Restating what JimK wrote:
Gene,
You will be our guest, so you do not need to join.
Be sure to Sign in and get badged, as you do not need to have people question you.
(Be sure to attend the first timers meeting. That badge will be required much of the time.)
Having served on an off the Board for over 12 years, I know some of the protocol.
What I would like to add on a very personal note is that you don't have to join to be a part of this community, but the community is most of the value of being an owner, and if you don't chose to be a member, we don't really care if you do or do not, but the power the community can bring to bear on your problem is awesome in the true sense of the word. <= Yes, that is all one sentence and it means what it says.
In my years as a member of this community I have caused more than a few to attend a first international convention (yes, they are much more conventions than rallies) and the almost unanimous response is that it is like trying to get a sip of water from a fire hose. While I do not argue the simile, the situation can be mitigated by asking questions of those around you. If you should happen to meet a GMCer that does not want to talk about his coach, call for medical attention.
We arrived at our first of these on its very last day. We were treated like long lost friends. We had owned the coach for less than a week when we got there and it was an experience that we both still remember over a decade and an half later.
You don't have to join anything, but as soon as you see the value, it will take nothing more to convince you to join something.
