Do you really think it will be that easy to find him and the IRV2 stickers??

Just attend the iRV2 social on Thursday at 4 PM in the Newmar Kountry Klub tent. DriVer will be there (well, that is what he said).

Hi johnnyringo,
That post was referring to a registered group arrival day. If you attend the show, after this year, PM me. You can come to the Newmar Kountry Klub rally as my buddy. That way you can arrive one day before the show starts and have no difficulty disconnecting your toad.

Where exactly is your tent Gary?

Gary: Thanks for the offer. Look forward to meeting you. If you happen to see our RV, be sure to stop by. Our front license plate is easy to spot.

Hi Clifftall,

The NKK tent and rally are in the same place as we have been the last few years. This is right next to the I4 Interstate highway and across the highway from the Hard Rock Casino. We will be near the Orient Road entrance. If you are at the show, but not at the NKK rally, the easiest way to get to the site of the social is to exit the show by walking past the Nu Wa and Holiday Rambler sales displays. Then walk about 1/4 mile straight. One will see a large white tent. The social will be held in the tent.

Thanks Gary. We'll be there Thurs and try to get over there

Geezer80 · 01-11-2012, 08:53 AM

We're here! This place is huge! We're parked in the same aisle as several of the Newmar's, second from the end.

DriVer save me a sticker. Will be there Saturday. Hiop I can find you

Hi johnnyringo,
I am the 5th coach from the Newmar Kountry Klub tent (large white tent). Right along the fence. See if you can make the iRV2 social. It will be in the white tent.

Thanks Gary it was great get together at the Tampa RV Show

Geezer80 · 01-12-2012, 04:47 PM

It must have been a quick event. Arrived at the tent around 5 to find it empty. Do all Newmar owners turn in before us?? LOL! Gary, we did locate your RV but it looked like no one was home (no towed).

GaryKD · 01-12-2012, 06:22 PM

The iRV2 social was scheduled for 4 PM. We had another record attendance at the iRV2 social. Two people were counting heads. One said 56 and the other said 50. I'm splitting the difference and calling it 53. Thanks for everyone who attended. Also thanks to the NKK for allowing us to use the tent and to Allen Erp, owner of North Trail, who sponsored the tent. The social concluded about 4:50 PM.

On Thursday and Friday, my toad is not parked with my coach. We are packed in very tight. I park my toad at the end of the aisle. This allows attendees to have a pull out if vehicles are trying to us the road at the same time. Sometime on Friday, the coach next to me is to leave the rally. Then, I'll have a place to park, next to my coach.

It is difficult to catch me at my coach. There is a long list of things I try to get done, during the show. The best way to meet me is to attend a rally activity at the tent. On Friday I will be at:
2:30 PM is the tech round table
4:00 PM is the Sea Turtle and Manatee Chapters' social.

Every night a group of us go out to dinner. If anyone would like to attend, let me know by seeing me at one of the above mentioned activities.
