[bobbie56]

Okay, I will keep this open as a possibility.

[gnies]

I would like to come but way too far from me, but sound interesting I will follow the thread

I see some interest on the Facebook side too so let's keep this thing going and get LL's involvement.

We've gotten interest on both this forum and the old yahoo groups forum, as well as on facebook. What I recommend to ANYONE who wants to attend the regional rally is this: 

1) Go ahead and reserve your spot for the regional rally dates! Early October, I am going to contact the park on behalf of Livin Lite and let her know we are coming in an official capacity. 

2) Be on the lookout for an official Livin Lite sign up online. Many of you will have already registered at the park at that point, but this sign up will be for us to know how many participants we can expect. In the meantime, we will keep publicizing the Rally and encouraging people to reserve their spot at the campground. 


If you guys have any ideas or suggestions regarding how to best get the participants signed up on our end, let me know. I'm thinking having a link to our new website and having the sign up on our website...then posting that link on here and Facebook. 

Let me know what you think!

I would definitely come to this, I have camped at Ft. Stevens before and I love Oregon parks over Washington's state parks.

Hi Group!
What usually happens at one of these Rally events?

I am in the market for my first trailer, and I am knee-deep in the product research phase.

The most important outcome for me is a deep technical dive of the products.  I want to pretty much take one of these things apart to see what makes it tick.  I'm coming with all the inspection tools that I can scrape together, and I hope to leave with the confidence needed to write that big check and handle issues that crop up in remote places.

Is anyone else interested in this sort of thing?


Thanks,

David

My wife, daughters, and I are itching to get to the coast. I decided we're going to go scope out Ft. Stevens state park next weekend (October 2-4). It is 3 hours from our house, which is worth it considering the quality reputation of Oregon's State Parks. I'll take some photos and get a lay of the land for myself and anyone else on here who is interested. We've reserved a spot in loop "G", which has water and electrical. I'll keep this thread posted.

Cheers!

[/quote][p]1. Well, since this is the first time one of these is happening...I'm betting on a potluck bbq dinner, a fair amount of adult beverages, followed by skinny dipping in the Pacific. And if there's sufficient interest to sustain LL's attention maybe a factory rep giving out t-shirts, beer coozies, and bumper stickers, in case anyone's factory decals peeled off.[/p][p]
[/p][p]2. No, I'm not letting you take mine apart and see if you can get it back together again. Maybe a visit to the factory would give you that kind of deep dive.[/p][p]

[/p][/quote]Well, that pretty much sums it up! ;-) 

I will mostly likely be there, along with the factory rep and/or General Manager. We'd like to feed you guys a meal, get to know you better, and pass out lots of cool Livin Lite paraphernalia. There are a couple of things that are on the burner that I can't divulge quite yet....But soon...



very soon....

In a sense, the LL trailers boil down to a big fancy box to keep the OEM (stove, refrigerator, electrical...) gear dry.  It'd be good to see if we can get some of the OEM reps engaged, too.  After all, they're invested in a happy tribe of LL owners, too

Plus it opens up the swag potential!

In clarification of my prior statement, which I just re-read (sober) and which could have been taken the wrong way:

I would let Tinkering Techie take my trailer apart, with the firm and confident knowledge that he could put it together again, with only a few extra parts leftover.

Maybe he would leave it in better shape than when you let him have at it!

Doubtless, this is true.
