Special International Rally Edition

April 2026

In this special edition of The Happenings, the focus is on the 40^th International Rally in Rock Springs, Wyoming. With the rally only few weeks away, many of you have already started your trek, and we wish you safe travels and low fuel prices.

An important part of the International Rally is access to the special service providers that will be onsite to keep your coaches in top shape. Noted below are opportunities to sign up for services and activities in advance – please click on the respective link to find more information and get in the queue for their services. New this year, we have a floor cleaning company that will clean your coach’s tile and carpets, as well as perform interior housecleaning tasks. We are also working with a windshield rock chip repair company that will be on site.

If you have not yet returned the yellow envelope with your Newmar Service requests, you should be sure to send them now to ensure the service techs can address your needs and have the necessary part available.

Safe Travels,

Jamie & Beth Smith

DO YOU HAVE YOUR RALLY CONFIRMATION PACKET?

In approximately three weeks of registering you should have received your rally confirmation packet by mail. Within the packet are several important items.

Your rally confirmation sheet indicating what you registered for at this event.
Your color-coded parking pass. One side indicates the date and time of your arrival, the other side has a map and directions for coming in. Please have this in your windshield upon arrival to help streamline the parking process. NOTE: Parking will be through 4:00pm. If you arrive after that time you will be held in the staging area and parked the next morning.
Directions and general information. This will help guide you in to the correct entrance gate and also incudes an address that you can have mail/packages sent to you and other important notifications.
If this is your first time attending an International Rally there is a special letter welcoming you to the event and share important pointers for you. Be sure to join us for the First Time Attendee Meeting being held Sunday afternoon.
An envelope with information on requesting service work at the rally.

It seems this year has been challenging for our postal system and we have had to re-send packets to many of our members. If you have not received this packet or misplaced it please email us kountryklub@newmarcorp.com and we will send a new out to you.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR SERVICE WORK AT THE RALLY

Within your rally confirmation packet you will find a yellow rally service information envelope. This envelope contains several important notices of what can and cannot be done offsite at a rally (remember we are parked in a field not on level concrete), a list of suppliers anticipated to be in attendance, and the 3-part service request form. Please fill out the service request form and send back to the Newmar Service Department as soon as possible (deadline is May 16th). The forms will help the service team to know what parts to send to ensure your work can be completed, as well as how many service techs will be in attendance. If you have any questions on this please contact customer service direct at customerservice@newmarcorp.com or 800-731-8300.
