Being new to the RV lifestyle, we had reserved a place at this RV Rally before we ever hit the road. We were hoping to meet others who lived this lifestyle also and vendors who could help us solve problems we discovered on this first trek.

We arrived at the San Antonio KOA a few days before the rally began and hoped to resolve a few issues but rain put a damper on some of the work. We did get the satellite TV looked at by a certified tech but weren’t able to install the new digital TV antenna that we needed to replace after racking the original one off the top of the camper somewhere along the way.

Once the Rally started, we attended some informative classes, the one lead by a RV owner who had his truck catch fire while traveling down the highway and burned it and the trailer, everything was lost. We also attended a class hosted by the trailer manufacturers lead technicians about issues and repairs. There was also a session on modification others had made to their rigs, and time afterwards to go look if you wanted to dig deeper and an Instapot demo. I meet Paul who had installed solar on his rig and he was very willing to share everything he had done and even willing to help me install a system on my rig if we are in the same area! Evening they had every flavor of moonshine you could imagine (surprising the dill pickle was good) and visiting by the fire was the best.

Meeting people is by far the most beneficial part of these events. We meet the solar guy Paul and his wife Vickie and discussed going to Alaska with them in 2020. We also were lucky to be parked next to another full-time couple, Tony and Robin who really enjoyed sharing ideas with, and Barbara and Dan who stopped by our fire pit and spent the evening.
