RIV - erniecarpet@... - 05-05-2005 00:03 John, we could set up a "fund" to help you get there. We plan on being in Fla before the rally, and if we do this- we could have our meals at their new clubhouse. The only time you need a ticket to get into the RIV is for their dinners.

Blair in southern Oregon [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] RIV - John - 05-05-2005 01:51 I just talked to Fred Vandenberg at BB and he confirmed that the price for RITV 2005 is $485.00. I'm glad that I got to go to my FIRST & LAST RITV last year, it isn't worth that much money for me to attend again. Instead I will attend every Maxton Mini Rally for the remaining races of the year and the Myrtle Beach Rally next year too. I wonder if you can attend the pre rally in the field at Perry, before RIV, without attending the RIV?

I noticed that they did not add the 4th day back so is there something planned that would cost this much difference? I had the same thoughts on the pre- rally area. Say hi to "Buddy".

Some celebration of the Wanderlodge, but I suspect selling new coaches was the major interest for those promoting the affair. It's obvious that those well heeled individuals, for whom $500 is no matter, would be more likely to seriously consider a newer coach. Obviously the new and improved "Coach Works" is interested in looking forward and not back ward. That is the American way, I think.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] RIV - David Thompson - 05-05-2005 02:25 Maybe we should consider the campground on the west side of I 75. We've been going to the RIV for the past 5 years, what we really enjoy is getting together with old friends and making new friends. Wonder if there would be a daily fee to get in if you didn't stay there. As it is at that fee, we would seriously consider not going.

It appears that the new "brass" either isn't aware of or chooses to ignore what has worked in the past. Wanderlodge ownership and loyalty has been kind of a food chain. In order for the current owners to step up to a new one there has to be demand for their older unit and so on down the line. It wouldn't be very wise to persue only the top of the chain (the money) while ticking off or ignoring the lower rungs. I certainly hope they have another reason for the fee hike. For us FC (and older PT) owners $480.00 will buy parts or upgrades that we might be wanting or needing. Lets see, 3 days of entertainment or put the money toward a moving map.

Everyone know's what the rally is all about " SALES" but without the support of the customer's buying the used coach's the people wanting to move into the new one's would have a hard time unloading their's. I too think BB is missing the point. Customer royalty used to be the real substance at BB but it's rapidly disolving. I can remember a time when if you even looked at a different brand of coach you would feel like you were cheatin on BB.Iam not sure but I think my first BB rally cost $75.00 and they used to give away all sorts of door prizes during the entire affair. Time's have changed.....Won't be attending this year...Bob 93pt40 Illinois RIV - Jack & Donna Smith - 05-05-2005 03:31 John: Yeah, those moving map Navagation systems are good, But even better, the $485 will purchase a new tire, so I could be secure using the Nav system.. (Or make a dent in gettin a couple of Alcoas)!
