Well the events and conversations at the rally were second to none. And after a couple spur purchases I’ve finally gotten through what I thought would be good additions to out rig. The pin box that was installed at the campground works great. Finally got it the way I like it, with some real cushion. The suspension kit that was shipped to me ended up being good and bad at the same time. I asked Gary Wheeler to double check what I had and needed to install a Morryde kit and they shipped it right out to me. And smiling ear to ear I began assembling yesterday. This morning I tore it all off due to it not being compatible with me spring hangers. That’s the way it goes I guess. The wet bolts worked at least. I’ll have to see if I can take it back to Morryde so they can’t cut the old hangers off and install longer ones. I’m getting to know Jennifer at the factory too well I think. Talked to her several times over the last couple weeks.
I guess I’ll have to plan a trip out to Indiana some time. That’ll be difficult. Lol

we purchased the wet bolt kit from Gary before we left the rally, will install in the next few weeks,,, may be looking at a suspension upgrade at next years rally,, Heading back to KZ factory tonight to pick the camper up
after getting a lot of work done,, KZ really stepped up to take care of us, where the dealership fell... 10 hour drive from Delaware, then 12 hours back... not all at once,,,, thank god for service plazas ...

We had a great time... made a lot of new friends, heading back out thursday night to pick our GoldRush up from the factory... KZ really went all out to take care of our issues... and "Indy" has settled in with Shadow and the cats.. we missed the Rally due to medical issues. I remember you had some pin box flexing issues, which I assume was what the factory addressed for you. I also had some front end welding work done and I’m curious what they did for you and if you are satisfied with the repair. TIA. Ron |

Walter and Laurie Thank you for all the hard work you put into the rally, I know it wasn't easy an at time's frustrating when things don't go smoothly as planned which I saw none of, but at times things happened an you an your wife handed everything very well ... Good luck with next years rally, unfortunately we will not be coming since Hildi wants to travel the south west on are way to Texas in October for a quilt show ... Good luck with next years Kz Rally I know know it will be a hit again with owners  Chuck |

bluegrass2 Thank you the only reason I got to go this past year was because Hildi wanted to go to a quilt seminar in the hotel down from the camp grounds an then go to Delaware to see our middle daughter otherwise we would have not made it this past year even thought I might have came by myself as I was planning somewhat ... Possibly in a couple of years down the road we may make it again, one never knows, but Hildi liking her gardening an missing her quilting buddies she's more of a home body than me as I like the road as proven over the years with driving semi's over-the-road 48 states an Canada Safe Travels Chuck |
