This is Jay Cauble, Redwood Owners Group (ROG) Director and Rally Coordinator, and I'm part of the team putting the 2016 Redwood Rally together for Redwood. The team is in the process of finalizing the complete rally schedule. We'll be posting the final event timeline after the first of February on the ROG Forum and the Redwood home page. We'll have an automated form for all to complete for registration which will be sent directly to me from the website. An event schedule will also be posted on these sites. Until final approval has been provided by Redwood, we're holding off providing the final details. We're looking forward to having a fantastic event for all to enjoy.
A couple of items I can tell you for sure is the basic rally dates are 4 - 6 August 2016 and departing 7 August 2016 at the Shipshewana South RV Park. Their phone number is 260-768-4669. You must make your RV reservations through the campground. This campground is currently closed and scheduled to reopen full time after the 15th of April. I talked with Cindy at Shipshewana South RV Park and she informed me that the office will be manned on Monday and Wednesdays from 10 – 4. As this is a group rally, you have to call in to make reservations and cannot make them through their online system. If you have made online reservations, please call the campground so that they may update your information. If you call other days, you may leave a message and they will return your call in the order it is received. Just a tidbit, if you have the time, the campground has a special of pay for 6 days and get the 7th day free. The campground takes all standard credit cards except for American express. We ask that you be patient with them and they will get back in touch.
Just a note, sites will be assigned as you arrive at the campground. If you want to be parked beside someone, you must arrive as a group together.
One of the most asked questions concerning is “will Redwood be offering minor repair items at this rally? I am pleased to announce that “YES” they will and we’re in the process of working out factory upgrades at rally prices that will additionally be offered to Redwood owners. This offering will be completed from 8 – 17 August 2016! The grand announcement will be in the rally release after the first of February 2016! We’re in the process of working out the final available upgrades and costs to an owner that chooses to have their rig updated!
We'll be having an owner’s RV maintenance course taught by Terry Cooper, Texas RV Professor, beginning 2-4 August and a second class on 8 -10 August 2016. The cost of the course is $ 296.00 for ROG non members. The cost for a paid ROG member will be $ 271.00. I'm personally attending the course and highly recommend it. The course teaches many aspects of the Redwood 5th wheel coach which will enable you to accomplish preventative maintenance and help to reduce your expenses.
The two web addresses are ROG, www.redwoodrvowners.com and Redwood, www.redwood-rv.com. Look forward to meeting you at the Rally! If you have any further question, please feel free to contact me at 931-205-0744 or usaf1949@yahoo.com.
Thanks for the update. We attended the 2015 Rally and had a great time. The minor maintenance provided by the RW Tech's was outstanding...glad they will be providing it again at this year's Rally. Looking forward to the update on upgrades that will be offered! If you haven't attended a Rally yet, I highly recommend you try to work it into your schedule. It's well worth your time for the fellowship, fun, food, and useful RV'ing information!
I agree, we attended our first Redwood Rally last year, we had a great time, learned a lot and met a bunch of great people !!!
We will be back again this year 🙂
How and when do I sign up for the RV maintenance course? When do I pay for this course?
Another question is...When do I sign up for the Rally?
This should be available within the next two weeks. Waiting for a couple of updates from Redwood and Lippert. We're ready to go, just want to ensure that the accurate info is posted the first time. Thanks for your patience.
Good morning everyone! Just to keep everyone in the loop and know where we're at with the National Rally for 2016!!
