We traveled in style and stayed with Carol Miller in her lovely Monaco motorcoach. Our friends Les, Kathy, Marlene, and Linda also came along in their rigs. This is a motorcoach only convention.
There were over 2800 motorcoaches with approximately 6000 people attending. People were camping all around the campus and at a nearby fairgrounds. Over 900 volunteers helped out. In the picture above you can see all of them. There was a wide variety of coaches and many of them were amazing and very expensive to own.
A wide variety of educational classes are provided. John and I split up and tried to take in as much as possible. Some of the classes included:
- Basic Training for RVERS
- Fire and Life Safety (our favorite)
- Traveling to Alaska by RV
- Managing digital pictures with Picassa
And so much more. There was entertainment nightly, but we never did attend. At the end of the day, we were so very tired. We enjoyed talking with our friends and sharing all that we had learned and experienced.
There was a huge vendor section. It was like a candy store (so irresistible) with everything imaginable to purchase for an RV. You sure could drop a lot of change in there if you wanted. Our friends bought a unique golf cart.
On display outside were all the new motorcoaches. Most of them were well out of our price range, but it was fun to see them. John feel in love with a Tiffin Motorcoach and there was a very good deal on a Holiday Rambler. Hopefully soon we'll be able to purchase one for our journey.
We would definitely attend again. Our only complaint was the long commutes from the fair grounds to the seminars by school bus. The facilities were very nice and the event was so organized.
