Motorhome rally?

[Jim]

Last Thursday I was driving on I-75 through Macon Ga., and a few miles outside of Macon, I saw what looked to be hundreds of motorhomes in a large open area. At first I thought it was an RV dealer, but then I realized these were privately owned motorhomes and that there must have been some sort of RV convention going on.

Does anyone know what this was?

Maybe it's the big FMCA Rally in Perry?

Yep, I'll bet that' what it was. Was remarkable to see that may coaches all in one place. Makes you realize just how popular this activity is!

Nope, haven't heard squat from anyone at NIRVC since I dropped it off. A few days ago I emailed everyone in my previous email chain(s) to see if someone could give me an update.

Still nothing.

Sent out another email about 30 minutes ago so we'll see if anyone answers this one.

I went to it the year that FMCA said that their members OWED it to the RV vendors to replace their 3yo motorhomes with new ones. I canceled our FMCA membership that same month and ignored all their renewal/re-sign entreaties. Never been back to it. I didn't get much out of it but then I'm not really into shopping. I would rather go to the Big Pig Jig. That's an event I can get into.

No sir, only went once back circa 2018 I think it was. Will go again someday, maybe with a gang here.

I sure hope they treat you better than they did us. Instead of fixing the problem they created, the owner said he will sell my coach at a discount consignment rate. What a guy!

I got an email yesterday saying that a tech will be looking at it today. I'm frustrated, but I'm not going to get angry until I see the outcome of this whole affair. lt's way to long to cover in a post.

Well, yes, coincidently it is. He seems like a nice enough fellow.

My coach was at Atlanta to have the full wall slide reinforced and 15 broken tiles replaced. Service department did a horrible job replacement tiles were not the correct size grout line 1/2 inch wide in places and some are not the correct color. At this point there are no tiles to be found per Newmar, NIRVC the distributor and the tile manufacturer. A year later drove the coach 2,000 miles and tiles started cracking again. Took the coach to NIRVC Tennessee were they repaired the full wall slide again and fixed some of the tiles that were sticking up (in their words that stub your toes). When this all started we were told if no replacement tiles were found Newmar would retile the coach like they have done for others with this problem. Not the case I was informed by Angie Morell that Brett
Davis would sell my coach at a consignment discount but no mention of making repairs.
This is the condensed version on what has taken place. I have photos to backup what I have written in this post. Players involved: Tony Morris, Dan Phillip, Mike Griggs, Bill Reith, Bobby Dowdle, Frank Hattrem, Eddie Braley, Mark Moniuszko, Angie Morell and others. Hope this answers your questions.

What have you done to resolve the problem? Have you talked to the owner? Do you have his phone number? email?

He is a nice gentleman but does not return calls or communicate.If you call today you will get Nick, he follows up.
