    2020 National Rally FAQs

    This is gooing to be long and being in it's own thread may be better so here it isRally Information & Frequently Asked Questions2020 GDRV National Owners Rally
    When will registration begin? Registration will begin on Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 1 p.m. (EST). Be sure to have your VIN# when you begin the process and answer all the required questions (red asterisks).

    After purchasing the rally ticket (which includes camping fees for Sunday night, August 30 – Friday night,

    September 4) golf carts and excursions can be purchased on the same page. While golf carts and excursions can be purchased at a different time, there are limited numbers of each. It is highly suggested that you purchase these at the same time as you purchase your ticket.


    What does it cost to attend? The cost to attend the rally is $380 for each rig. This includes up to 2 adults and any minor children under the age of 18. Each additional adult staying in the rig is an additional $100. The fee includes 6 nights of camping, and helps to cover four dinners and four breakfasts, Tuesday through Friday.


    How do we register to attend the Rally? The registration link is https://gdrvnationalrally2020.eventbrite.com
    and will go live on Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 1 p.m. (EST)

    How can I volunteer to help at the Rally? Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Rally. We have a lot of jobs that

    need to be done during the event. Returning attendees may sign-up during registration and choose your area of interest when you register.


    How can I get Full Hook ups? If you Google, “FHU” you will find that it is defined as “camping at an RV park or campground with hookups to fresh water, electric, and sewer (gray and black water disposal)”. All of the sites at the fairground provide you with these amenities with a couple of differences:
    Some of the sites only have 30 amp electric and water available. These sites come with free tags for a
    “honey wagon”. What is a Honey Wagon? Well, that is a septic company that comes and empties your
    tanks for you. You put out your pass, they come by, remove your caps, pull the handles and away they
    go. You can save those rubber gloves for your next trip!


    If you are concerned that you have a 50 amp rig and are not able to camp on 30 amp, take time to
    view the educational video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBk_...ature=youtu.be .
    The video explains the ins and outs of living on 30 amp power in a 50 amp rig.


    How do I know what kind of site I’m signing up for? When you register you will purchase a ticket for the area
    where you would like to camp. The specific site in the area is assigned when you arrive at the fairgrounds.
    Each area has a description of what is offered, i.e. electrical (50 amp, 30 amp, or both), water, sewage
    availability (either at rig or honey wagon) AND the size limitation for each area.
    Much like a concert there are a limited number of tickets for each area, and when they are gone,
    they're gone, and you have to pick a different area. See Addendum A for the fairground map and the
    descriptions of each area.

    Is there a WAITLIST for the sites that have 50amp electric? No. Once registration begins and the 50amp sites are gone, the only way to get one, is to check Eventbrite to see if someone has cancelled and there is a site open. (If you want to switch sites at this point, you will incur the 10% Eventbrite service charges to do so).

    Is there a wait list if the rally gets totally booked? A waitlist will be started if ALL of the sites for the rally are booked, and even at that time it will not be area specific.


    Is “group parking” available? Yes, you must chose the same camping area during registration, arrive together and be in line together (one after the other). Groups must send an email with the subject line “Group Parking” to [email protected]. The email should contain the number of rigs in your group, the names of those in the group, the camping area that was purchased and the date of arrival.


    How are sites assigned in each area? Parking and assigning of sites (within YOUR chosen area) is done “rally style” (also known as “hobo style”). “Rally style” parking means that the parking crew assigns each rig a site as they arrive. There will be a large number of rigs arriving in a short amount of time, and rally style parking allows us to get everyone in a site as quickly as possible.


    Is there a handicap parking area? Yes, there is handicap RV parking available to registrants possessing and
    displaying a valid state-issued handicap permit, on a first-come first-served basis. There is limited amount of handicap parking available. Please purchase a ticket for a handicap area and provide your handicap permit number during registration for handicap parking.


    What is Craft Row? New this year is the opportunity for owners to sell their craft from their rig. If you want
    the opportunity for more exposure than the 3-4 hrs offered during “Show & Sell”, then you might consider
    parking in this area, where you can see sell items/crafts outdoors from your rig at your convenience.


    How much electric cord, sewer hose and water hose is necessary to reach the services at the fairgrounds?
    40ft of sewer hose, 50ft of water hose and 60-65ft of power cord is required for most sites. While there are RV supplies available in Goshen we are following another large rally and supplies may be limited.
    Are power adapters needed? Depending upon your rig and the ticket that you purchased, you may need a
    50amp to 30amp power adapter. Please read the area descriptions carefully as some sites only have 50amp and in this case you may need a 30amp to 50amp adapter, if you have a 30amp rig.


    Where and how do we receive our name badges, agenda and welcome bags? Upon arrival and after your rig
    is parked, your first job will be to visit the on-site check-in and exchange your E-Ticket AND Parking Designator for your name badge, agenda and welcome bag.


    What is the “E-ticket”? The E-ticket is the receipt from Eventbrite and proof of registration for admission
    upon arrival at fairgrounds. Please print or have it on your phone screen for presentation to the parking
    greeters when you arrive.


    What is the “Parking Designator”? The Parking Designator is given to you by a Parking Team member once
    you are parked at the fairground. It will have your name, camping area, and your site # on it. If you do not
    bring this with you to on-site check-in, you will have to go back to your rig to retrieve before proceeding.


    Are children and grandchildren welcome? Absolutely, children are always welcome at GDRV events. New this year is Camp GDRV. Each day children will be able to participate in planned activities. Watch for the Camp GDRV kids’ newsletter in pre-rally communications.

    to be continued...............

    What is the pet policy? All buildings at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds are pet-free (with the exception of
    certified service animals in working mode). If your pet is outside, it must be in a carrier, restrained in an
    appropriate manner and on a short (8-foot or less) leash if being exercised. Please remember to pick up after
    your pet(s) and dispose of waste properly. Expect the pet policy to be strictly enforced.

    If you are having GDRV

    service done inside of your RV, the pet must be crated or removed for the safety of the technicians, as well as
    to prevent your pet from accidentally escaping from the unit.


    How many meals are included in the rally fee? The Rally fee helps to cover four dinners and four breakfasts,
    Tuesday through Friday.


    Do you have meals for special diets – allergies, gluten-free, etc.? Unfortunately, in serving nearly 10,000
    meals during the week, we are not able to survey for individual diet needs and prepare special menus.
    Do you have reduced-price reservations if we don’t want to have the meals? No, the volume of people and
    the need to create meal tickets and monitor who does and does not have them is simply not practical. We
    require that you wear your Rally name badge, which is your ticket to all meals and activities except tours,
    which require a ticket. Sometimes other public events are being held at the fair grounds and we need to
    monitor that only GDRV attendees go through the food line.

    Is alcohol allowed at the Rally? Alcohol is not sold or provided at any of the events. However, if you are of
    legal age and are behaving responsibly and courteously, you may have alcohol to consume at your site, or to
    take to another campsite for consumption. You may also bring wine or another beverage to dinner, and
    evening programs.


    May I bring my scooter, bike, golf cart or Segway? Yes, this is highly recommended as vehicle parking is very
    limited and not available near event buildings. ATV/UTVs may NOT be operated on fairground property.
    Will there be courtesy transportation available between the buildings and campground? Yes, transportation
    will be available from Sunday noon to Friday evening. Monday through Friday hours: 7AM to 7PM – Watch for
    the 6 six seater golf shuttles (we call them “Gubers”) running throughout the grounds.


    Am I able to rent a golf cart? Yes, there are a limited number of golf carts available for rent. The cost is $180
    for the week and must be reserved and paid for through Eventbrite.


    What happens if I have to cancel? We understand that people’s schedules change for a variety of reasons,
    many out of their control. As a result, we have instituted the following cancellation policy:
    Before July 1, the cancellation fee is 10% of registration, tour and golf cart fees.
    From July 1 through July 31, cancellation fee is 20% of registration, tour and golf cart fees.
    On or after August 1, there are no refunds.


    How do we register for optional tours at the Rally? You can register for the optional tours when you register
    for the Rally itself. You can also come back and register for tours later IF THEY’RE STILL AVAILABLE. There is an
    additional charge for the optional tours. All optional tours include bus transportation, all admission fees and
    tips, and any meals as shown in the tour description. There will be a standby list for the optional tours. See
    Addendum B for tour details.
    If I have tickets for an optional tour and decide not to go, can I get a refund or sell my tickets? We are not
    able to refund your tickets on optional tours at the event. Near the Rally Host Table there will be a bulletin
    board where you may post that you are trying to sell or buy tickets for a tour. The transaction is strictly
    between the seller and the buyer. Prior to the event, the cancellation policy will apply.


    How do we register for factory tours? Is there a charge? Tickets for factory tours will be available during on-
    site check-in at the fairgrounds. There is no charge for factory tours. Bus transportation is provided.


    Is there a rally agenda available? See Addendum C for the rally agenda. Please remember, the agenda is
    subject to change up until the time of the rally.


    When does rally parking begin? Rally parking is Sunday and Monday from 9a-5p. The rally’s opening ceremony
    is on Tuesday, September 1 at 9am.


    Can we arrive before Sunday? How do we make reservations? There is a rally before GDRV’s and the grounds
    need to be mowed. No arrivals will be permitted prior to Wednesday, August 26. To make a reservation for
    arrival between Wednesday and Saturday, August 26-29, please call the Fairgrounds at (574) 533-3247. You
    will make payment directly to the Fairgrounds for these early nights. When you arrive, please check-in at the
    Fairground’s office and they will call the Parking Crew who will direct you to the area that you selected for the
    rally. Arriving early DOES NOT change the area that you have selected for rally parking. The pre-rally parking
    crew is available from 10am-4pm, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. If you park yourself outside of these
    hours, YOU WILL NEED TO BE REPARKED IN THE CORRECT AREA AND SITE WHEN THE CREW COMES BACK ON
    DUTY. Thank you in advance for your understanding.


    Can we stay following the Rally? Yes, BUT because there is a rally immediately following ours, if you choose to
    stay over the holiday weekend you will have to relocate to AREA G (if you are not already in this area) AND you
    will only be permitted to stay until Monday, September 7. Please check with the Fairgrounds for availability
    while at the rally. You will make payment directly to the Fairgrounds for extra nights.


    Do I have to sign up for crafts before the rally? (See Addendum D for pictures) The cost to make the Amish
    tile is $25 and MUST be paid for on Eventbrite before the rally. During on-site check-in, you have the
    opportunity to sign up for additional crafts. Some of the additional crafts may have a small fee to cover
    supplies.


    Do I have to sign up for seminars before the rally? Sign-up for seminars will take place during on-site check-
    in. Seminars are open to all attendees but may be limited to available seating.


    May I attend the Rally in an RV that wasn’t built by Grand Design? No. Rally attendees MUST be in an RV
    built by Grand Design.


    Is it true Grand Design will work on my rig at the rally? Yes. GDRV service technicians are on-site during the
    rally but they DO NOT DROP UNDERBELLIES and they DO NOT DO MAJOR repairs (as in pull slides or change
    front caps, etc.) Additionally, there are a number of OEM vendors also attending the rally, however, they only
    take requests for units that are still within their specific warranty parameters. This can be located in the
    owner’s manual, the vendor black bag, and/or the vendor’s web site. During registration, you will have an
    opportunity to request THREE repairs. Changes to your requests are not allowed after July 15. The only
    exception of course are emergency repairs and recalls.


    and still more..........................

    Is there a dump station available? Yes. The fairgrounds has a dump station. The location will be noted on the
