Goodsam rallys

I heard that Goodsam was not going to have any rallies this year. Is Goodsam enterprise in financial trouble?
  • The reason I heard was that they were taking this year to figure out how to continue Rallies because of how many people attend them and it makes it difficult to find venues to hold them at.
  • Go to http://therally.com/ and read why there are no rally's for 2014.

    I didn't notice it saying no rally's for 2014...just no announced next scheduled timeframe. I guess it could be end of 2014 or not until 2018.

    We've only done a day visit to the last one (Atlanta Motor Speedway) and it was very impressive!

    Also did the Atlanta one last year. Not impressed. Maybe that was because 90% of what was on show was class As, Bs, & Cs. Very few 5ers.

    Oh well. Met some nice people there.

    Why don't you post in the Dear Marcus forum and find out from Marcus himself?
  • I saw not long ago that a Good Sam Rally is scheduled in Shreveport, La. in April. Haven't seen or heard of cancellation.
  • The Good Sam Club has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, expanding to nearly 1.5 million members. Attendance at our Camping World/Good Sam Rallies has soared as well, limiting the number of locations that can host such a large RV gathering. To evaluate our options and search for the right locations to meet the growing number of members’ needs, we have elected to defer our decision on the next location and timing. RVers can look forward to bigger and better things from the world’s greatest RV rally, so stay tuned.

    For starters, we’re ramping up our daily seminar lineup with a full range of presentations covering all aspects of the RV experience. Look for more on-site activities and off-site tours, along with the kid-friendly youth program and more and better dining choices. Of course, we’ll also bring the best in big-name entertainment to the Rally stage each evening.

    The Camping World/Good Sam Rally has been North America’s largest RV event since 2000, attracting seasoned RVers and novices alike to immerse themselves in the RV lifestyle—meeting fellow enthusiasts, listening to industry experts and shopping for great deals on RVs and RV accessories.

    You won’t want to miss the next Camping World/Good Sam Rally. Keep checking the Rally website at www.TheRally.com for updates!

    OK, I stand corrected. The deal in Shreveport is not a rally just a Samboree. Sorry for any confusion caused.
  • Maybe if people weren't so busy making reality shows and saving other peoples businesses they would find the time to run theirs and put on the rallies that we were promised when we joined.
