Please join us for the 2025 Freightliner Chassis Owners Club business meeting event to be held at the Allegan County Fairgrounds in Allegan Michigan, beginning on Monday June 23rd with departure on Friday June 27. Camp Freightliner will be taught on Saturday and Sunday June 21st and 22nd. As with all of our National Events we will be offering educational seminars, social activities, meals, fun and camaraderie. The price of $390.00 for two in a coach includes four nights of camping (including water and electric with dump locations on site). Price for one in a coach is $320.00, add $90.00 for each person over two in a coach. For this event we are trying something different as we are providing food vouchers to cover three meals prepared on location by the Allegan High School Band Boosters. Additionally we will have breakfast served Tuesday morning by renowned “Chris Cakes Flippin Pancakes”.
There is an additional fee for those wishing to attend Camp Freightliner. This fee will be paid to the Freightliner Corp. Details on this as well as camping information for three additional nights will be provided in the confirmation letter you will receive after signing up for the main event. It is mandatory that you attend the event in order to take the class. This is done so that maximum benefit will be obtained from the information you receive about your Freightliner chassis..
There will be one additional optional activity for those wishing to attend. This will be a 90 minute tour on the Star of Saugatuck, an authentic sternwheel paddle boat, giving a scenic cruise on the Kalamazoo River and weather permitting into Lake Michigan. Cost for this tour is $69.00 per person and will include a box lunch and round trip transportation. This has been scheduled for 10 am to 3 pm. The Star is handicap accessible for wheel chairs up to 27″. We have reserved the lower deck so no stairs required. Any questions, please contact Linda Murphy murphyLpilot@localnet.com or 260-413-8134 (leave message)
