Rally or Caravan - or what are they? One of the joys of owning a motorhome is joining up with others with similar interests to learn and share ideas or to explore. Rallies and caravans serve this purpose.
A Rally is when a group of RV's or motorhomes gather in a special place for the express purpose of getting together. This can be a small group of friends, a local motorhome group, or a large convention with hundreds or thousands of motorhomes.
FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) hold two very large rallies each year alternating from East to West coast. This is an IDEAL place to go and learn from the industry leaders and suppliers. These rallies are ideal for the owners of Class A (large gasoline and diesel motorhomes), Class B (van conversion motorhome styles), and Class C (truck conversions). All three types are self contained vehicles with bath, kitchen, and sleeping accommodations.
Good Sam also holds two very large rallies but they cover all aspects of RVing - from tent campers, to trailers, 5th wheels. and motorhomes. For the motorhome owner, this is less satisfying because all the seminars are spread over the whole industry.
A Caravan is when a group of RV's get together and travel from one place to another together over a period of time. A caravan can be put together by a group of friends, clubs (usually manufacturer based), or by commercial tour groups which provide advanced planning for camping, meals, and touring.
