As far as I know now we are still going. We need to visit friends who work at Jayco and stock up on Amish grocery goods again anyway. Dane

Ron the agenda sounds GREAT. We will be coming from Calif. and have heard a lot of good things about the swap meets in Shipshewana, In. on Tues. & Wednesday's. Will try to hit this spot prior to the RALLY.

I have 25 copies of the booklet titled Michelin RV Tires for distribution to all attendees. It is packed with good information applicable to all brands of tires. This booklet can be distributed during one of the seminars.

I have a ONAN Command Center panel in our Seneca. I still do not how how to access all of its features. Here's hoping someone at the RALLY has the programing knowledge to educate me on it's operation.

Is the current list of attendees up to date? Looking forward to July 15th.............russ/claudia hill

I also got a lot of literature from various vendors. Just got a box of give-a-ways from Woodall's today. When I attended the FMCA Great Lakes rally over Memorial Day weekend. I hit up every vendor that was available to give me Literature. Not much in goodies but lots of info.

Ron has their been any update on the number of "KODIAK RALLY" attendees, or are we still at 8 rigs. I am in the final process of preparing our rig for the trip. We plan on being gone for 2 months, leaving July 1st and returning to Calif. around Labor Day. The RALLY will be one of the highlights of the vacation. Have a wedding in Port Huron the last week of July and also plan to do Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.

Is Power Gear in the area of the RALLY? Is the agenda the same as published 6-9-10?

Looking forward....................russ hill

The total is stuck at 8. When I stop at Elkhart Campground in April they did not have a list of attendees. Just a bunch of reservation. We will be together in same area. Each attendee needs to mention that they are with the group to make sure they get a site with the group.
I have not done anything with Power Gear. I have been so busy with family things I am getting behind. Maybe someone can look up the info and make inquires as to a tour or info from them.
If you do not have a place to stay for your trip to Henry Ford. You can stay at our place during this part of the trip. 50 amps, water and a pump out.

I did a quick search for Power Gear. While they have manuals and FAQ sections on their site. They send you to Jayco for more info on their systems. Not sure how to contact them.

Ron, I just looked at their site and it has sure been changed. When I got my Kodiak I had to call them because the levellers had to be recalibrated. They directed me to the web site to download. I had no problem calling them. Now, nothing at all on the site as to address, phone number, email or anything. Just a fax number. That tells me they must have had a lot of calls with problems that they don't want to field now.

Don

ps. Decided to google "Power Gear Telephone number" and found a PG form with this:

1217 E. 7th Street Mishawaka, IN 46544 Phone: 1-800-334-4712
1-888-339-2539 Fax:574-256-6743

Don...I believe you are 100% correct regarding Power Gear. I had a recent problem with my slide and the only way the dealer could contact them was thru their fax. They could not even call them. Their response time was 2 to 4 days upon receipt of fax, plus another 5 days shipping to the west coast. They do not seem to be very customer focused................................russ

I have been going over my list of Attendees.
Since putting the list together I have gotten 3 cancellations and 1 new sign up. Forgot to take Kevin McCoy off the list from earlier in the spring. Looks like 5 total
5 will be a good start on a rally. Lot of time to get to know each other.
