We’re relatively new to RV’ing, and are heading to our 1st ever rally. Up until now, most of our camping has been at the place five miles from our house, plus one trip to a state campground two hours away.
We’ll be headed to Texas soon… over 800 miles away. The rally (at the Waco fairgrounds, aka Extraco Event Center) is for the eclipse, and I only have full hook-ups for the 1st three nights, and water/electric for the 4 nights that are the rally weekend (my waitlist does not seem to have come thru.) I wasn’t too worried about it because we didn’t have sewer hookups at the state park last year for a week long trip, and we were fine using the bathhouse during the day, and the rv toilet at night.
It has suddenly occurred to me that there might not be showers at the fairground, and my spouse likes to stand under the spray until the hot water runs out, so I need to figure this out. They’ll have a tank truck come twice during the rally, but not sure about the 1st 3 nights. We’re trying to decide if we want to just camp the whole week with partial hookups to avoid moving 3 days in, but we need to shower! (One of the main reasons to get there early is because we don’t want to struggle with the super tight parking, so want to get there before it’s super full.)
I can’t find any real details about the rv situation, and am wondering if anyone has stayed there with their rv before. I’m stressing a lot about this trip, but I’m reminding myself that after this, it will be a lot less daunting to head to Ft Wilderness, so that’s my silver lining.
Thanks in advance for any information, and if anyone wants to offer general rally advice, or cautions, feel free!
