Geo,
According to Capt. Mike, the only way this will be possible is if you meet somewhere and caravan in together.
Parking will be done "Hobo Style" That means you will be parked in areas as you arrive, one slot after the other.
So, if you and say 2 other friends wanted to camp together you would met up at an pre-arranged spot (NOT the Fairgrounds) then drive to re registration point together.
Hope this helps

Your spots are determined long before you arrive whether you arrive in a group or not. What you are implying just won't happen, in my experience.

Yep. I've wondered what the deciding factors were. Brand, style, chance...etc. Seems they'd put units with small black and gray tanks in sewer hookups and they big units with 100 gal tanks in non sewer spots. Guess that's too much trouble to track. Either way its worth the trip.

As has been mentioned before, they try to get brands together to facilitate the service crews not having to chase all over the fairgrounds. Can you imagine the logistics of going thru 5-600 registrations and determining which ones had small holding tanks/30A/50A needs? It's mind boggling now how they do such a good job without adding more stipulations.

Size of tanks shouldn't be a factor, but I hope they can at least segregate between the ones that have sewer and those that don't. I'm pretty sure I saw a pop-up with no visible sewer outlet on a sewered site last year. Though that was probably the single instance of an unused sewer I noticed the whole rally, so overall a pretty decent job.

Looks like Thurs night will be a free night for everyone without the main crew of the PPST and RVChick to put on the Pot Luck.
Maybe Frog Bob can substitute a greased pig contest?

Thanks for the clarification Neil!
(I was just repeating what I had recently been told)

I thought this site was resevered for you. All though I guess you could technically dump in the muck pile with the rest of the livestock.

The muck pile(s) was/were created just for FT Turbs. They have started one in Nashville just for him.

Aside from your site bring cash for the store. We got some sweet deals there in 2014. Nice bed, power surge suppressor, JT Strong Arms. I have a trailer looked at too, i wish Grandma taught me low german I could talked to the service crew.

Definitely not a task I'd want. But if someone with time could enter the data in an excel spreadsheet, sort by tank size and "shazam!" there it is.
But its definitely not necessary. We got by last year with the single dump on our small tanks. Just had to be more conservative than usual. It worked out.
However, I didn't see any consistency in brands together other than rPods.
I had a Georgetown beside me and behind me, and a high end 5er on the other side. Don't think there was another rockwood or flagstaff anywhere in our row.
But. We want to go back this year. Had a blast and any worry is relieved by the knowledge that you can call for another dump if necessary.
Great job froggers, forest river and greater Goshen area.

There are also a few bathrooms that have showers also if by chance your not against using them, just a thought. I know a couple of showers in the main hall where the meals are and another over by the area where the service bldg. was, anyone remember any other locations
