This years 2025 Nat. Rally

Looking over this year’s schedule and I don’t see seminars on components ie; what’s new, how to fix, RV support stuff like a repair network, connectivity or insurance. I do see vendors tents and locations but who is going to be there?
Is the National Rally primarily group tours and new equipment on display?

The seminar schedule is still in process. There was a request for presenters on the Grand Design Tech Forum this week

A few vendors have done seminars in the past but most seminars have been done by owners in the past. You'll get a seminar about insurance to get you home in an emergency. Very similar to the trip protection you get by being an FMCA member.

We haven't done a rally in the last 2or3 years. After volunteering for 9 or 10 it was time for a break. Maybe we'll go again as non volunteers next year

If the past is any indication, there'll be plenty of seminars. Many are done by vendors touting their products. But there are also owner-to-owner seminars as well as Lippert, Grand Design and other component suppliers. You could end up spending the week in a classroom depending on your interests or needs. It also happens that there could be conflicting seminars on some days where you'd like to sit in on both topics.
You'll have fun, I think this is our tenth rally. We keep going back because it is a good time and we always end up learning something new or refreshing something we may have forgotten.

If you have any ideas for seminars or a topic you particularly feel needs to be covered, Why don't you post it here. There are folks here that are also on the Grand Design Tech Forum that can share those topics to see if they can be added.

50ST8R; I have attended two Rallies and found the first one in Central Florida to be crazy informative so much so we signed up with MASA, sold on MORyde suspension components and Gabe’s Pride products. The second was the Route 66 and found it to be somewhat less informative granted it was there first and for the Techs it was a drive by offering no support.
Neither Rally had a published agenda until arrival. I cannot imagine what it takes to organize a National Rally so at risk of sounding critical, I was interested in who and what was going to be presented before registering for an event of this size.

Since I did not register this year I guess it’s a moot point for now. Thanks to all that responded!
