The Rally 2008 Perry Georgia

We left Tifton and went to Perry Georgia for the rally at the Georgia National Fairgrounds which we had all been to before for an FMCA rally. We signed up for two days early arrival and were surprised to find out that many of the seminars would be presented during those two days and then repeated over on another day or days. We only attend these things for two reasons first and foremost is to attend the seminars and learn what we can about the RV lifestyle, and secondly to visit with new and old friends. Somewhere down the list is going into the new RVs and checking out new styling or ideas.

The Rally disappointed us on the seminar front with only a few of them being worthy of our time or effort since many were nothing more than infomercials.

We did meet a funny couple from Alabama. Ron, the guy, is retired Army and his wife , Honey, is from Germany. We had many laughs with these two and hope to run into them down the road.

I still get a kick out of RV salesmen. Many of them don't know a grey tank from a black tank but will shoot a line of bull a mile long. The sad part is that many RV buyers don't spend enough time researching RVs so they can recognize the BS. My running heehaw at this rally was that we wanted drawers with dovetail construction and I told a number of RV sales people that my Bounder had dovetailed drawers which of course is only in my dreams. Most RVs have stapled drawer construction where the joints are just butted together. Now you know how easily I am to amuse or was it how hard up I was?

Will not return anytime soon to another THE RALLY because it was definitely just two stars out of five. The only reason it is two stars is because we have been to one star escapades. Oh well.
