Kinds of events

The large expos combine a vendor show, classes and a campground full of real vehicles. Rallies and brand gatherings are smaller and more social. Training weekends and club runs are where you actually drive.

Getting the most from one

The vendor hall is the least useful part.

  1. 01Take the classes. They are the best value at any expo.
  2. 02Walk the camping area. Owners will tell you what they would do differently.
  3. 03Talk to builders in person, and look closely at their work.
  4. 04Book camping early. It sells out before day tickets do.

For organizers

Questions people ask

Are events worth it for beginners?

They are the quickest education available: a weekend of classes, hundreds of vehicles to look at, and owners who will happily tell you what they would do differently.
