Description

2022 Grand Design RV National Rally Please familiarize yourself with the registration process - FAQ's, pre-registration checklist, and more at https://www.gdrvnationalrally.com/registration A Personal Note from the Wagonmasters: The registration process for this year has been changed due to feedback from previous years. The hard truth is that there are substantially more people interested in attending than there are sites available. We have broken up the process to limit the amount of information you will need to have to purchase your ticket, and made self service options available for getting additional tickets (guests, service requests, activities) available AFTER your primary registration. This is a careful balance between the minimum amount of information we need to make sure we have a smooth-flowing event and speeding folks through the process. Part of this balancing act, and an important one, is how much time you get to complete your registration. When you start your registration, you will have a set amount of time to complete the process. There will be counter on your screen that shows you how much time is left. During this time, your ticket is held - meaning that anyone else who attempts to get a ticket will only see tickets that are still available - however, if you do not complete in that set time period, you will lose hold on that ticket, and will have to start over from the beginning. We will NOT be using PayPal to process the backend payments this year, so you will not have to worry about that issue. Note - you can still use Paypal to pay for your tickets. We have been asked multiple times why we don't add more fairground sites to make the event more accessible. The unfortunate reality is we are limited by infrastructure (power, water, etc), and in terms of staff and volunteers. Going from 600 -> 660 is not simply the addition of 10% more work, it is exponential and likely requires 30% more resources. Frankly, bigger is not always better, and the current size is likely to remain in place until we can ensure that scaling larger will come with the quality you have come to expect. We are here to make this an enjoyable experience, and are working to improve in as many ways as possible. Being a new team this year, we are taking the extensive experience of the volunteer and Grand Design teams and combining it with our experience that has made us successful in the Mid-Atlantic rally for the last 7 years. Hopefully, this combination will give us the ability to make substantial improvements over time. Lastly, please remember that the wagon master and organizing team are all volunteers. We all have regular day jobs, and we donate our time and experience to these events to make them enjoyable for all. We strive to make the process as easy to navigate as possible, while balancing that with the need to make sure we capture the necessary information to have a enjoyable event for all. Sincerely, Your 2022 Wagonmaster Team
