Entegra's Coach Academy '17 Rally - Day 3

This was the best day of the rally, packed with information and good times!  After breakfast, we attended P.J.'s class on do-it-yourself RV maintenance - good information. Then we went to the Spartan building and talked with Mike O'Neil, we all know him better as 'Big Mike'.  It is always nice seeing Big Mike, he knows these chassis like the back of his hand. He answered our Spartan questions and he explained to everyone the correct order to clear the three air tanks. It was another good class.

We took a lunch break before the next class which was on the Aqua-Hot system. Another good class and I won a annual maintenance kit that came in a cool Aqua-Hot bag-case.

Next was the audio visual class that was lead by three smart guys. We got a quick overview of the new audio system. We don't have that one, but we enjoy hearing about the new stuff. Then the guys answered our questions about the specific system that is in our RV. And John won a JBL bluetooh speaker!  Craig Smith, President of Xcite Solutions, offered to go to our coach and give us a quick tutorial on our equipment.  We had a little time before our next class to we jumped at the offer. Wow, we never knew the Rand GPS could do all the stuff he demonstrated. By the end of that session we realized we were only using about 10% of what our Xcite system could do. We now have our phones setup on the Xcite bluetooth - which is so helpful when he is guiding my parking at RV resorts. We now send our SiriusXM to play over the house Bose system, and now use filters to locate FlyingJ's on the GPS while also showing the weather plotted with colors on the screen. Thanks Craig!

Then we headed to the best class - Wine Tasting, where there was a fun-loving good group of people and a wonderful host Wes, he knows wine and taught us a lot. We sat with our terrific friend Marie and had a great time! 

John line dancing

Tonight's bar-b-que dinner party had a theme of "Diamonds and Denim" with a band playing country music. Everyone looked great, decked out in their cowboy hats and boots, with the ladies iced in sparkling stones. There was line dancing and two-stepping. We shared a table with Jerry and Marie and we all had a delicious dinner and a grand time dancing for hours - fun night.
