I didn't ride the shuttle as we were dry camping across from the show room. But there were several announcements made about shuttle to the off site campgrounds. Announcements were made in the show room.

The shuttle was probably one of the older Born Frees like the one that took us to the golf course for the tournament. If you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't notice it.

Just curious, anybody dry camp and use Solar?
Lots of sun or lots of shade?

And why should I drive all the way from CA?
Is it really worth the long drive for us?
That much fun? :mrgreen:
Thanks..

SteveK- the value of the rally is to meet and learn about the Born Free organization, leadership, and day to day workers, as well as tour the factory and see how the coaches are made. The staff spend their time getting to know ciustomers, and interact at all levels. They feed us, entertain us, learn from us, and are just plain nice folks. We've been to several, each of which had about 100 coaches attending. Learning from other owners in person supplements significantly what gets learned on this forum. Every time we go, we come away even more glad to be owners, and are impressed with what a first class operation the company is.

We've stayed at Joe Sheldon, and the Dakota city park. Easy commute from both with either a toad or your coach. And yes, last year there was a shuttle to Joe Sheldon park.

Seeing the new model year coaches is fun too!

Is there a place to sign up for the rally yet? I'm one of those annoying people that has to have electric due to CPAP and we don't have a toad just a bicycle built for two.

Thanks

I believe that the rally will be June 9-12 . That is the last I heard , but Kim may not be there on those dates so it might be subject to change .

This rally is put on by the folks at the Born Free Company, as opposed to the Leapin Lions. Give the factory a call. They can clarify the dates, and let you know about hookups and how they allocate the hookups. Now that the holidays are over, they will probably be planning for the summer, and should have the information out soon.

Sam,

Thanks but wonder why Born Free has not listed this 2015 factory rally on their Calendars, Rallies and Events page.

The direct clickable website link to the factory webpage to sign up for this rally is listed below.
