Meeting Fellow Forum Members at 2022 National Rally
My wife & I are attending the National Rally in Elkhart. It’s our first rally & we would like to meet fellow Forum members. Does anyone know if our name badges will have our Forum User names and or if there are other ways to meet fellow members?
In addition, as I mentioned, it’s our first rally although we’ve been rv owners for almost 18 years traveling about 4 to 6 months a year. What should we prioritize to do during the rally? Are there hands on seminars that will teach me more about my rig? I want to learn more about maintaining Swinteck slides & using my One Control system. I want to understand addressing error messages on the leveling system. And I want to find out more about troubleshooting issues with the powered theatre seats.
And I upgraded to a fairly large solar system & I would like to show others the system & share what I’ve learned & learn more from folks who know more than me.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Ray, when we were there in 2019 there were name tags but w/o the Forum name. That was something many of us had suggested to include but no go. It would be a helpful item, for sure. Some folks added Forum name to their personal name tags and the sign hanging on your RV.
There are many seminars covering many topics. GDRV folks/service team members will also be available to educate/fix/etc. items as may be needed.
Marcy and Gary @WhittleBurner are long time active National Rally volunteers who can share more. There are also new National Rally Wagonmasters this year, but I do not recall who.....Marcy will know.
Thanks, in advance Marcy and Gary !

As Dan mentioned, we have been to every rally for GD as volunteers. Forum names were done at the first rally. I see no reason why you could'nt write it on your tag or you just have to ask if any individual is on the mygrandrv forum. OR as it get closer we can create a where are you thread where people here attending could post their section and site after they are parked.
Lippert usually sets up right across from where we park (if we get the same spot) you will be able to pick their brains or talk about warranty issues or buy something new.
What to prioritize is such an individual thing, but think you just did so in mentioning Schwintek and One Comtrol. Both should be covered in a Lippert presentation. There was a solar session last year, I'm not sure what is being covered this time out, the new wagonmaster hasn't shared that with us as voulnteers yet. But there is still time for that to happen, lots of things to track as a wagonmaster. Another important thing to do is to patronize the vendors that appear at the rally, that is what keeps them coming back. I'll do a shameless plug for G&L rv specialties who full time, they are great people to do business with and have been vendors at our rally since the very first one.
Ask away if you have any more questions. Looking forward to meeting up at the rally!Marcy & Gary

We are going to the FMCA rally the week before the GD Rally. They just sent an email announcing that they will have a first-timers lounge... a place where first-timers and mentors can connect. Good idea!
This will be our first time also. I hope to meet some of you all.

There is a first timer orientation scheduled for the 29th at 3:00 followed by an ice cream social
If you haven't looked at the schedule yet, it is posted on the Rally web page
