Rally Highlights:

Our Mothership will land at the rally: We are thrilled to welcome Ron Preston, Sales Manager of our Mothership, Midwest Automotive Designs, and his amazing team, who will be joining us at the rally! Ron will be on hand to share insights, answer questions, and give us an exclusive look into the exciting developments and future plans for the 2025/2026 models and the latest news from our Mothership. One of the most impressive things about Midwest Automotive is their commitment to listening to owner feedback and continuously improving their RV models. Midwest takes the time to understand the needs, preferences, and suggestions of their owners, recognizing that real-life experiences from those who live the RV lifestyle are invaluable. This feedback directly influences design adjustments, feature upgrades, and even entirely new options in their models. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Our Sponsor: We are also super excited to announce that Nick Schmidt and his team from Sunshine State RVs (the largest class B dealer in Florida) will be our rally sponsor once again and will host our welcome dinner on March 27th! Nick and Sunshine State RVs will showcase the latest Midwest models! Don’t miss this chance to see what’s new in RV technology and design! Both Ron and Nick will lead a special session discussing the new Midwest Automotive model options and upgrades, giving us an inside look at the cutting-edge features, designs, and customizations available in the newest years’ models.

Repairs: Attendance at the rally will also give owners an opportunity to have any RV warranty repair work done by the Midwest Automotive Designs technicians who will attend the rally! This is a generous“perk” oƯered by Midwest that no other manufacturer ever does for their owners! Each participant will receive a Repair Sheet upon their registration to complete for Midwest, listing the issues they would like addressed by Midwest. This Repair Sheet will be provided to Midwest early for review so that they can determine any parts needed and if the repair may be addressed during rally time. Activities for Everyone: There will be activities for all interests. Plus, we’ll have a special group excursion oƯ-premises one day to explore a local wonder—details coming soon!
