Introducing the Alto


We stayed the night in a "no pet" hotel outside Quebec City, a few miles from our next morning trailer rendezvous. Stopping Tucker from thumping the wall with his Labrador tail in the hotel was unsuccessful-especially when it was time for breakfast and dinner, but our rule violator went undiscovered. 

All signage in Quebec is in French and between Steve and me there is a vocabulary of about ten words. We had printed driving directions to the dealership but road construction thwarted our preplanning. Fortunately, we left the motel early and arrived just before our full day of orientation was to begin.


On the floor of the showroom there were three Alto models and the most striking feature was that they  looked larger than I had envisioned. The sole English speaking agent, Denis, walked us to the back and waiting was our Alto adorned with a big red bow.


Safari Condo is known for their excellent service and the accolades are deserved. By 6:00 pm every feature of the Alto had been explained, additional accessories purchased and adjustments made so we were ready to tow it to a campground a few miles away. Steve and I were too tired to locate a service station where we could fill our propane tank that fuels our heater so we added a sleeping bag for nighttime warmth.

  1. Looks like a great rig. The more you use it, the more like an old friend it will seem. I hear that you are somewhat down south now. How does the rig tow? Looks pretty aerodynamic. Keep us i the loop. Exciting travels...
