FMCA

Just arrived at Indy for a few days. Picked up our "new to us" 2000 U320! Great ride from Michigan to Indy.  Thanks to all who gave the suggestion of potato creek state park - certainly a nice spot. Checking in here in the morning - should be a few "interesting" days.....

Have a great time.  I saw lots of rigs heading to the Rally today.

I am here as well.  Flew up yesterday (didn't have time to drive, as we leave on our annual family cruise this weekend out of Galveston).

Will be presenting 4 seminars and then flying home.  Hope to see some of you there:

Towing Roundtable (moderator)
Suspensions-- coach ride and handling
Caterpillar Maintenance
Ask The Expert (along with Gary Bunzer)

We'll be there. Driving down tomorrow (Mon) via car and staying at the Fairfield inn.
Currently our Foretravel is turned into a "motel" with my daughter & son in law staying with us till tomorrow afternoon.

I have not seen so many SOB's mainly I-90, I-74, I-75, I-77, I-64 & I-81.  You would think fuel was cheap.  Have to guess they are headed to Indy / FMCA.
I attended one of them once, that took care of that curiosity.  Will leave that gang alone and enjoy my Foretravel.

Dave I agree. I think I saw a lot of show coaches first. They had stuff in the windshield and they were in line. I saw about 16 Thor products.  As to SOB, there were too many to count especially on I 70 near Indy and on I 74.... I saw more coaches on I 81 too but that could have been Bristol letting out as well.

We have owned two DPs. The first one seemed more like duck poop after we bought a U295 as the second one.
