Annual Luxury Coach Rally
There was a thread posted about having a luxury coach rally a while back. I just wanted to see how much interest there would be in having one either in Canada or the US. It would be great to get together and meet in person.
Any thoughts or ideas of when, where and if you would be willing to attend, or help to organize it, please let us know.
It would be nice to invite all luxury coaches or bus conversions new and old.

Keith a luxury coach rally sounds like a great idea. We haven't had the chance to meet any newell owners. Would have liked to went to the mini rally that's going on. But with a luxury coach one we could invite the few people along that we have met since traveling who don't own Newells. We will be looking to hear more about one.

I'm totally amazed with what Rellick has done on his coaches, I think all of us with aspirations of fixing up our coaches ought to descend on Sexsmith Alberta and get some help from the wizard.

Jon, your right about the wizard part. Rellick has done more to Newells in his short time of ownership than anyone I have ever heard or met in the last almost 10 years. Most Newell owners take years to accomplish or go through the learning curve he is already mastering. I fully salute this man!
I would gladly attend any rally you folks can muster whether here in the states or up in Canada. I have my passport and ready to travel. I'm sure there may be some folks who don't have passports but I have to assume most do.
I hope many will chime in and give their opinions and support for the idea or other possible thoughts about this kind of rally and where they could attend. I will gladly check with a couple of sponsors that have mentioned to me in the past about the idea as well. Hopefully they can extend their offer if Canada ends up being the place of choice, I don't know why it would matter.

Keith those are some exciting choices. I have not been to that part of Canada. It sounds like a treat. The other suggestions from yachts sound swell too. I'll speak with some other luxury coach owners as well.

Outstanding idea Keith. Good question to where and when. We are just finishing up the acreage and ready to list so this may be a year early for us. But if we can we would be in on that note for sure. Mike & Nancy

A place on the beach or lake would be great. I would love to gather with you folks. I will be thinking on the rally idea and put together some ideas for some places to consider. It would be great to get some luxury coach owners together of all makes and years.

Randy,
It's usually not a hassle for coaches other than sponsoring brand to attend rallies. We have been to 2 Foretravel rallies in Quartzite with our Newell. They are great folks & simply referred to us as "the SOB's" (some other brand). I noticed a couple of Foretravels in the rally pics posted & wonder if they have also been to Kenny Lemon's Foretravel rallies in Quartzite.
