Feel free to let me know of any changes the OP should need and invite whoever you want! Hope to see you guys out there

 

put me as a maybe

 

The wife n I are going! Already paid for!

 

I'm also a maybe. I would like to, especially since I live like 10 minutes away from Biltmore.

 

Bump. Gotta be more people who are going to this thing

 

I've been debating on going to this for a few years now. $200 is a hefty price tag IMO. Worth it?

 

I am hoping to go as well. I currently have a conflicting event that I am hoping to weasel out of. A maybe for me at this time

BTW it is worth it. The stories you hear, and the ideas you see are great fun

 

I will definitely think about it for sure. I'm in the beginning stages of an overlanding setup

 

I wanted to go last year but had other things come up. @Mad T went and it looked awesome

 

I guess I can say I'm a maybe on this. It seems like a good time

 

Morning bump!

 

Ok, so who has actually been to this before? What makes it worth it? What is offered there? Trying to justify the $200 ticket cost with camping

 

If @Mad T would ever post up he could tell you

But here is a video from last year

You are pretty much paying to camp on the Biltmore property to check out vendors and other peoples builds who have traveled there. It's fun for sure. Plus cost includes going through the Biltmore house so if you're into that or not it's worth taking a couple hours to go through. It's amazing. But I agree $200 is a bit over priced. Going through the house I believe is $75?? so that's a big chunk of the $200.

 

I looked it up, $55 to go thru the house if you buy in advance. So the seeing the vendors and chatting with other people. Are there a lot of classes to attend? Overall benefit of attending?

 

I'm in for a day trip no camping

 

Still on the first page?? I'm planning on going, just gotta convince the Fiance we are gonna camp vs day pass

 

This is currently on hold for me, gotta make sure I can afford it after being out of work for about 3 weeks

 

I'll be there with the fiance.

Would like to steal some ideas looking at other people's builds. We're camping out of the truck for a month for our honeymoon driving around CO/UT/OR etc. Plus checking out the Biltmore has been on my list for a while.

I'm interested in checking out some of the seminars and stuff- If you can get in with the regular ticket. The cost of the premium tickets is way steep, and having never been I want to feel it out first. It would be cool to use your own truck in the different driving courses.
