After day one of the Rally, my first, I can honestly say I learned a ton about my RV, how to maintain it, when to maintain it, and how and what products are best to use on the RV. Ron (Titan guy) led off the day with a very informative seminar on tires and brakes, the rest rest of the days presenters followed suit. Looking forward to day 2.
Also, huge Kudo's to Gary, and Mike, and Randy for the fixes in the RV!!!
Very glad we made the trip to Shipshewana to take part in the rally
I agree totally. Time and money well spent. Thanks to all who dedicated their time to make this work. Also, thanks to the Sponsors who are going above and beyond.
We agree. We are also here at the rally for the first time. So much helpful information. The techs from Redwood & Lippert are great. Really glad we made the trip

Stan, thank you!
I note that there is a RW just down from us (we are in 93) that just had his bad pin box replaced, the old pin box is on the ground waiting to be taken away. You may want to talk to the owners about their experience.

Being our first Redwood Rally, I am just amazed.
From the topics, speakers, leadership to having things fixed by Crossroads to Lippert.
I never would have expected this.
Kudos to everyone involved so I don't miss anyone. A huge Thank You.
Proud to have made the right RV decision.
It sounds like I am missing a FANTASTIC rally ! ! 🙁

I echo those statements. The Redwood tech and Lippert tech support and response to fixing things is almost overwhelming. At times Lippert has had four and five trucks buzzing around the campground and they're busy all the time. Just an awesome rally. This is the first one since 2014 we've been to and what a difference.
Wow, we sure are glad we decided to come to the Rally even though we couldn't bring our RV!! We have learned a lot about our Redwood and all the GREAT people in this group. Lisa and George did a fantastic job putting things together. I am still amazed how all the different reps from all the manufacturers worked with everyone on fixing and solving issues..., Even though we couldn't bring our rig we still are getting all the things done to it we wanted with the Rally specials and some warranty issues as well! Unreal! Who does that?!! So glad we decided to buy our Redwood.
Sitting here in dull, overcast and soggy UK, we are missing not only an exceptional rally, but also the Shipshewana sunshine, based on a couple of photographs I've seen so far..
Will definitely be making the trek from the West Coast next year.
Thanks to Vaughan, Lisa, Al, Ken & others for all the great work in making this happen.
Well its Saturday morning, the final day of the rally. It has been a wonderful rally. Randy and his crew were everywhere fixing everything they could. Lippert stepped up their game too working into the night repairing and tweaking all their equipment too. Mor-ryde was also there providing upgrades to our homes along with Ron from Titan upgrading disc brakes. Lisa and George and Ken did an outstanding job organizing this rally as one of the best. The session with Redwood was interesting due to the new format with sending in questions through Lisa. It wasn't a bitch session. Good job there. The meals were great and the music on Friday night was entertaining. Great job Lisa!
So wish we could have been there. Sounds like the rally was great. Our renovations (new sun room) are finally concluding. The heat wave has been brutal on the workers. We are planning on attending next year's rally for sure. A hearty thanks to all the rally organizers that worked so hard in pulling off another super national Redwood rally.
I wanted to take a few minutes and thank heartily Lisa, George and Ken for carrying on what I started and from all indications pulling off a great Rally. When I told Andy in November I would do the Rally Chair I didn't expect our life to become so hectic that we couldn't make it. Lisa had been helping me and then it just became almost all hers.
I'm happy to hear that a more relaxed format was well received and also happy to hear that the food was good (big gamble there although the GM of the Catering company is a personal friend).
The idea of a more informal "Roundtable Session" for the different topics was one I formulated after last year. Last years Rally was great, and had lots going on, but by the second day you were whupped.
To all our friends and everyone that attended, please travel safe and I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon. Miss you all.
I'm so happy that everyone had a great time !!
Hard to believe it's Saturday afternoon and the Rally is coming to a close. This is our 4th Rally, and once again a "home run"! We've been able to renew some old friendships, and at the same time able to meet some wonderful folks who have become new friends. We too would like to thank all participants, vendors, Redwood, and especially all of the volunteers who made this year's Rally a successful event!
We are already making plans to attend next year. Wishing everyone safe travels until we meet again!

So the Rally is done, and although I'm overloaded with information, I'm absolutely better equipped to enjoy and relish this lifestyle...couple of things about the full Rally
1) liked the informal, yet structured seminars
2) topics were spot-on, although would like to suggest we try and get some info on generators next year.
3) catered food was good, not great, but certainly well received...keep
4) door prizes were awesome, thanks to all the vendors
5) Techs from Lippert, Redwood, MorRyde, G&L, and Titan were mindblowingly phantastic!
6) Friendships gained and renewed were awesome, plenty of time to socialize!
7) Pot-luck is a keeper!
8) The swap meet was a good chance to see some neat stufff...keep
9) factory visit and Redwood Exec's seminar extremely helpful to see the big picture. Liked the questions in advance.
10) heartfelt thanks to all those who volunteered, and worked so hard behind the scenes. ROG board is doing superb work for all of us, mucho thanks for all you do!
Glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like this year's was even better than last year's which would have been hard to top. Our goal is to make each one better than the last. Thanks so much to Vaughn, Tracy, Lisa , George, Ken, Al and everyone else that had a hand in this. Also a special thanks to Redwood, Lippert, Moreryde, Titan, Shipshewana Campground and all the other vendors that helped make this a sucsess. Hope to see all of you next year
