First time RV Owner (2017 Road Warrior 427) and interested in attending the rally in Alto. Is there any space left and would we just need to call Toni to see if we can get a spot?

WOW! So great you will be joining us! Please send me your names so I can put it on our roster.

Looking forward to the rally. Just confirmed our reservations.
Any advice from the seasoned attendees on items that are a must to pack in besides coffee?

Mike & Kim, from what I hear you want to be sure and take your "ANTI-JOHND" Sun glasses. They will prevent you from getting sore eyes. You need to be careful cause I understand he runs around in a Yellow hardhat and cowboy chaps. Most cameras will not focus when pointed toward him I am told and the battery may even go dead. I think some of the other Heartlanders are trying to train him, but don't know how it's working.

Just go and have fun.

Garry gave me a similar warning but indicated Fireball is the mitigator.

Well,,Fireball is another way to be safe (?) when he is close,,, but if to much is used then navigation can be a problem I am told.

Evenings will / may still have a chill so be sure to have layering clothes/jackets. There is a casino we will be eating at on Friday, so if that is your thing, you may need cash, lol. I can't think of anything special needed, camera for the beautiful scenery. We were there last fall and our friends were watching Elk near the campgrounds!

Hey all,
Former Heartland Owner and still Technical moderator here on the forums. We had planned on being in this area during the rally and were invited by Jim Beletti to attend. We've left a voicemail with the RV park, so pending confirmation of our reservation, count us in attendance!

Looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone!
