Thousands of recreational vehicles, from compact travel trailers to luxury
motorhomes, are expected to converge upon the sprawling Georgia National
Fairgrounds for the country's most significant RV gathering, hosted annually
by the Family RV Association on the week of March 16 - 21. This year, the
tradition continues, promising an event of the same grand scale and excitement
as its predecessors. This venue will once again be the hub for the Changes in
Latitude FRVA rally—a beach party celebration and informational exchange for
RV enthusiasts, industry professionals, and families alike.
A key highlight of this year's event will be the return of the Discovery Zone,
an initiative spearheaded by Patrice and Kevin McCabe from the Discovery
Channel series, RV There Yet? Situated within the Georgia Grown Building, the
Discovery Zone is an innovative and highly engaging concept that goes far
beyond a typical exhibit hall booth. It is designed to be an immersive,
hands-on learning environment for attendees.
The Discovery Zone's unique setup will incorporate several distinct areas:
- Hands-on Demonstrations of Products: Attendees will have the opportunity to interact directly with the latest RV-related products, technologies, and accessories. These live demonstrations will allow users to test products and see their functionality in a realistic setting.
- Educational Seminars: A curated schedule of seminars will be presented by industry experts, covering vital topics ranging from RV maintenance and safety to destination planning and lifestyle tips. These sessions are intended to empower RV owners with practical knowledge. Don't miss the most popular seminar of the day, Patrice's cooking classes where she will take the audience through preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Add it to your activity list!
- RV Tours: The Zone will also feature an array of Winnebago trailers for guided and self-guided tours. This provides potential buyers and current owners with an up-close look at new floor plans, design innovations, and essential features of the latest models hitting the market.
Prepare for an incredible experience at the Discovery Zone, where innovation
meets the open road! The excitement begins when the exhibit hall officially
opens its doors on Wednesday at 1:00 PM, coinciding with the start of a robust
schedule of educational seminars. The hall will remain open for the next three
days, providing ample time to explore, learn, and connect. Be sure to mark
your calendars, as the main exhibition hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily,
culminating on Saturday, the final day of the event.
