Thank you it look like an area that might cause trouble. I talked to a bunch of guys at the Monaco group today and they showed me the area used last year.
so i wondered if it was the correct way . Thanks for the Heads up

You should be getting 8 to 10 bulletins from me to all coaches attending the Gathering, and I have said 2 or 3 times, the process is for you to get to the Rangers station. if it is open, pay, if it is not then wait there and call my cell phone. I have given the number repeatedly in my mailings. If you have not gotten them or don't know my cell, then PM me back channel here and I will send them to you again. There is also no guarantee that we will be in the same spot as last year, so please follow the procedure and call my cell when you get there.

Thanks

Gary

I hope your coming to Q i want to thank you in person. That was the problem.
When i set it to zero all is well and normal. I have no idea what search watts is but that was the issue. It was driving me crazy.

Ron,

Your welcome. Yes I will be in Q for the gathering, looking forward to meeting you.

Search watts is designed to save battery power by having the inverter go to sleep until there is a high enough demand (in watts) to wake it up and start inverting. The problem as you found out is that if the microwave or other such appliances may not draw enough power with just the display on to keep the time set. Also others with Vegatouch equipped coaches have found it does not work well with the software to set anything other than zero.

No problem, but wrong information is much worse than no information particularly when it comes to damaging people's coaches. With the current confusion on where we will end up Gathering, I want people to hear only one voice on where we will be.

See you Friday.

Gary and all our new friends,
A note to say how much we enjoyed the 7 days spend with the group of Entegra's. The wife did not want to go but being the trooper she is, agreed. Turned out she had a blast and learned alot about our coach. We both met some wonderful people and know they will be lifelong friends.
We will surely be back when we are in the West again.
It turned out to to be expensive too. Complete set of Magna Shades and a decision to go solar. Already have ordered the electric tilt found at the show. A fun project for sure. Lots of boon-docking in our future.
Anyone who may be on the fence about attending the gathering, I strongly recommend it. Great time with the right attitude. Steve & Viv

Fantastic Job Gary putting the gathering together, everything went so smooth and we enjoyed meeting new people, and learning so much about my new coach.
also those who helped put the events together a big thank you as well

Well, the 2019 version of the ENTEGRA@QUARTZSITE GATHERING is now in the books and it was even better than the last one. Had a lot of newbie coach owners there. Probably 85% of the coaches there were 2016 or newer coaches, many for their first Gathering (some see it as a rally, but it is fundamentally different from a rally). LOTS of very nice new friends, and great to see old friends again out in the desert. Fantastic. Had about 5 "Four-Timers" (have attended all four Gatherings) there and all doing well and still loving the desert. Also, thanks are extended to Entegra Coach, Entegra Coach Owners Association, Paul Evert RV Country for support of the Gathering. It was also fun to have Pat Carroll there for the third time for one of his "owner feedback sessions". Great time!!

Thanks to all who made the Gathering great fun. Dee and I wish you safe travels, and hopefully a chance to cross your paths either in Quartzsite again or out on the road.

Thanks Don for the Drone pics. Very nice. Could you please send me any drone video that you might have to my email address or if you have them stored somewhere, a link to their location?

Thanks for all you do at Quartzsite!!!
