2013 Winnebago Grand National Rally! (July 21-26)

I actually wonder if there will be 50 amp sites. All the former 50 amp sites have been removed for renovating. The only ones in place two weeks ago were for vender row. When I renewed my WIT membership in the office she mentioned that a lot would not get done by GNR.

Don't know John - they are still listing "limited number of 50 amp sites", but limited could mean three  .

I just spoke to a young lady when I made my reservations, andbshebtold mevalltheb50 amp were full, and they opened a new area by section C . She gave me one of those. 

Hope this helps.

Jim - they opened up a new section of 50 amp sites?  Your post is a little confusing to me.

John;

Lisa from Winny called me on Friday to get my credit card number so I could get registered.  She informed me that the two sections that I requested (50 amp) were full, but they opened another section to 50 amps. I guess maybe a row? I don't know; when I asked her where it was she said in the C section. 

I'll just wait and see. She was really nice and very helpful. Even transferring me over to service.

Do not get any paper work till we get to gate.

Glad you got 50 amps!

 

[John Hilley]

That makes sense as all the new pedestals they are installing are 50 amp only. When I was there, I had to loan my 50 amp to 30 amp adapter to a couple from Winnipeg so that they could plug in.

John;
We were not going to GNR but since we need a repair on our slide and wanted to get it done at HWH we decided to do GNR. It's our first time. Just got confirmation email for Section B-3, 50Amp. Is the "3" in "B-3" the row number? Glad we got a 50 but if we had to do 30A we could do it. We wanted 50A just in case of a heat wave. Hope to meet you after readign your posts for almost 2 years since we got our 2004 Vectra. the new WIFI sounds great!

We only go to the GNR about every other year, so we'll miss you guys this time.  You'll have a blast there!!

Any idea what companies are going to be at the rally?

Jim

 

[John Canfield]

Jim - probably the usual's, i.e., the vendors to Winnebago Industries:  MCD, RVP, SureFlo, Dometic, Winegard, etc. and a few other miscellaneous businesses. Winnie will not allow a competitor to one of their suppliers have a booth.

too bad but I'm sure we will meet there someday

There is usually a list of vendors on the web site for the GNR.

 

[John Hilley]

Velvac, Dometic, HWH, OnaN, Freightliner, Ford, ShurFlo, Winegard, the Winnebago solar panel supplier, Roadmaster, Coachnet and a few other suppliers. There are also vendors selling clothing, jewelry and WiFi products are the usual.

I called about a golf cart because I did not want to bring my own; and was absolutely flabergasted at the price.  It came to over $58/day.  I can rent a car cheaper than that.  Is that normal?  What do you pay at other rallys?

 

[John Canfield]

We've never rented one, so can't help you there.
