I posted then deleted my opinion once but...
The last FMCA rally, in Michigan this past spring...the new Towable Folks were clanish and not much socializing. RV Dealers did not show up. I can only ascertain based on limited observation as I was a bit ill and in the coach more than out. Wife was out and involved in things though. She noticed the same thing. We usually make two or three families as friends. We made one with a couple from Wisconsin and we went out to eat and see several times.
The rally was a failure but...the towable Folks did not jump in to help.
I appologize to those that did. It seemed they wanted to sit around in their groups only. I perceive, and I do not miss anything that passes by, that they were intimidated by the $500,000.00 plus coach owners.
Ours certainly is not one of those expensive coaches though.
I have noticed the same things at campgrounds where the Towable Folks and Coachs are together. I don't care how much money you have.
A real strong social director and program at rallys can help this.
And both sides should make the effort to be part of things.
The Folks in the fancy rigs are more outgoing of course, as is to be expected as those feeling their suceess are not intimidated unless someoen shows up in a five million dollar rig and are shallow.
Sojsut stop it. Forget what righ you are in and jump in and make friends and make rallys and get togetehers a huge success and make new friends.
