2015 FROG International Rally in Goshen, IN held August 9-15

[rracer5]

Will there be any mobile RV washing services available at the Rally? (DW keeps catching me attempting to get on the roof in this heat).

Not that I saw last year. (Back of my brain's tickling me that it might not have even been allowed.). But there was a vendor there selling a waterless washing solution that looked like a cloth mop. That might work for you.

Or you can maybe look into truck/tv wash bays along the way. Given the high number of RV's in the area there must be some around.

You will be too busy to wash your roof, I think.
The repair teams will be too busy as well even if it was offered (which it is not - "stuff that would have been fixed under warranty has priority" - Routine maintenance is not being offered that I am aware of).

Most sites are grass and we will be praying for no rain as it is.

I didn't mean as a free service, I meant it as an outside vendor allowed in to do the pay service. The mobile service I use when it's impossible for me to get to it supplies his own water also which I fully understand due to various restrictions or pressure issues.

It would make a mess for the service guys to have to work in on adjoining sites. I don't think it is recommended or allowed regardless of whether they furnish their own water. We have it done in FL on concrete pads and it still makes a mess in the sand for hours after.

I had a call this week from a vendor that does RV washing and detailing. As I understand it, they use a waterless system. I sent them a vendor registration form, and expect that they'll be there.

Looks like you may be coming from the south to Goshen. Not sure on your route but there are two Blue Beacons truck washes in Indianapolis.

One at Exit 99 or 95 (Whiteland exit) on I-65 just south of Indy. And one at Exit 4 on 465 on the south side.

What have you not thought of to make this a great rally. Only thing better is to put Youroo as far from people as possible.... I'm thinking UNDER the Muck Pile myself.

Maybe tie me down to the RR Tracks like in the Old Movies! Youroo!!

We try, but here's a perfect example of why we need input and assistance from so many volunteers. I was going to put Youroo ON the muck pile. UNDER never even occurred to me. Thanks!

To save a little time and labor, just leave the mess TURBS left it in last year. Gary won't know the difference.

Just like "The Perils of Pauline" (not that I'm old enough to remember) or the Ray Stevens song "Along Came Jones."

A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasin poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh,
If you don't give me the deed to your ranch
I'll saw you all in half!
And then he grabbed her
He tied her up
He turned on the bandsaw

Chorus:
And then along came Jones
Tall thin Jones
Slow-walkin Jones
Slow-talkin Jones
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones

Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack
You shouldve seen what was goin on by the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine, Sweet Sue was havin fits
That villain said, Give me the deed to your ranch
Or I'll blow you all to bits!
And then he grabbed her
He tied her up
He lit the fuse to the dynamite

Chorus

I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-em-up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was tryin to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said, If you don't give me the deed to your ranch
I'm gonna throw you on the railroad tracks!
And then he grabbed her
He tied her up
He threw her on the railroad tracks
A train started comin

Chorus

Yes, folks, another opportunity for (temporarily) live entertainment.

If you are coming the same way as me, there's a blue beacon in fort Wayne not far off the path. IIRC you are closer to Charlotte but there is a blue beacon near me in haw river also.

OK I am going to chime ins well Bob - Have you seen our Service Request Form? - like some others, it has been 3-ish weeks and I have not heard from service yet.

Was this wash wax all Bob? If so, they were there last year and did a demo of their waterless system. It's good stuff BTW; our son and I did our whole rig in @ 30 min.

Bob, that's not the name of the company (I have it in the office), and I'm not sure what product they use. However, one of the vendors that will be back again this year does carry Wash Wax All.

Actually, Bob, I got two from you, on 5/12 and 6/27. I show they've both gone to Service. I don't know that every division is calling on every request. They might just be calling on those on which they have questions.
