Tell me about Newmar's Int'l Rallies

[Neemer]

What goes on there? I've read what they have on the website, but there isn't a lot of detail. What is a typical day like?

I'm going to guess that the majority are like what I've experienced at the Tampa RV Super Show/NKK rally. Lots of Newmars (in Tampa there were like 200 when we attended) Donuts and coffee most mornings, vendor presentations, Hoots gathering

I did one International and it was neat having nearly 500 Newmar coaches there. Beyond that I wasn't impressed, typical rally seminars, etc. The only rally I truly thought was worth it, of the few I attended, was the FMCA Perry, GA rally. A lot of vendors, good seminars by the bigger vendors such as Cummins, etc. I've done a few NKK, the FMCA, Quartzsite and the "big tent" which wasn't that great, etc. I think once you've been to a rally you've been to them all, the only thing about the NKK rallies are your like coach peers and great friends you know. Rallies and Caravan's are amazing and I wish I could do one a year, at least, caravans can get expensive. They are RV guided tours essentially.

2021 International in West Va. had quite a few "vendors" set up, Spartan & Freightliner had chassis' on display, & classes for owners. Also, Newmar had a new "training" 5th wheel trailer set up with various different systems, & classes for how things function, etc. Also had several outings, tours, golf , several meals, live entertainment too! 468 Newmar's at West Va. NIRVC had a complete lineup of 2021 Newmar's, & had a great meal with music (band)
2022 International will be in Rock Springs Wyoming, about 70 miles Northwest of Salt Lake City, Ut. Will be July 16th-23rd, 2022!

Newmar Caravan's are great! And like Neal said, RV guided tours! Pay up, Show up, have fun, & eat well too!

Thanks for the input. We are going to be in Wyoming and SD during July and thinking about taking in the rally. We have never been to one of any sort.

I think you would enjoy it. Getting to meet other Newmar owners from all across the country, & learning about Newmar's is interesting.
You have to be a member of "NKK", and then you must register for the International, or whatever Rally you choose to attend.
Below is a link to NKK. After you get on the site....."click" on Klub Kalendar & there's a dropdown to "click" for All Events. Any questions, call Linda at NKK, & she can help answer questions, as well as guide you through the process!
Oh, Newmar has a lot of the "Tech's" there to service coaches during the week. & at a reduced Labor rate too. A great service, & these guys are very efficient!
For me, it's going to be a much longer trip from Florida, than it was when we lived in Virginia in 2020!

What I enjoy is all the Newmar rigs (5ers, TT and ClassA) and walking through the rows and rows and talking to the owners, meeting new people. For some reason the 3 years we went to the Tampa Super show we were placed on the first row, 2 years in a row we were in the exact same spot. I would sit in front of our coach and watch all the millions of $$$ driving in - beautiful rigs. Then to find a rig older than mine is cool, especially when it still looks new.
