“Camping” at the FMCA Convention at the Pomona Fairplex location entails a great deal of planning and organization. The rigs are parked face to face, row upon row, in large paved parking lots; some as “full’ generator, some with generator use from 7 AM to 11 PM only and some with 30 amp electric hook-ups. We opted to go with part-time generator thinking it would be adequate while Rich and Laura registered for electric parking. Because of our different choices, when we arrived on Saturday, we were directed to two different lots not too far from each other. When we arrived we tried to upgrade to electric but at the time there were none available so we were put on a waiting list. After spending two nights in the “genny” lot with our all-electric coach we realized just how inconvenient it was.

This morning, we received a call to let us know we could move but before we did, we confirmed that Rich and Laura could move with us. That way we wouldn’t have so far to walk when we wanted to get together (which we do a lot) and Rich and Laura could have access to our Internet.

So today before our morning coffee or the start of the many seminars, we moved our two coaches to their new locations, side-by-side in an electric accessible lot. We spent our morning checking out seminars and component makers and this afternoon we toured some of the 800+ new and slightly used rigs on display from various manufacturers. The weather was a little warmer and the rain held off until this evening making it more comfortable to get around. Tomorrow we have several educational seminars that we want to attend and it is nice to know we don’t need to get back to our rig throughout the day to fire up the generator to keep our batteries charged up.
