We attended the FROG rally at the same fairgrounds last year. We enjoyed being able to connect directly with the Riverstone team, get some issues fixed while we were there (they limit the number of issues to 2 since there are so many RVs). What we loved connecting with folks that have the same model as we have and tour their units to see how they have modified. It was also awesome that the marketing team was onsite to hear from the owners on changes they would like to see. As you said, community of brand which is different from Huddles where folks have many different brands and it is RVlife that connects us.
I decided to be a new subscriber as soon as I saw Todd on the Onewheel. 🙂 Rider as well, but haven't taken it with us camping...guessing that will change now. Thanx for sharing the rally!
We ❤ going to the rallies 😊 If you can’t make it into the National rally, consider going to one of the regional ones. They do not offer the 3 items to be repaired BUT they do have service techs and representatives from Grand Design at every one. They will check your VIN for warranty issues when you check in and those people will get the techs attention first. If they have time after that, they will come around and do some smaller repairs 😊 Great video guys! I’m glad we got to see you while you were there 🤗🤗🤗
Hi, I am Joe. I just now started following you guys. I think you guys are very funny and good people to follow. Special him. He has a fun way to say things. Enjoy your traveling across the America
Welcome to my hometown, Goshen!! Hope you found some neat stuff and Shipshewana wasn't too busy Labor Day weekend. I was by there last year but Sister wouldn't let me go to the fairgrounds!! Home sweet home.
Your comment about “your RV will get damage and you are responsible” is spot on. We just spent a week in the northern New Mexico mountains. The stay was great, but eastern New Mexico roads are not. One 50 mile stretch was dotted with bumps followed by skid marks. This time, it cost me two window shades. Three years ago, it disconnected my couch from the floor. Never again. That is my responsibility.
You make a very good point about having a community with people with all different RV's. I love the idea of your huddles to be able to be a part of your community. ❤
Thanks for taking us inside the grand design rally. I’m glad the huddles are structured the way they are, and so glad to be a part of that. It looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks.
It was nice to see you folks at the national rally and talk with you briefly there, as well as at the blue gate restaurant when we saw each other again for lunch. Keep up the good work! Safe travels!
Didn't know Border Hookups were there. You must be ahead of them on videos. Fun! Forgot to mention, my cousin "calls" the harness races and his brother trains the horses. The Cross brothers
26:40 I got my tickets within 60 seconds of them being available. I turned in my list of what I needed done. It was the pull handle for the black tank. They gave me the parts and basically said good luck. My next door neighbor got a new kitchen flooring, a new toilet, and a few other things. All of his work was completed by the techs. So you weren't missing out on anything.
We actually attended a local Grand Design rally as guests with our friends who own one. It was really great! They had swag bags, pot luck, seminars, a silent auction benefiting the Honor Flag and a raffle! (I actually won the raffle). Our friends were able to get repairs done as did many others. Good job Grand Design!
We went to the GD Rally in Cashmere,WA this July. I agree with you guys - it was so absolutely worth it. GD was impressive - their tech helped us, we learned how to clean ourair con - flush and take better care of out black tanks...and we met great people!!'
The idea of it seems nice, but those lines go on forever... we're a family of 3 with special needs in our family so crouds to this degree wouldn't work for us. I have stuff to get replaced like everyone, but at this point if I could just get a set of stairs. I gave up and tried to just order a new set myself... their $800 but they wanted extra $400 for shipping.... I just gave up. Maybe they can develop a system that when folks request tickets they offer the ones who've never been first so they can have a chance. It's a tall order to organize something so large.
We would love to go.....but our computer is not fast enough to buy/get tickets. By the time we got into the system, 250 were on the wait list. And no, we are not going to drive 2000 miles to wait outside the gate to see if they let us in. Glad you all had a good time.
It is great to see they are putting a rally together a rally for you guys. We had a bit over 1200 Airstreams at our International Rally this past June. It was a great rally!
so you were there for free service? and have been touring other brands like New Horizons and Spacecraft.. Doesn't seem you have any brand loyalty. just saying
We are a RV UA-cam Channel where does it state we must have brand loyalty. Grand Design doesn't pay us for anything. We think of those starting their journey and are looking for their options.
Love your channel but Grand Design, not so much. I had a new 2019 Grand Design, Reflection in 2018. It was a lemon. It had long list of problems and GD would not assist with all the problems we had. It seems GD panders to owners with social media following and ignores other owners that don't have social media channels. I sold it 3 years later and got a new 2022 Newmar, London Aire. Couldn't be happier. Customer service is night and day difference. Don't mean to rain on your show/channel but the Grand Design experience was so horrible, I just needed to unload and call them out. Hope you enjoyed your time at the rally.
Great recap of the GDRV Rally!!! Nice meeting you there!
I like that you gave the positives and negatives of the national rally. Gave me a good view of the rally I have yet to experience. Well done!
Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing

Two-way radios when you leave base would be a handy addition.
Great video. We are Flagstaff owners and look forward to going to a rally sometime.
Thanks for the video. I am thinking of buying a Grand Design next year. Their good customer service ratings encouraged me to look at their trailers.
Hi, I am Joe.
I just now started following you guys. I think you guys are very funny and good people to follow.
Special him.
He has a fun way to say things.
Enjoy your traveling across the America
Welcome aboard! Joe we are happy to have you in the journey with us!
FYI there’s a recall on all one-wheels .
I must know - where are you with your final "comments" with the water view. 🤨 It looks beautiful!
Welcome to my hometown, Goshen!! Hope you found some neat stuff and Shipshewana wasn't too busy Labor Day weekend. I was by there last year but Sister wouldn't let me go to the fairgrounds!! Home sweet home.

Nice to meet you at MoRryde, we weren’t invited to the rally. Yes the independent Suspension is worth it
I was in the infield for the Alliance Rally this year. How did you like the dust?
Thankfully the wind wasn’t too bad while we were there - lucky week for us!
C4YT = Safe Travels 🍀🍀🍀
We went to the FROG rally 2 weeks prior. They have a good rally as well

Hopefully we can get in next year. Thanks for the review 💚💚💚
Great meeting you guys at the rally. See you at the Georgia huddle!
Different video. Sounds like you had fun there but not the best experience. Never been to one and not my brand. Thanks From Wisconsin
The GD rally is the best!
Hi from the Bimber's
Commenting to help boost your exposure:)
We actually attended a local Grand Design rally as guests with our friends who own one. It was really great! They had swag bags, pot luck, seminars, a silent auction benefiting the Honor Flag and a raffle! (I actually won the raffle). Our friends were able to get repairs done as did many others. Good job Grand Design!
Look at all the recalled Lectric 3.0 bikes like ours. Looking forward to the Talona ice cream bar Shelia :). Hope you took good notes.
We have a 3.0 Lectric bike. What are they being recalled for? We did not know about the recall.
Brake issues.

@lifererouted sighting!
Looks like a good time
Rally looks fun but I bet they don't have shotguns and white water rafts !
Rally looks fun and busy. 1st leg to Georgia in the books. Made it to Memphis. Switch it Up!
I like you both but I would never buy or own a Grand Design after hearing all the stuff that happens to them (bad)
It was our second national rally. Wish we could have chatted more.
Hey that was me on the golf cart.
Great job

We are going to try to make it next year. Looking forward to the Georgia Huddle. We are headed there tomorrow!
I LOVE ice cream!!! 😛
Todd... you feeling okay... sounding a little nasal???
It was a pleasure to meet you guys! We had a blast hanging out and for the one wheel lessons! If you’re ever down in Texas, we would love to meet up!
We went last year. We had a great time. We do prefer the huddles to the rally because you have more inclusion and a tight knit community.
How many people were at this rally? (Or how many rv’s?) 🍻
613 rigs
D.O.A.T.T
It is great to see they are putting a rally together a rally for you guys. We had a bit over 1200 Airstreams at our International Rally this past June. It was a great rally!
