Rally

We attended our first rally in Yuma, AZ.  In the RV world we have rallies where folks of a common interest get together to trade information, stories and socialize.  We had heard of this rally while we were in Mesa and since we were coming to Yuma anyway we decided to attend.  This rally was offered by Fleetwood Motor home Association(FMA).  Fleetwood is the manufacturer of our RV and we are members of FMA.

Fleetwood had service techs on sight and all service was done for free.  You just pay for parts unless they were under warranty.  This is a great service since most places that service RVs charge a least $120 and hour.  A local RV dealer also brought the full line of Fleetwood RVs to the rally so everyone could go thorough them and see what's new.  We walk through all of them and like ours best.

This was a small to medium rally and there were about 85 Fleetwood motor homes parked in the RV resort.  We attended lots of seminars and learned a ton.  Each night we'd walk back to the RV, dump all our paper from the seminars and crash.  During the social times we met some great people and gained even more information.  We had such a great time we will be attending next year's rally.

We had already planned to attend a Full Timers rally in Oregon in August.  This one will be very small...probably less than 20 RVs.  But we also added a large rally later in August.  It is also in Oregon but should have well over a thousand RVs.  Once we have attended these we will see if and how rallies fit into our plans.
