NAFR25 - Question for attendees!

[Laura&Jerry]

Good St Patrick's Day to you all.

Question for all: If you were attending the rally for the first time or a repeat attendee and wanted a NEW class or seminar brought in, what would you like to see? Is there an activity that you would like at the campground?

Thank you,

This will be our first time, it would help to know what seminars were offered the last few years. That would give us a better idea of what of what to request.

A few major upgrades we are planning that might be include:
- upgrading to disc brakes and independent suspension.
- Retrofitting MW Hood fan to vent directly outside.
- PC-based tablet to monitor propane and water tanks, battery and solar data, TPMS, display 360-degree cams, and route mapping. Tablet to be moved to/from the truck and trailer. Also, would need wifi/router with mobile internet via cell or satellite.
- Auto-levelling systems (our Lippert Ground Control 3.0 never performs correctly).
- More Storage: underframe mounts.
- Frame Flex: understanding and identifying.

I know you missed last year but the corn home tournament was fun.

MCD shades. We installed them on some of our larger windows and would enjoy a seminar on how to adjust them.

Best/safe cleaning products to use on our RV’s for cabinet fronts, walls, floors, showers, etc.

Fifty years ago I would have said "naked twister", Forty years ago I would have said "midnight skinny dipping", thirty years ago I would have said "all you can eat buffet", twenty years ago it would have been "how to save for retirement", ten years ago " where to get the cheapest meds", this year it's "what was the question?"

What does MCD stand for?

 

[Mikendebbie]

From the website https://mcdinnovations.com/about/

I will venture to guess that the "M" stands for Mckinney (Texas)...so -
Mckinney Carla Dave Innovations...just a guess, however.

Everything you need to know about MCD Innovations, a Division of Airxcel Inc. (2016). The company was founded in 2003 by full-time RVers Dave and Carla Townsley beginning business as a manufacturer of upscale windshield shades for RV OEMs and the aftermarket. MCD Innovations has proudly served the RV Industry since 2003 from McKinney, Texas. We have enjoyed a great reputation for customer service, high-quality product, innovative technology, and product development. All products are made in the USA, built to exacting tolerances, and utilize superior quality components.

Oh how I missed the wit and wisdom last year. When do I get to sign up for Parking Team Obi One?

 

[Kfinnert]

Oh how I agree with Jfryer and Woody... I am ready to start parking RIGS!!!

 

[Bndn88]

Not an activity, but I was wondering, ... I know there will be the rig cleaners available, but is there a way to also get a mobile tech out for those few (maybe 2-3) quick fixes for the ones who cannot do it themselves(for a fee of course)?

Dave,
Keystone stopped that practice two years ago because of manpower mainly. They were pulling their techs out of several of their service centers to come to the Rally to do one or two repairs or look at problems folks were having with their units and it put them behind on units that were in the service centers to be worked on. It was an economic problem for them also. If you have a problem or two contact Keystone Service and you might be able to get an appointment to have the unit serviced while at the Rally or they may tell you to contact Affinity for such repairs or they may tell you to take it to your dealer for such repairs especially if it is under warranty yet.

Last year was our first rally. I really enjoyed seeing the interior of some of the rigs where people invited us in. It's cool to see modifications or decorating/organizing ideas. People usually say "come on over" but you never know what might be a good time. Maybe we can have a designated day/time for RV tours. Anyone who is willing to let people tour their RV can sign up and maybe have a designated marking on their site sign to identify them.

They would have to sign up in advance though so they can be parked at least near each other so people don't get lost.

For those asking about the MCD shades-- Montana uses the Irvine Shades in their units if I'm not mistaken. If one wants MCD shades you have to order them from MCD or go down to McKinney, Texas where they measure all your windows and make the shades specifically for your unit. They also have multiple dealers across the US if you Google MCD Shades or MCD Innovations. Perhaps,the Wagon Master Team can coax MCD Shades to come up to Goshen as one of the vendors and even put on a session at the Rally!
