On the Road

The largest RV rally held each year in the USA is coming to Albuquerque, NM April 17-20. Visitors to The Rally can check out the latest in recreational vehicles and accessories, enjoy live entertainment and participate in family friendly activities and educational seminars.

New to The Rally, which will celebrate its 10th year, are two eco-focused initiatives, providing RVers the opportunity to celebrate and explore Green RVing. Attendees will be able to tune into “Reality RV” to watch and learn as conservation expert Brian Brawdy is challenged to show how many resources can be conserved in an RV. Additionally, the inaugural “Going Green” ideas contest invites Rally participants to submit green ideas to make RVs more environmentally friendly.

Many charity events are planned. The Rally’s hosts will adopt the Rio Grande Community Farm in Albuquerque with a day of volunteer work planned for April 15. On April 18 and 19, The Rally will host dog and cat adoptions courtesy of Albuquerque Mayor, Martin Chavez. The Rally’s official charity is the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps (http://www.holeinthewallcamps.org/). Activities are planned to raise funds for the organization.

Rally-goers can learn more about the RV lifestyle by getting a close up look at the latest model RVs. Vehicles ranging from entry-level trailers to million-dollar motor homes will be available for test drives or immediate purchase. Additionally, The Rally’s indoor exhibit will showcase hundreds of travel products and the latest high-tech RV accessories and gadgets.
