View/Navion rally Cape Charles VA

2-5 June 2019



We arrived at the Cape Charles, VA KOA campground for the View/Navion rally. There were 75 rigs in attendance.  The focus of the rally was to meet and share experiences with one another about our travels and experiences with these motorhomes.   We enjoyed each other’s company individually and at gatherings like the potluck meals.  There was a tech talk once a day at the picnic area where everyone could ask questions and share their experiences. Three or four volunteers were doing repairs and mods for those who wanted them.







The KOAcampground has several hundred sites, many with full hookups.  There is a very large new pool and beach on the bay.  For Floridians, it was very cold water.













A number of tours were offered, and we went on the Chesapeake Bay bridge and tunnel tour to get an inside look at the operations.  It was a very impressive tour. Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed inside the buildings.  









Many of the rally group took a walking tour of the small town of Cape Charles.  Two of the highlights were the wine tasting and art gallery. The artist who owns the gallery creates vivid pictures of the surrounding areas and are etched into steel sheets.  Really beautiful and expensive. He came to the campground and took our group picture.






The last outing was to the Cape Charles Brewing Company, where members of our group put on an Oyster feast.  Anneke had her first raw oysters and loved them.  It was a great evening of food, beer and camaraderie.

We stayed at that campground a million years ago in a tent. We walked around the streets looking at all the RVs and wondering if we'd ever be able to afford one. Fast forward to today and we've had 4 RVs and the possibility of number five is getting closer (and smaller).

Have a well used tent for sale if anyone is interested. ;c)

Oh I love raw oysters.

The bay bridge/tunnel is quite a feat. Have traveled it often through the years, having grown up in the northeast (NJ).

Looks like you had a great time, it is always nice to hang out with and talk to people that have the same rigs so you can compare notes.
