Like the tv/satellite etc. idea for a seminar! After reading all sorts of posts on satellite hookup it is still confusing.

Would be nice if you had a scale there, that we could weight our RV & see where we stand.

I was camping in PEI last year, when a rally started started from where we were. The wagon master had a portable scale, with which he weighed all the RVs, also each axes, both sides, I was impressed. Maybe FR has one that they could being to the rally?

Winter travel, how to keep your waterlines and tanks from freezing while on the road during the day, when the temps are below freezing.

Great one Turbs, I 2nd, 3rd or 4th. I would like to see this go a little further and include electrical wiring in general. Explain to us why we can not get a wiring diagram on our particular coach. It just has to be available somewhere.

Last November, before we bought our V-Lite, we attended Boot Camp at the Escapees' Rainbow's End park in Livingston, Texas. We knew we were ignorant, but we didn't realize just how clueless we were. The experience was a fantastic educational opportunity and we met so many genuinely nice people as well.
This link, Escapees RV Club, will take you to the list of presenters for Boot Camp. They are all legitimate experts in their respective specialties. I would recommend any of them as instructors for FROG Rally seminars.
We will probably go to Boot Camp again in a year or so when we have some experience to guide us in asking particular questions for areas of concern. It was some of the best money we have ever spent and made us much more knowledgable consumers when we bought our TT and truck in February. Hope this information is helpful.
