    Good morning all, (a tad long-winded, but informative)

    As mentioned in a previous post a while ago, Grand Design and the dealers have been very supportive of the rallies with supplying maintenance techs. However, they are only able to do so much and let’s face it, what they can do is ok for rallies that have only 50 or so RV’s attending. But many rallies are two to four times larger than the techs can handle. As the rallies not only continue to grow in size, they are also growing in quantity and it is way beyond the point that the techs can keep up with the demand for every little issue to be handled at the rallies. Many times the techs are working from 6am to 9pm all weekend.

    So, with the above said, for the rallies Jenn and I host, the Las Vegas rally will be the last for pre-rally maintenance submissions and starting with our Southern Oregon rally, the techs at the rallies will focus on emergencies, safety, and recalls issues first. And IF, after all those issues are handled and time permits, an announcement at the rally will be made for more issues to be submitted. If you have signed up for one of our rallies besides the Vegas rally and put an issue on your registration, as our other rallies are either 6 months, 10 months, or a year away, yes, you have time to contact your dealer and get just about any and every current issue you have handled prior to the rally you are signup for.

    We know that some are going to be burdened by this and not like this way of handling issues at the rallies, or just plain will throw a fit. Please understand that your purchasing or local dealer is your first avenue for getting your issues handled and the techs at the rallies are on hand to support us, not to bypass a dealer. Also, there are some items that will not be handled at the rally at all and may vary depending on the rally. Such as installs (contact the sponsoring dealer directly), things that may cause a mess or be restricted by the resorts (such as wheel bearing repacking, opening the underbelly, and if you have already been to a dealer for an issue, that item may not be dealt with as it needs to be completed by the dealer that started the process.

    Many complain about the dealer taking too long and having your RV for weeks. Please remember that the dealer, and we all know that some are just plain better than others, have to figure out what the issue is, get the issue authorized for repair, get parts, and schedule a time to actually do the work. Some dealers do not tell you this, but they do not want your RV on their lot unless it is being worked on because it takes up valuable room. I have never had my RV at the dealer for more than 4 days from drop off to pick up. If your dealer does not do this, YOU should take the initiative to bring it up. When you call for getting an issue looked at, tell them you want to drop it off for only a few days so they can find what is wrong and what is needed to fix the issue and when they have all the parts, they can call you to schedule a time to bring it back in to actually be worked on.

    Jeret is just finishing up with a large rally in Vegas but I would follow the instructions and try to register and see what happens.

    EDIT: I just went to the online registration (see the very first post) and there seems to be plenty of spots available.

    Thank ya, our schedule is always hectic after a rally trying to catch up with life afterward and get back on track.

    Good evening all,

    Just wanted to put this out there as I have gotten many requests for pull-thru sites at the resort and I do not want the grumpy "WTH, I requested a pull-thru site" when the site listing is released a few weeks prior to the rally.

    The resort only has a very limited number of pull-thru sites. And as the resort has sites of varying lengths, RV's will be placed according to lengths and we will work to accommodate all the requests as possible. But please remember, requests are just that, requests. But shorter RV's, no matter what your request, sorry, you will not get a pull-thru, these will be given to the longer RVs that just plain will not fit in a short site.
