Monaco Pre-Rally in Lancaster, CA
The first night at the Elks in Palmdale, a knock on our
coach door surprised us with our friends Gary and Patsy, who we have not seen for over a year, as they decided to join us for the rally. After a 2 night stay at the Elks, 11 of us fellow Monaco owners caravaned to the Monaco International Pre-Rally which was being held in Lancaster, California. I was glad to go there with a group since we were getting close to Los Angeles and the roads can be quite tricky.
We got there in fine shape and found we had joined up with about 500 other coaches staying for the Pre-Rally. It was quite windy and cold there and, except for scheduled events, people did not get out much. Monaco gives us two free repairs at these functions so we had a rear bed slide motor replaced and that slide adjusted. The Magnum company looked at our 12 inverter since the lights would dim in the coach when
we turned on the water pump. They could not find a problem. We also spoke with a subcontractor for Carefree of Colorado about our drooping/riping slide awnings and they agreed they should be replaced under warranty. We found later the actual company, not a sub-contractor, must come out and see the awnings...But that is another story.
Except for the cold weather, it looks like everyone had a pretty good time there and the breakfasts and dinners were pretty good as well. We met some new people (Jim & Shirley pictured) and had some good times...Now on to Pomona and the FMCA Rally. It is really interesting to see 500 coaches lined up to caravan, all together, on a 50 mile trek.
