dewilso Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I thought it was "Military Air Transport System" ! Thought we'd see some old 124s, 119s & etc . Edit "MATS" we're called "trash haulers", guess it still works ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dascom Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yup, we got our Lot L campground fee paid and registration for show, limited number of hookups, first come, first serve for those. The RV office in center of lot. Got couple phone numbers 502-367-5383 and Security @502-367-5360. May want to hide my toter because some of the rigs that show up are the definition of WOW.

adept99 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 As I've mentioned before, we live just outside of Louisville, so for any of you folks coming to the show, if you need a hand with some "tribal knowledge" kind of stuff like routing around town, restaurants, truck service, whatever, please PM me with a phone # & we'll see what we can do.

So are you going in early? Was the first number the one to call for the campground sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dascom Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes Jack, Wednesday night. Probably need to call the Security number, that's who answered when we called. Looks like pay day by day, I can do that. Going to be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 We are now registered for MATS, and have a campsite Wed through Friday - leaving Saturday. I've confirmed you can get in early for the camping. There are not many spots with electric left.....better get your reservation in if you intend to camp with hookups. They are NON REFUNDABLE, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Where is the "campground"? Do they provide temporary power posts for those camping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dascom Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 SD, they have maps and directions on their site, our paperwork says Lot L. Check it out here. http://www.truckingshow.com/directions-parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Lot L has a mixture of hookups - some 50 and some 30. They also have some sewer and some water. The only guarantee is that you will have at least a 30 amp hookup. No guarantee of anything else. First come, first serve. If your truck does not fit in the lined of sites then you can park it elsewhere - supposedly near. But I'd bet it is lot K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrap Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Post up when the BBQ is on and I'll be over. Seriously though, I'm there all that week and half the next week so maybe we can find some time to talk trucks. The place is an absolute disaster of people on Saturday. Plan on it taking a good while to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick & Alana Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm going to be a little stronger on Saturday than Scrap was. If at all possible DON'T go on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 We will likely extend if they let us and leave Sunday. If not, we will escape sometime Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
