Looking Forward to Late-Winter and Spring Rally Season
Winter Camping (Death Valley, CA)
LaVerne and I are looking forward to the start of the late winter and spring rally season. We have already started in Death Valley, CA, and look forward to more Region 12 events over the next few months. It’s always a joy to reconnect with fellow Airstream enthusiasts, share travel stories, and create new memories. The upcoming rallies promise exciting adventures, beautiful destinations, and the warm camaraderie that makes our community unique. Here’s to another fantastic season of Airstreaming!
In this President’s Corner:

NEW National Event Rally: Silver on the River Europe Cruise – 2026
Based on the interest in the 2025 Silver on the Seas cruise to Alaska, the National Events Rally team has partnered with Region 12 to offer a European River Cruise in 2026. Approved by the Executive Council last month, the river cruise will occur in 2026. To learn more about this and other National Event Rallies, visit our site: airstreamclub.org/nationalevents.
National Event Rallies are opportunities to ‘stream outside your local Club or region. Scattered across the country and offered at different times of the year, it’s a chance for members to get together and do what Airstreamers do best – friends, fun, and adventure. From urban rallies to live music to pets and parades, there’s something for everyone and every age.
Courtesy Parking and Harvest Hosts are now integrated with RV Trip Wizard
Many of us use dedicated trip planning software optimized for RV travel. One of the popular solutions is RV Trip Wizard (subscription required), which has just announced an integration with Harvest Hosts. This means users can search campgrounds and plan their routes accordingly and now see and incorporate Harvest Host locations if they choose. A subscription to Harvest Hosts is required, and the membership must be connected within the RV Life Trip Wizard application.

RV Trip Wizard is a trip-planning tool for RV enthusiasts. It helps you plan routes, find campgrounds, and avoid obstacles like low clearances.

It’s perfect for optimizing your RV adventures and traveling with confidence.
