F.R.O.G stands for "Forest River Owners Group". Forest River is the manufacturer of our Palomino Columbus 5th wheel. For the 3rd year in a row they have thrown a rally for owners of Forest River products in Goshen Indiana at the Elkhart 4H fairgrounds. This 3rd year, there were over 550 RV's at the Rally.
Below you can see the line waiting for dinner.
Each night we had an Amish catered dinner. One of the nights they had a sit down dinner where we served.

All the RV's at the parked at the Rally.
There were seminars during the day put on by the various vendors providing information on how to operated the subsystems optimally in your RV.
There were special Rally prices on service. I had my brakes on our 5th wheel upgraded to forward auto adjusting brakes in preparation for our fall 9+ month road trip.
The big surprise at the Rally was that Forest River asked everyone what needed to be fixed on your RV at the beginning of the rally and then all week technicians came out to make repairs. Even if your RV was out of warranty. Everyone was really surprised at all the repairs that were made. We are definitely planning on returning again next year. I have already signed up as a volunteer.
They also hired buses to take us to the manufacturing plants where the various brands of RV's were being made. We went on the Columbus tour to see where our 5th wheel was made.
