We left
Chattanooga on Monday, June 9th and arrived at the River Plantation
RV Resort in Sevierville, TN for the DRV Owners Rally. This is a really nice
park, and would be perfect for the SMART National Rally!!
The
highlight of the Rally was the food, it was all catered and was better than any
rally we have ever been to!!
The one tour
we did during the Rally was to the Bush Bean Plant. I had the impression that
we were going to have a tour of the plant, but what we had was a film of the
plant and the demonstration of how the beans are made. The film was
interesting, but would have loved to have actually seen the plant! It was right
across the street from where we were at the Museum/Gift Shop.
They had
some really nice gifts for the raffle, so I tried my luck and won some wine for
Phil…three bottles worth, so he was pleased.
Then I won the Quad Step, which we have been looking at, but Phil wanted
the aluminum step and this one was steel. The 50/50 tickets were $5.00 each, so
I only got $20.00 worth, and didn’t win. One lady won with two tickets, out of
the three possible, and each was worth $567.00.
Then came the door prizes and each rig got one. Most of these were
donated by RV’s For Less, the local DRV Dealer, and there were some really nice
ones. When our name was called they
brought us what they thought was two canvas chairs. But, when they handed them
to Phil, he raised his eyebrows because they were really heavy, too heavy for
chairs! So he took one out of the bag,
and what they look like are two projector screens. I noticed what he didn’t
though, and that was that on the other side of the white screen was printed
with RV’s For Less advertising like they would use at an RV show. After the prizes were given out Phil went and
talked to the owner of RV’s and told him what we had, he was shocked that those
signs were there, they weren’t suppose to be. Those things cost him like
$500.00 each, so he was very great full that Phil let him know what we had.
Phil then worked a deal, we didn’t get a door prize because we had to give it
back, he didn’t want the steel quad step, so he got them to agree to a swap…the
advertising signs and the quad for an aluminum quad step that just came out on
the market! So, I’d say we did pretty good!!

We left
Sevierville on Saturday, June 14th and moved to Breckenridge Lake
Resort just south of Crossville, TN. This is an RPI park, and since we are
members of RPI we only pay $10.00 per night, plus $2.00 per night for 50 amp
electric, very good price in today’s world of $40-$50/night. We are here just
to relax and pass the time until it’s time for us to head to Nashville to meet
our friends Rick and Jennifer for the weekend, so we leave here on Thursday. So
far the only reason we have left the campground is to go to the grocery store
in Crossville, so we have definitely been relaxing!
Oh, almost
forgot, I got the last RV Park for the Alaska Caravan done, so we are all
booked!! Such a good feeling to have that done!!
