Damn Rally

[Prevo]

Back home from a wonderful weekend  with great  friendly people,  everyone there was so friendly & helpful  we enjoyed everyone & met some great people there. The evening campfire & conversations were very enjoyable.  I been lurking on this forum for yrs reading it everyday never able to contribute anything because the knowledge here is unbelievable, I wish I would have known about the forum  when I had my 1st bus  of course then I didn't even know how to turn on a computer.   THANKS TO VAN & TOM & EVERYONE ELSE  FOR SUCH A GREAT WEEKEND.  My wife said  we will definitely be     at the next one.  So thanks again to everyone that attended that great get together.

Ok lol there wasn't but 2 Prevost owners there, both with special coaches Kenny with his Cummins powered Prevost or Tyke with his Kingsley converted Prevost so who is Prevo   .
We enjoyed the rally I got to meet a few new owners and that is always a special part of attending a rally to me

Hi Tyke, so nice meeting you and Bobbie too, it is fun sitting around the campfire, if I had thought to bring the marshmallows and coat hangers we could of flung flaming balls of fire in the air! I hear Melbo and Billie are great marshmallow flingers, and I know Matt can fling with the best of them, tom, lvmci...

Great group and probably the best camping pot luck I've ever enjoyed.  We stayed until Monday and made it as far as I-40 before the winds came up.  Honeysuckle Rose with her round body took the 40 to 70 mph winds in stride (well mostly).  We watched two sticks and staples loose their awnings like a bomb had gone off.  One of them passed us at about 65 mph and I could see the wind flexing the entire camper.  About 500 yards later BOOM.  I rolled by thinking "sucker".  Then a couple of miles down the road I heard what sounded like a tire blow out and quickly headed for the shoulder.  When I opened the door I lost both my knit watch cap and a favorite door mat before their disappearance could be recognized by my little pea brain!  Luckily, the wind created parachute had not ripped the entire awning off and with the help of my very scared wife we were able to deploy the awning and rewind it without without ending up in Kansas.  I tied the awning fabric with bungie cords and electrical wire and we set off at a very respectful 45 mph --- for the next hundred miles.  Needless to say, we didn't beat the night time LA basin traffic, an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Wiffy asked me upon our safe arrival home "would you do that again?"  I answered, "when do we leave?"  I'm still sleeping on the couch--go figger.  Jack

Hi Jack, great that's  there's no permanent damage, i saw the winds covered a great portion of the west, no getting away from it, same wind's caused power blinking on and off at the big show  I  was shooting, wrecking havoc with the cameras, tom, lvmci...

Hi All, thanks for such great interest in That Dam Rally, but if just a fraction of you show up next year, we'll  have to take over the whole RV park! Please look forward to January's  BCM magazine for an article on That Dam Rally, tom...
