A member-favourite tradition. The RV Women's Alliance brought energy, connection, and a touch of country charm to its annual weekend campout, blending professional networking with relaxed, outdoor fun. Weekend highlights included Rustic Welcome Circles, Kountry Karaoke, Southern Social Campsite Crawl, Paint 'N Sip, fun prizes, & MORE! 4th Annual Spring Campout
The RV Women's Alliance Campout is always such a fun mix of networking, laughter, learning, and stepping away from the day-to-day to reconnect with some incredible people in the industry. I’m so grateful for the friendships, memories, and community that RVWA continues to create year after year. Already looking forward to the next one! - Destiny Tolliver, Campers Inn RV I attended my first RVWA Spring Campout this weekend, and what an incredible experience. It was the perfect chance to connect, recharge, and be surrounded by empowering women who are truly leaders in their fields. I’m walking away inspired, energized, and grateful for the community we’re building. - Adriana Bontreger, Grand Design RV
Networking was one of the best parts! It was wonderful meeting everyone, and there was such a strong sense of support and encouragement from all the attendees.
