That is true they are shared by 2 sites but both have a 30 and 50 for each side. At least that was in the 200's # spaces as I quoted. Each also has there own spigot and sewer line.... As far as the person who asked about the surports for the sewer line, I found 1 will work with some added boards. Remember it connections are like 6 to 8" above ground level at the pedestal.....

Thanks, I was only parked in the 200 area 1 time and I forgot what the pedestal looked like. Advice regards adapters is still valid though for most.

I believe last year it was gate #2. I just followed the signs once I got close, they had it well marked.

Attendees of the Goshen rally might want to consider having business cards made up with their contact information. You are going to meet a lot of fellow FROGs and passing out business cards is an easy way to share personal contact information with the new friends you make at the rally. Some folks put pictures of their rigs or photos of themselves on the cards. It’s quite easy to make business cards on your home computer or you can have it done professionally. Just something to consider.

X2, I had the same idea and already done!!!

Avery.com has a great program for this (design your own). All you have to do is buy the card stock paper.

I don't want to read 70 pages of posts and if this has been covered before ,I apologize. Are sites assigned per registration number or upon arrival? Is there an attempt to position similar types of RV's together? Is there any advantage to arriving a day or two early? I for one would like to be with a group of Berkshires to share thoughts and ideas.

I believe they said earlier there is no advantage to early arrivals. They essentially are playing a game of Tetris here but I believe they try to put brands together ie primetime together, palomino together. I believe they did an r pod village and a section for the phat phrog crew as well.

So far this has been fine. If you find yourself in a bind for longer, a home store run for a 10 foot section of rain gutter and a cinder block will also work to make it 30.
Those are great supports. However, I got in a bind at a couple of campsites where I had to go over railroad ties.

Here is another solution. Yeah I know it is pricey but you only buy this once and it does thing you can't dream of doing with the cameo (like make 90Ί turns)

Also, I had problems with my Camco falling over at times...that could have been operator error though

Since it is now owned by Lippert, maybe they will have a Rally special on the Flow Down (if they do, I will buy another one)

There are certain brands that will park together: The Cardinal, Columbus, & Cedar Creek "Owners Groups"

Of course the R-Pod "Village" (AWESOME they even elect a "Mayor"

Other than that, you are parked "Hobo" style (the folks you are in line with will be your Rally neighbors )

Provisions are made so that if you arrive early, you will not have to move once the rally starts

Be a cold day in you know where when I throw $80 away to prop up a sewer hose when it can lay on the ground for free. In all my years of camping, have never seen the need to support a sewer hose.

That's a GOOD idea!

I have used this service before they are reasonable (and at one time I think they did the printing for free if you let them advertise on the back of the card)

For the most part you are parked depending on your registration
"First come first served"
Your spot is more or less pre determined before you arrive.
There are "better" spots then others and they go first, again it's in the order you signed up. -ish
