Whoever these campers are, I think we should invite them to join in with the social activities. Camped in the midst of a group of podders who are talking, laughing, running around from site-to-site and taking over the loop's common areas could turn into a very bad experience for them. For the sake of a couple name tags, sharing some food at the pot luck and calling them honorary podders, we could make it a memorable event. Of course, it depends on the situation, the people and their reaction, but I'd rather plan for some good will and a good time for all. |

It was my understanding that the t@bs are reserving sites in a location of their own and having a mini gathering for those who live in that area. It is also my understanding that they have been invited to socialize with the podders but are not officially part of our roundup. Since this is our first ever roundup and they have had many, figure during our socializing hours we could pick their brains for ideas for future roundups.

That is such a great idea!!
Just for the record, there won't be 30 T@Bs in the park. Just a few (maybe 4 or 5) of my sister's friends who happen to own a TAB who look for any excuse to camp and don't live too far away. She's not going to post in on their forum. She got permission from the ORGANIZERS to do this.
She just could have put out the word "Come one, Come All", but she didn't. They aren't going to be on our POD LANE but elsewhere close by.

Anyone could be staying in the park besides us. It may as well be another mini rally of people with similar trailers to ours. We may also learn somethings since the T@B's have been around longer and may have come up with ways of dealing with some of our space limitations. I look forward to meeting them.

Okey dokey, I did say I thought it would be cool to have the Pods near each other. Great visual impact and photo ops.
That said, how can having T@Bs at the park detract from the Pod rally? Does anyone think T@berella should move to the other side of the park?  NOT ME As for driving a long way for the rally, you gotta admit we are coming a heck of a long way for this.  |

I believe this is a great idea. Now let's be honest, many of us even thought about buying a T@B before buying a R-Pod. It was on my list like many of us. So, actually I am very excited to see them at the rally. And no one can say that it doesn't take an unconventionnal type a person to own a T@B or an R-Pod. Those are not white boxes.
I am traveling a long way to meet all of you and honestly I am more than happy to meet even more "kewl" people. The more the merrier :-) I am bringing my dad with me who is my handyman. Believe me he will love looking at those T@Bs . And by the way, be ready to answer 10 000 questions from my dad. He is curious about all the mods you made and why this and not that :-p
This will be soooooo much fun! Is it spring yet??!!!

Having read some of the posts on your r-pod nation where people are concerned about having T@Bs in attendance at the roundup, I have had to reconsider continuing with these "joint" plans. It is, after all, your first east-coast rally, and it might just be best that you focus on R-Pods and each other and not have to worry about T@B being present. It is a very special time for you guys as you plan this rally and set the tone for this roundup and future roundups; and I don't think there should be any controversy by any R-Podders to spoil the fun. The only reason that this whole suggestion came about is because my sister was at our T@B International rally this past summer and I wanted to travel to Kentucky to camp with her at the R-Pod rally. (Kentucky is a half-way mark from her her house to my house, and it was just a very convenient and exciting meeting point.) Within 100 miles of Boonesborough I have many T@B friends, and it seemd an easy way to spend a weekend with them, also.However, after reading some of the concerns presented here, I feel that there might be a better time in the future where we can plan a joint T@B/R-Pod rally. I will say nothing to T@Bbers about this roundup. Meanwhile -- I have MY reservation for your rally and will still plan to "sneak in" and participate on the fun as I had originally planned. Thanks to your R-Pod planning committee that have made me feel so welcome. T@Berella

There is one site in and among us that was reserved long before we Podders started reserving sites. They are in for the shock of thier lives when we all show up and surround them. It may be unnerving when Pods and T@Bs keep popping up all week end.
