RVING AT THE EVENT

Guests can reserve an RV site at the Ultimate RV Show and try out RV camping itself or test out their recent RV purchase. You must reserve your RV site in advance as the sites fill quickly. If you aren't sure if you're ready to get an RV, you can test out an RV rental from RVshare. If you want to RV camp at a local campground or resort, there are many local options to accommodate your needs. Here are some of the RV campgrounds, resorts, and parks we recommend:

• Dakotah Meadows RV Park offers many paved RV sites with full hookups, including water, electricity, and sewage. The park amenities include clean showers, a storm shelter, a playground and pavilion, a mini-store and laundry facility, a self-serve RV wash and fueling station, and a free shuttle service.

• Town & Country RV Park and Campground offers electrical and water hookups, and they offer discounts to military and first responders. The campground amenities include an onsite playground, a pool, a laundry facility, restrooms, showers, a game room, sanitary dump stations, a storm shelter, a camp store, and Wi-Fi.

Here are some tips for RVers attending The Ultimate RV Show:

• Ensure that your RV has been winterized, as the Minneapolis temperatures can drop below freezing and cause damage. You may need snow tires installed before driving through the area, too.

• Stock up on firewood and ensure that your RV heating system operates as expected. Bring warm clothing, extra blankets, and appropriate footwear.

• Review the rules and guidelines for your preferred campground. There are firewood restrictions in some areas.

• Place all food in sealed containers to prevent critters from getting into your food. Fully stock your RV with everything you need for your trip. Bring first aid kits, toiletries, and any medications you need.

• Consider bringing a car with you so you can avoid driving your RV throughout the city. However, if you wish to trade in your RV, bring all documentation for it, including a clear title.
