Tiffin RV Rally - Sarasota, Fl

My how time flies!!! We've never been to any kind of an RV rally, but we've wanted to, just to see what it's like. When we bought our Phaeton last August from Lazydays RV one of the benefits we received was a one year membership to the Allegro Club, which is the official club for owners of Tiffin Motorhomes. In the first magazine we received from the club we saw there was going to be a Tiffin Rally in Sarasota March 1st - March 4th. Sarasota is only about 95 miles from where we live so we decided to register for the rally to check it out. Well, before we knew it here it is. It starts next week!
For several weeks in a row now, we've had things to do on the weekend instead of working on getting rid of our "stuff". We had already paid for the rally so what do you do? We went to the rally for the weekend. I attended a couple of seminars, one on the Freightliner chassis and one on Onan generators that were interesting but overall I was a little disappointed. Most of them were nothing more than vendors giving a sales pitch for their products.
There was only a handful of vendors there, but there was one that had magnetic RV windshield shades that I have been interested in checking out. These go on the outside of the windshield and are installed using magnets. No snaps,ladders or climbing needed. It also gives you some privacy. You can see out but it's difficult to see in during the day. t's called Magne Shade and I liked the concept so well I ordered a shade for the windshield and driver's side window. It takes about 4 -5 weeks to get them after you place the order because they're custom made for each model motorhome.
Your registration fee included parking and a 30Amp service. I wish the rally had been more fun, but we did enjoy getting out and spending some time in the motorhome again.
Now it's time to get to work. We're going to have to stay home for a few weeks and get some things done. No more weekend getaways for a while.
Until next time...
