Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 2007FMCA Rally
There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. Anyone been to that campground? Do you have to park a rig in the mud? Comments on these events or anything about rallys? We've never been to one. Thanks > There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. > Anyone been to that campground?

If so, you shouldn't have to park in the mud. They (fairgrounds) were working on parking improvements since the last rally. I worked it parking cars for my squadron and it was a muddy mess. I don't recall the coaches having trouble, but then again I was where the vendors and car drivers parked. I live nearby and can check it out tomorrow if you want or if anyone else is interested. Does FMCA have a parking plan out for it yet? >> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >> Anyone been to that campground? Do you have to park a rig in the mud?

We haven't paid for the event yet. Thursday is the deadline. It's a last minute decision. I can't remember a parking plan. I had noticed, several years ago, passing the fairgrounds, which is right close to the Interstate, that it was mostly grass. That is if I am thinking about the right place. No problem with grass when it is real dry, maybe. But I don't think I want to try 40,000 lbs on it if it has rained in the last 3 months. We're new at it but I don't think it would be much fun. That's why I asked about the sites. >>> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >>> Anyone been to that campground? Do you have to park a rig in the mud?

There use to be problems in the that area, but they seem to have it fixed. A sad thing is, when they planned that facility, the original plan called for 25 camping spaces!! Man have they since learned!! Tom J >>> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >>> Anyone been to that campground? Do you have to park a rig in the mud?

I found this map: http://www.fmca.com/conventions/2007perry/Groundsmap_77.pdf I'll stop by there tomorrow and see how it looks. >>> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >>> Anyone been to that campground?

It looks like they paved interior roads connecting different parking areas to the entrances. I saw the grass & gravel area where the coaches were parked and that itself doesn't look any different. They also worked on the drainage, but that wasn't the problem I saw last time. The parking area where folks parked their toads saw a lot of in & out traffic, combined with a soaked ground, and the grass just tore up and was a mud pit after that. I don't think that is likely to happen where the coaches park. IIRC, we had a lot of heavy rain just prior to and on the first day, which was a big factor. > time.

I'm hoping that the rain Perry is suppose to get this week stays in the clouds until it gets down to Fargo!! I've planned a boat ride for 100 people into the western Okefenokee Swamp next week and there's not enough water to float a dug out today. :-( Tom J >> time.

Maybe by next week the watershed will help too? Good luck with that! >>>> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >>>> Anyone been to that campground?

It look like we can't fit the Company's schedule so we are now looking at Tampa Freightliner thing instead the next week. I hope it isn't going to rain down there. Thanks for looking. I appreciate that a bunch. >>>>> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >>>>> Anyone been to that campground? Do you have to park a rig in the mud?

You're welcome, glad to do it. >>>>>> There's a FMCA Jubilee in Perry Georgia the end of March. >>>>>> Anyone been to that campground? Do you have to park a rig in the mud?

We wanted to go and planned it a little before I posted here then the next day we found out we wouldn't be able to go. We may see you at Tampa if you're going. |
