LadyEcooper,

I can't remember, are the classes given by Terry included with the rally or is there an extra fee?

Thanks,

Ken

Ken,

There is a separate charge for spending those 3 days with him. Check out the website for that info. Also, you will need 3 extra nights of camping.
Just so you know... there is no charge for the Rally other than the camping fees and cost of the 3 day RV Maintenance class. However, there is a $25 charge ONLY for those who are non-Crossroads/Redwood owners.

The schedule is confusing.

Is the 3 day seminar in front of or in back of the rally? It almost looks like the education seminar starts Friday at 9:30 and only lasts two days, but I think that is a separate education seminar from the one you are talking about.

I am so sorry for your confusion....

Actually, each regional rally is set to have the 3-Day RV Maintenance Class before the main rally. (see website for the detailed schedule)

*The only exception to the rule is when we have the National Rally in Shipshewana, IN, there will be a 3-Day RV maintenance before and immediately following the main Rally. You can see all of the National Rally info in the schedule on the ROG forum site.

At every Rally, Terry will be doing several short seminars during the main rally that last 1 to 1.5 hrs (approx) in length but he would never charge for that...it is part of the normal rally agenda.

I will say that we appreciate Crossroads so much for taking the time to put together a wonderful detailed website with all the Rally information on it. www.crvrallies.com Please go and check it out. It is also the place where folks need to register for any of the Regional Rallies.

Hope that helps clear up any confusion.

Hi Lady E Cooper -

I'm a bit confused on the sign-up for this.

In an earlier post I though it said that if we sign up after Feb 8 or 9, we would need to make a reservation directly with Mill Creek for a spot.

Then in a later post it said to sign up directly on the CRVRallies.com site. So if we sign up on this web site for our parking spot are we good to go or do we still have to contact Mill Creek?

We are planning to also sign up for the 3-day maintenance course preceding the rally.


Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike....

So sorry for the confusion. Actually, we did have to return the unused sites to them on the 8th. However, I am still encouraging people to sign up...and I should have said 'via the CRVRallies.com site'.

Please go CRVRallies.com site. We are at 11 and all are Redwoods!

Thank you for the reply Miss Lady E Cooper -

If I am reading this right, we make the reservation on the CRVRallies.com site and you will then add us to the list over at Mill Creek. So even though you had to return the unused sites, you will still coordinate with them to assure we will be included in the group.

Once we get on board, there will be 12 Redwoods.

By the way - my bride is a foodie and she is really looking forward to your RV cooking session.

Thanks again!!
