There are and have been a number of these regional rallies

@topgun2 I've read about (and would like to attend) the Texas Rally, but somehow I never heard of the Florida Rally. Is there a section of the forum (or the website) where these are featured? Since they seem largely organized by owners, I would think the forum is the better place (maybe I've just not discovered it yet).

Toni - 

 The Florida, the New England and the Texas rallies were organized by members/owners and all were mentioned here on the Forum.  However, primarily due to attendance restrictions (which, in turn, was due to campground availability) each of these rallies had limited availability and "advertisement".  It seems that the old saying - "build it and they will come" - certainly pertains to our rallies.  While the Texas and and New England rallies have been held each year for the past few years, the Florida rally was only held when Foy and Mirna had the time to devote to it (note here that in addition to hosting the Florida rally Foy and Mirna graciously provided everyone in attendance with the main entree for one night's dinner - Since I've not been able to attend either of the other two rallies I do not know the details).  I also know that Oliver has provided some "door prizes" and there have been other "sponsors" as well for each of these rallies.

Generally, announcements of these regional rallies would be found in the "Events & Rallies" section of the Forum.  

Hope this helps.

Sorry - I forgot about the Mid-West Rally that is taking place May 19th-May 23, 2027.

Obviously, I haven't poked around enough in this amazing Forum space!  Thanks Bill -- this is great.

In addition to the Oliver regional rallies, there are also fiberglass rallies with more and more Olivers in attendance. 

Here in Ohio, the Casitas of Ohio put on a spring kick-off fiberglass rally and a fall rally. This past spring there were five Oliver’s in attendance out of maybe 20-25 total trailers. 

The Florida Eggs n S’mores fiberglass rally in January had at least a dozen Oliver’s. Hungry Mother fiberglass rally in Western Virginia had five Olivers.  And there are similar rallies all over the country.

Steve, was it you who put the attendee list together with Site Locations last year for The Lake Guntersville Rally? If so, please add me. Hull 292, site E38 in The Range Rover, From Tampa Florida.

We have done the list the last three years. After talking to Scott Oliver and Matt last year, they were going to try to include that information with the welcome package. So no, I am not collecting details this year. 
 

Due to a scheduling conflict with a building project here at home, we have canceled our reservations. We’ll see you in Florida for Eggs n S’mores.

We happened to be camping at Stone Mountain SP NC a few weeks ago when the Carolina Casitas were having a gathering, they invited us to join their Facebook group, so we did! Nice group of folks.

Hope to attend Eggs on the Hiawassee River GA gathering held during June. They also have a Facebook group.

We attended a couple of Hungry Mother SP VA Fiberglass gatherings attended by various fiberglass owners including Ollie owners. If I remember correctly one of the Oliver owners attending had a hand in making Peach and Cherry cobblers, too! 🙂

Be a bit careful with your reservations for the Hiawassee rally in that they really do get crowded.  They do have an "overflow" area but I can not recommend it.  Also, if you go be sure to get to the pot luck dinner early because all seats under cover will be gone quickly.

Bill Thanks!

Forgot to mention the Hungry Mother SP VA rally has a Facebook group, too.

FYI Rally attendees:

After seeing the above posts I did a little bit of poking around in order to see IF this list was actually being produced for this year's Owners Rally.

Well, given that I would guess that Scott Oliver delegated this job of producing an attendee list with campsite numbers to Matt Duncan, and that Matt Duncan no longer works at Oliver, the communication chain had a good likelihood of being broken.  Hopefully I will be able to obtain the information we need with enough time to get copies and have them available at the Rally.  However, if there is someone that you really want to meet up with, it might be advisable to contact them ahead of time to find out exactly where they will be at the Rally. 

In this vein - I will be in site B-03 from late Tuesday afternoon through Sunday night (October 21 through October 25).

                                                                    Update!

 

Aaron Wolters from Oliver has kindly provided me with a list of registered Rally attendees for this year's rally.

If you are attending the Rally and would like a copy, PM (private message) me with your email address and I will try to get this list to you via email.

In addition, I will (hopefully) get the list to a printer and will have copies available at the Rally either at my site (B-03) and/or at registration.

Bill

p.s.  note - there are currently 235 registered attendees.

For rallies. I have recently discovered someone trying to maintain at RV LIFE Community / fiberglassrv.com, or simply Google "rvlife rally map" and find the current year's listening.

2027 rallies: https://www.fiberglassrv.com/threads/2027-rally-map.2181770/

Google Maps directly for 2027: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1I8mtXQU3Pky2XBNV9VoyNyjY9i-XWPw&ll=42.650591549794484%2C-101.6669803122351&z=4

I've recently attended, or will be attending, these fiberglass rallies: 

• Falling for Fiberglass: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fallingforfiberglass
• Thanksgiving in the woods: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1249062990470466
• Eggs on the Hiawassee: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eggsonthehiawassee/
• Spirit of the Suwannee: not sure of site yet.

All great rallies.  If the weather is cool enough, the boondocking/overflow at Hiawassee is not bad, but again, weather dependent.  Some time people double up on sites too if site renters allow it.

This end of year is pretty full for me for rallies, but more to come.

Next year we're likely leaving Hiawassee a day early to head up to the Maine Oliver mini rally in Boothbay. Richard is the organizer, PM me if you want his contact info.

Less than 10 attendees have requested the list - so far.

Note that this list may not be available at the Rally in printed form.  Therefore if you would like to know where attendees are located in the campground - shoot me your email address and I'll do my best to get you a copy via return email.

I have created a Google My Map of known Oliver owner rallies as well as a link to the fiberglass RV Map maintained by another.  For that external map, see the RED star icon in the Atlantic ocean.  It will take you to the google map for general fiberglass rallies for 2027.

The map I created is a private map, and only those with the link will be able to find it.  Then again, this is an open forum, so forget what I said.  All this info is public knowledge.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1dsUQmPEsXOhV3KgTIkwI1QzIeWChkCw&ll=38.15274742744178%2C-102.1311338875&z=5

This should be for open rallies only. If you want a private rally, then don't tell anyone you don't want to show up. 😉  A life lesson.

Let me know if you want anything added or suggestions for changes.
