RV Events & Activities
Benefits of Attending RV Rallies
Shared ideas
Good rallies can be a bed of great ideas. These can help us find workarounds for issues we may be having with our RV. They can also provide cost-saving concepts when we find out how someone else is handling an issue we have been stumped by for weeks or months. We may even discover a way of doing something that saves us time or makes our lives just a little easier.
Onsite RV service
When you attend a rally that is specialized in specific groups and activities, you will find more support for your RV lifestyle. Do you have trouble finding the services you need at home? Do you lose access to your RV because it is being serviced for such long periods of time? 
Going to a rally may open doors for you on ways to fix your RV yourself or find out about products and services to prevent you from needing extra services on your RV. These are great time and money-saving investments you can make by attending an RV rally.
Local resources
Maybe the RV rally is in an area where you can address the specific needs of your RV and your RV lifestyle. During a rally, local resources can pull together and be a source of support for rally attendees. Local vendors can be onsite offering new and unique products and services you haven’t encountered. 
Sometimes it just helps to see things through local perspectives to give you new ideas or ways of doing something. Changing your viewpoint in a new location can give you a big jump start on how to approach an old problem.
Using skills
You may watch all these videos and read a lot of articles on RVing. But when do you practice the skills and techniques you have been learning? A rally is a great place for hands-on activities that will let you practice and hone your skills. These skills protect your RV and yourself in your travels. We don’t have to repeat mistakes when we can learn and implement skills through training and learning.
Make community connections at an RV rally
Never underestimate the power of connecting with other RVers. Especially when you attend a rally where you share several things in common with the other RVers. The more you have in common, the more likely you will be able to share stories and exchange information that will help you immensely. 
Maybe it is a rally where you all have the same brand of RV. Or maybe you share the same hobby or enjoy the same activities. These connections will not only help you improve your lifestyle experiences, but they can also create opportunities for lifelong friendships.
Why You Should You Attend an RV Rally
In this episode, Eric brings out some great reasons why every RV needs to have the To-Do List banged out. The longer the list, the harder it will be to finish everything. Also, why let problems fester when they can be taken care of and that will make for a more enjoyable RV getaway? Take the time ot finish the repairs and if there is a repair beyond your expertise, take it to a shop; just get it done.
