RVers Enjoy Model Specific Rallies

RVers like to get together and visit, play and just have fun. What better reason to do this than to have an intentional social outing based on the model of your RV. From pop-ups to high-end motor coaches these rallies are going on all over the US right now. For instance, I just visited the Country Coach Rally held at the fairgrounds in Albany, Oregon where Country Coach owners gathered for fellowship. These events usually have lots of entertainment including bands, dances, games and you name it. There are always lots of new RVs to look at and appreciate. Matt Howard, the Director of Marketing, stands in front of the 1.3 million dollar Country Coach Rhapsody. Vendors are also available to sell you stuff you need to make RVing more pleasurable. Dining together is often a part of these events as is the spontaneous tail-gate party that can break out anywhere at any time. These rallies are places where new friendships are made and old ones renewed. I made friends with Brian & Kay Case from Bend, Oregon while attending the rally. We spent time talking about what we liked and disliked about our Country Coaches and what we would do differently in their design (perhaps the engineering staff at various manufacturers would do well to spend more time talking to the folks that actually use their products before they make design changes). These events also have seminars where you can learn more about your particular RV and there are usually factory representatives available to answer questions plus on site RV technicians to handle minor repairs. Check with your RV manufacturer for details about upcoming rallies and events. Jim Twamley
