@pdx1955 posted:When you're on the west coast, only a member here and there will make it to York at any given time. So we really need to make the most of the local chapter and division meets which are small (10 for our chapter and 60 for the division would be good attendance). Plus I put a lot of time in as a chapter president along with a core group of members for our annual public open house to show off the clubhouse layouts. We actually got a couple people to join TCA last time. For me and others, York is a bonus. At least now, I don't need to take thousands and figuring on driving back with a full vehicle as purchasing needs to be a bit strategic. Of course, York will show me all the things that I didn't know I will need 😀 so must be prepared for that siren song...
I've noticed, with envy, the level of local activity of the western folks. Local TCA in my area (central Indiana) died years ago.
I doubt that you'll find much of interest at York, but try to enjoy yourself anyway. 
I highly recommend attending as many meetings and activities as you can - layouts (including SGMA), special interest meetings, the social media get together, dinners, etc.
Serious tip - read about the UPS fairgrounds shipping fiasco in October and plan accordingly.
