I'm one of those campers. Came in leaning towards a Scamp and ended up buying at 17' Casita Spirit Deluxe. Can't attend the rally because I had shoulder surgery recently and I can't handle the rig yet. Wish I could come for all the fun!

I'm half way there - currently at the Broken Wheel campground in Petersburg, NY for tonight.

Wow! talk about an early arrival. Yea #48 is a great site but the campground has a lot of great sites.
I'll be right across the road from you and I'll make sure, when I get there that you get the "Welcome Gifts and the Schedule of Events".
We will be getting there late morning on Thursday.

I am sure people can still register for a site so "DO IT TODAY!'"
You may be a bit away from the main group but campground is set up where you just a few minutes walk away form the common area where all events take place.
CALL TODAY @ (603)323-8536 and talk to the friendly office staff to get your site reserved!
Your Host for the Spring Fling.

Registered. Hope the weather is nice to us.

[mary and bob]

OOOH, another Uhaul !! Guess we should have planned on bringing ours, but we've already packed the Casita.

[Gerry]

Great Anne, Always fun to see the more rare campers in the area, Wonder if there will be any other Bolers?
Last year, my 79 1300 was the only Boler.
LET'S TRY TO HIT THE 40 SITES SOLD SO WE CAN ALL GET A BIGGER DISCOUNT.
REGISTER NOW! (603)323-8536

[Mawiejic]

There is always time to repack! LOL

[Gerry]

It is finally here. The first day of the Spring Fling at Chocorua Camping Village KOA.
After months and months of prep work I know this years Rally will be a great time for all who are attending.
There still may be time to squeak in for the weekend activities and there are sites left.
Call the office and talk to the friendly staff and reserve a site NOW!
CALL (603)323-8536
And remember to stop by site #49 to get your welcome pack and the schedule of events if I didn't catch you at the office.
You Host

For those interested, I've started a page of photos of the 2nd Annual Spring Fling. I'll add to the page as the rally progresses.

Thanks Jon! Can't wait to get there tomorrow!

[Mawiejic]

We had so much fun! Sad we left early, but weather was the factor.
Gerry and his wife Barb did an amazing job organizaing everything.
The campers we're beautiful and the folks were so friendly. We do hope to be able to go next year.
Thank you everyone, we truly enjoyed our selves and made new friends!

[Sean in VT]

Thank you to Gerry and all.



Great time!
My 1st rally. If you've never been, definitely go to this one next year.
I learned a lot.



Met many wonderful people. I got great tours of several trailers as young as 2018's and as old as 1975? Original and modified Scamps, Casitas, Escapes, a Boler, a Uhaul, an Oliver, a Camp-Inn (can I mention that?) and to my own bias: 3 Trilliums.




I've read a lot and done some, but it's different to be there and talk to folks with the actual trailer they have purchased, and/or restored, and/or modified, and/or glamped (is that a word?). Lots of minimalist restraint and lots of over the top engineering and artistic Wow! that I'd never be able to pull off. I got lots of use-able insights too. My head is swimming with great new ideas.



Did I mention I met a lot of cool people? I'm hooked. I'm looking forward to next year!

Thank you Jon for taking those photos and all the information about Solar Power at the open forum talk was still a bit to deep for me but after talking to you and others I'm convinced that my 100W panel will work just fine and all I need to do is upgrade my batteries.
Thanks again.

With out you all this Rally wouldn't be what it was.
So here is a big thank you to you all.

Thanks to all of you and the rally success, the owner approached me with an offer for another time slot for a Rally in the Fall.
I told him I would put out some "feelers" to see if there is any interest.
It would be in October the weekend after Columbus day.
Think we could call it "FALL FOLIAGE RALLY IN NEW ENGLAND"

Looking for some feed=back on this idea.
