wasn’t meeting their needs. The computer desk has a flip up table that will seat four when needed, but gives them more useful space when a table isn’t needed. Perhaps Tom or Donna will chime in and give us more feed back on how it’s working form them.?.?

Their rig us beautiful and this desk looks GREAT in it.
As always we love when Tom and Donna come to see us, and we can’t wait for them to come again! We wish them safe travels and hope their summer in the Northwest is wonderful.

Wes and Spankie (it's always the dogs fault)

2010-03-23T10:54:00.003-06:00

I got the below email and pictures today from Spankie..... Thanks for the funny story!

Here are the pictures. I am sure you heard the story, but we stopped to walk the dogs and Wes forgot to put the steps up (thank goodness it was Wes and not Spankie Lou). We went around a corner in Alb and caught the steps on a curb...we drove up to RV sales and Ralph said, "I've seen worse". But thank goodness Ralph could fix them and we were on our way!

The camping pictures are our Rio Rancho Good Sam group. We went to Carlsbad last weekend and froze during our "traditional" Sat morning pancake breakfast. Wes is pres of our Good Sam Group.

Bill sent us these wonderful pictures today!

2010-03-18T10:51:00.003-06:00

Here are some pictures of Bill out in his new Excel Winslow 28RLW. We thought everyone would enjoy seeing them! I also put in the part of his email that explains where he is.
Thanks Bill for shairing.

Attached are a few pictures I took today of the new Winslow. They were taken in Lone Pine, California with the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the background. Mt Whitney is one of the peaks – it is the highest mountain in the continental United States at 14, 496 Ft. Lone Pine is also famous for the Alabama Hills in which over 300 old western movies were shot here by the Hollywood studios. The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, etc. all did many movies done here. There is nice film museum in Lone Pine telling about all the films that have been done here.

My new Winslow has been great. I am really enjoying it.

Even with winter holding it’s grip on us, we have become rather busy at RV Sales. The service department is booking up, and we have sold a number of new and used trailers in the past few weeks.
Someday soon spring will be upon us and people will be pulling their trailers out for fun in the sun. That’s when we will really get busy. Please keep that in mind and call to schedule your service early!

Melissa and Kelly in their new Excel

2010-03-09T16:47:00.003-07:00

Melissa and Kelly from TX spent a few days with us a couple weeks ago. They had just bought a new truck and were so excited to pick up their "new" 26 foot Excel!
Ralph spent some time educating them about hitching up, leveling and towing. We wish them happy travels!

Winslow 31RLE

2010-02-23T17:22:00.002-07:00

Beautiful! It says it all.

This trailer is a must see. It comes with all the Excel “bells and whistles” and storage storage storage. Deep drawers in the kitchen, perfect for pots and pans, large shower, downright roomy bathroom, hickory wood cabinets and all the comforts of home!

We LOVE this trailer!

We had a few trailers go out last week

2010-02-21T15:01:00.004-07:00

The first was Bill from CA. He special ordered his new Winslow.
It came out beautiful, and he was very pleased with it. Bill told us that he had done his research before making this purchase, and everyone kept telling him to go to RV Sales in Moriarty.
He said, “I know I made the right choice in doing so.” We’ve enjoyed getting to know Bill during his week stay, and he fits right in with the RV Sales family.

Winter At The “Oasis”In Moriarty

2010-02-09T10:25:00.002-07:00

Brrrrrrrrr snow on the trailers and shovel in hand we have been digging out in Moriarty for a week (off and on) . One of the many great things about New Mexico is that we get to enjoy the snow, and then let the sun take over when we get tired of shoveling.
Don’t let the snow keep you from coming to see us. We have paths cleared to the RV’s… the roads are clear…. And we’ve got hot chocolate!
