What is The Rally?
Outdoor and RVing enthusiasts are continuously learning about their RV lifestyle and enjoy getting together to have fun. The Rally gives novice and experienced RVers the opportunity to intermingle with industry experts, exhibitors from all over North America and spend time with fellow RV enthusiasts from all over the United States and Canada.
The annual Rally includes a major RV show where hundreds of RV dealers and manufacturers show off their latest and greatest models. The supplier exhibits contain every service and domestic device necessary for RVing, and much more. The Rally is sponsored by the Good Sam Club, Coast to Coast Resorts, Camping World President's Club, Trailer Life and Motorhome magazines and Woodall's Publications.
Informative seminars, the Rally Dog Show, and exciting evening and daytime entertainment are all included in your low Rally fee.

What is Will Call?
Some pre-registered families choose to pick up their final packets at Will Call because they are traveling and are unable to receive their final packets by mail. Will Call is staffed by Rally members who have attended many Rallies. They will be able to answer your questions and direct you to the services you need at the Rally. If you would like to pick up your final packet at Will Call, please tell your customer service representative when making a reservation by phone or make a note of it if registering online or by mail.

This will be my first Rally. What can I expect?
You can expect to have fun, shop for a new or used rig at special Rally prices, learn how to maintain your RV with the latest and greatest cleaning products on the market, and get interesting and useful information from more than 150 seminars being hosted by RV industry experts.
Seminar topics will include healthy cooking on the road, maintaining your chassis systems, how to become a full-time RVer, making money while traveling in your RV and more. If you're interested in shopping for a new rig style or are simply curious as to the newest technologies being offered in the RV industry, RV manufacturers use this Rally to showcase their new rig models, usually at specially discounted Rally rates - not to mention the RV financing companies offering special loan rates exclusively at the Rally.
The Rally staff starts planning each Rally more than one year prior to the Rally date. While every site is unique, every Rally provides consistently invaluable resources to any RVer - whether shopping for a new rig or looking for ways to better the one you already own, there's no RV Rally bigger or better than The Rally.

Are children and grandchildren welcome?
Absolutely! The Rally provides a youth activity program for children (ages 6-12) and teenagers (ages 13-17) where they will meet other youths involved with RVing families! With a full schedule of activities, children and teens (ages 6-17) are occupied for nearly all Rally operation hours, so you are free to attend interesting seminars and peruse the exhibitor halls while your children or grandchildren enjoy social activities, have pizza parties, play games and just have fun. Trips to local places of interest are always included. Be sure to register the children when you pre-register - children can also be registered as Rally participants upon arrival to the Rally site. Specific youth activity schedules will be provided when you register at the Youth Activities table at The Rally site.
