Talked with jet zen this afternoon. We were discussing the need for a really good turnout for the national rally. I hope we can get 50 or more units this July. Also, most owner groups for other major brands have state rally's and regional rally's. if every major dealer that handles the kz product could be willing to provide a mailing list of rv buyers, it would be very easy for owners in every state to set up a rally for their state. A lot of groups schedule rally's on a quarterly basis. The next step is regional rally's. That is a multi-state rally, possibly3 or 4 states that are adjacent. Then have a really big national rally once a year. This system works! I was a member if the Cardinal owners group for several years and some of our best camping memories were of state and regional rally's. we met the couple that we do most of our camping with at a state rally. We have a lot of treasured friends from those rally's. there is something about getting together with common interests with the same brand units. I hope this will encourage some of you to start state and regional rally's. I think it will make you enjoy camping even more.

No. I do remember that one of the attendees took it down after we took the group picture on the last day, but I don't remember who. Maybe someone still has it. Kz should have a generic kz banner you can use.

That is on my list to ask KZ for.
Just got finished drafting an email to KZ and sent it off about what we had talked about. we will see what kind of response I get.

We belong to a Good Sam camping group, as you said we have meet some great people within the group, most are air-steamers, they left our three day camp-out yesterday for a Air Steam 4 day State Rally ...
What I wonder is that now days businesses are hard pressed to give out names and addresses of people unless the contact those people an ask for permission... I talked with Kz Customer service the other day and they had my address in there data base which sort of surprised me... I wonder if by request a single person or persons could ask Kz for a state by state list of Kz owners if needed, or even a region list...
I live in the Northwest and would love to hold a rally up here, I do not know if my Dealer would give out names or addresses of Kz owners, they are very large an I am sure they have them so i will I am going to ask ...
I believe I will present it in such a way as to say there is a National Rally why do we not want to have a State or even Region Rally in our our own back yard ... I might even make a plug for them stating it good for business if the sponsored it promoting both their business and the product they sell ...
I do not believe it will happen this year but I think I will float it for next year 2018, are summers here are pretty short unlike most area's, lots of rain an cooler temperatures into July at times...
I will see how the National goes since we are going and go from there ...
Hope you are mending well, safe travels
Chuck

If your are coming the the Kz rally you need to signup a soon as possible, even thought jetzen has reserved a number of site's !!!
There is a number of rallies planed in this Area, the Forest River Rally (FROG) has well over 800 attending an many arrive a week ahead of that rally which is the week following the Kz Rally .....
As well, jetzen has stated that their is a Camping Rally before and after the campgrounds we are at, to boot other Rally's in the area ...
Since the fairgrounds where the FROG is holding their rally is not letting in early attendees. they will be looking for site's to wait till they can get into that Rally.... The campground were we are having are Rally at has been stated a number of times as a great campground to hang out at till they can get into their rally ...
Please, Please, Please Do not wait till the last minute to make your reservations, I can't say it enough !
