Winnebago is getting ready to renew a tradition dating back more than 50 years – and interrupted only by COVID-19 – when it hosts its annual Grand National Rally, a weeklong celebration of its owner community held at its headquarters in Forest City, Iowa.
The theme of this year’s festivities is “Driving Route 66,” a tribute to the famous highway “that serves as a symbol of our mobile nation on the road,” the company said. Throughout the event, guests can explore this year’s lineup of motorhomes and towables; participate in educational seminars; tour manufacturing facilities; receive RV service; meet Winnebago team members; experience the e-RV; and enjoy evening entertainment. This year’s event starts Sunday, July 17, and runs through the 21st.
“The Grand National Rally is an annual highlight for Winnebago and the company’s most enthusiastic owners,” said Winnebago Outdoors President Huw Bower. “It is extremely gratifying to bring together diverse groups of people who share a love of the outdoors and of RV travel in particular. We look forward to celebrating with this community, whose feedback, insights and support have inspired us to continuously improve and transform the way we build products, keeping us on the leading edge of technology, innovation and service.”
The company said this year’s rally will feature more than 550 RVs and more than 1,000 guests. There will also be more than 150 vendors on hand providing RV product and service information.
Attendees can also support Winnebago’s community service efforts by participating in an on-site blood drive and a rally-ground trail clean-up led by the Winnebago product and engineering teams.
