It appears that rally parking will be in fairground parking lots in the middle of town. It appears that separate parking areas are allocated if you registered for full electric, have dogs, have a generator you plan to use, have handicapped parking needs, or are a VIP of some sort or other. The only current known source for a lot of this information is the newbies guide (PDF) on the WBCCI site.

Honey trucks, trash and other basic services |
Cleaning our your black water tanks is done on a regularly scheduled basis. You will get a note on your door indicating when the trucks will be by. Newbies guide says the honey truck will only service black tanks. |
Link to 2006 review detail page Trash had to be hand carried to a central site. |
|
|
Black Tank |
Leave a clip by your door so you can receive notice of the honey truck appointment to drain your black tank, |
The honey truck was scheduled for every 5 days. |
|
|
Gray Tank |
NO INFORMATION !!! In the past, under trailer drainage has been used. That may not apply here. |
Gray water could not be drained on the ground. |

Full service electric (3 kw) is a registration option. Otherwise, it will be battery charging only.(300 watts or so) |

Taking Care of yourself |
|
|
|
|
Many of us travel with pets and are well aware of their needs, especially when the weather is hot or we plan to be away from our rigs for an extended period of time. People with pets are usually assigned to a parking area separate from those without pets. This year the rally is at a fairground which usually means some sort of paved surface. You will need to ask a rally volunteer where the designated pet area is or it may be in the materials you are given when you sign in at the rally. |
Link to 2006 review detail page There was a veterinarian on site with designated hours to take care of pets |
|
|
Getting around |
WBCCI makes parking available close to the location of the majority of activities to those with mobility problems. To park in this area you need to indicate that on your registration form. |
Link to 2006 review detail page Tractors with carts provided transportation around the rally site. |
