2014 Grandvention, Shawnee OK in mid October

June 09, 2014, 09:12:31 am

Is it too early to begin a thread on those planning to attend this year?

We went to our first one in TN last year due in part with the location and our Motorcade discount coupon. The event was very informative and a lot of fun. It's very different to see an RV park with so many vintage and newer Foretravels! We get a kick walking through the park and admiring the different styles/models along with meeting some very interesting people.

We plan on attending again this year as we'll be in Nacagdoches for a headlight conversion by Xtreme the week prior. Perhaps those involved with Foreforums could once again show their colors with the windshield placard?

Hope to see many of you there...

We hope to be there. You are right about it being great fun to meet the people who go with the name.

We too had a good time last year at the GV and met many great folks. And it's never too early to do a little planning!

Except we just got back from a 2 month trip thru New Mexico and the surrounding area so I'll have to wait a bit before diving into plans for fall. The DW likes to travel but she also like to be home.

Timing is everything.

Well, interesting that we plan to be in Rogers AR at that time for the birth of another grandchild. Depending on when that happens, (early Oct.

?), we could take a few days and attend that event. We have never done that and it would be a very informative and social time. How do we get the necessary details on this event?? Thanks and have a great day ---- Fritz

Contact Beverly in the Motorcade office at Foretravel. She can give you all the information but you can register a bit late for it if you need too. It is not like they fill up but if you let her know she can get a packet made up for you maybe and all you will have to do is call and pay..

Terry and I have signed up for the Shawnee Grandvention. This will be out first. We have owned our Foretravel for less than a year. We are looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hi folks,

We just got our first Foretravel (and first RV) in May and have been thinking strongly about attending the Grandvention in OK. This will probably be our first "real" trip and we are really looking forward to it. I've contacted Beverly at FOT regarding registration, but I'm looking for information about any programs or seminars they might offer. We are definitely in the learning mode and are anxious to attend anything they might present. Was going to call Beverly, but I think from the Facebook postings she is on the Alaska trip. Have done some cursory reviews, but haven't found any articles in the magazine.

Can anyone chime in about past Grandventions? Do they offer any seminars on the many Foretravel systems, driving suggestions, general tips on maintenance and setup, etc.? I'm really interested in things like having the coach accurately weighed so I can fine tune tire pressures.

Above all, we are really interested in meeting some of you fine folks.

Would appreciate any comments.

Many thanks and a belated Happy 4th to all!

Don & Nancy

A number of seminars and you get to meet the owners of 100 or more Foretravels of many different vintages. It is a great time.

We plan to attend. This will be our first GrandVention as we just joined the motorcade. Looking forward to seeing many beautiful Foretravels, meeting some fellow foreforum members, attending informative seminars, eating some great food as well as some enjoyable side trips.

DW and I are attending after a week at Xtreme for a face lift. Our first was last year and we had a ball. Seems to make the spirit soar seeing a campground full of FTs.

We are still wannabee Foretravelers, maybe by then we would have a Foretravel. I think I know the answer to this, but if not, are wannabees allowed?

We are planning on going. Having some final mods made at MOT to our new-to-us Nimbus. Expect to be going back down in a couple of weeks to pick up the coach and will register at that point. Looking forward to meeting fellow Foretravelers and taking as many seminars as the two of us can work in.

When does FOT put out information preceding a Grandvention. We are signed up for the Oklahoma Grandvention and the only thing we know are the dates and where it is going to be held. Thanks, Larry
