The 2023 Jekyll Island Meetup is the main goal of this trip. Revisiting with friends we met at last year’s inaugural meetup. Last year there were about 24 Axis/Vegas RV’s. This year there will be about double that and a representative of Thor Motor Coach (Anson Adams) will be attending.

We enjoyed it last year. Jekyll Island State Park is a beautiful place and we learned a lot about our new RV from friendly people having similar experiences. Becky’s sister Jennie had done similar meetups with her Winnebago View RV and enjoyed them.
