WHAT IS IT?
For years now, Ranch Hands have been reaching out from all over the country. Sharing their coaches, asking questions, and keeping these classic GMCs alive one mile at a time.
The Ranch Hand Rendezvous Tour is about getting out from behind the camera and meeting folks face-to-face. Talking coaches. Walking around rigs. Answering questions. Spending time with the people who make this community what it is.
We're planning on meeting at the GMCMI Convention in Vidalia, Louisiana on April 21- 26, 2026 at the Riverview RV Resort with additional stops added based on interest from Ranch Hands across the country.
From there, we’ll see where the road takes us.
This page is here to gauge interest and participation so we can plan stops that actually make sense for the community.
So please fill out the form, you can help shape the future of this event!
