Winnebago welcomes community of enthusiasts to Annual Grand National Rally

For more than 50 years, Winnebago, the flagship brand of outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer Winnebago Industries, Inc., has welcomed its owner community to Forest City, Iowa for the Grand National Rally, a week-long celebration of Winnebago RVs and owners. 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. 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 takes place July 17-21 at Winnebago’s Forest City Rally Grounds.
“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.”
This year’s Grand National Rally will host more than 550 RVs and upwards of 1,000 guests.
Key highlights include:
• In-person product displays, including a first look at two limited-edition versions of the popular Solis and Vista/Sunstar models that come from Winnebago’s partnership with the National Park Foundation.
• Daily seminars on topics ranging from RV maintenance and travel to personal health and wellness and how to increase outdoor equity and inclusion in RV communities.
