What is the best way to lay out a parking lot for 100 large RVs at a Rally?

I know this is a long shot, but go check out your nearest truck stop. You get an idea for the parking pattern. Or maybe a truck warehouse or RV sales lot. \n\nCheck around on line for any place that has done a rally of your size before. Maybe they can give you some ideas.\n\nAre you holding your rally somewhere that has done something your size before? Call the people in charge of the area. Maybe they can offer advice.\n\n\nThis is a guess...this is only a guess :)

Here are some:\n\nLocation - is it large enough, well equiped, do you need a kitchen, or food facility, are there adequate restrooms for the amount of people, does it have an address that is easy to find, does it have acess for the disabled, is it close to an airport, is it in a nice setting, are the acoustics good for speaking or music, can trucks or vehicles pull close to unload, is there adequate parking for your group, is in one story or two or more (is that good or bad), what is the cost of this location, any cleaning fees at end of conference, what is the deposit, how far in advance do you need to reserve this spot, READ THE CONTRACT before you commit.\n\nNumber of People (will there be a limit)\nWhat Material will you need (projectors, tables, chairs)\nWill you provide food or snacks and water for group (how, catered or onsite or off site)\nHow will your attendees dress?\nWhat handouts and sign up forms do you need to mail out?\nWhat speakers will you have?\nWhat entertainment will you have if any?\nWhat backgroud music will you have if any?\nWhere will you get equipment like microphones, speakers, stage?\nWhat city will it be held? Is it practical for most people?\nThink about your goal and make a plan. Write down all the ways to accomplish this goal. Make sure you plan at least 6 months in advance for a large crowd. Even more time up to a year is better so people can add to their calendars.\nYou have lots of computer and phone work to do to pull this off. Get help early.\nGood Luck

You need 8 markers to form a large circle, marked I,O,X,L,T,E,A,P then the center stake. Carefully position the markers so the bearings on the instruction cards are accurate.\n\nPlace the unlabelled stake in the center of the area which will be used for laying out the course. Attach a string (about 50 ft long) to the center of the stake. Working from the center stake each time, set the compass bearings as indicated on the instruction cards that you have made and walk the required distance. Place the labelled stake in the correct location. Repeat from center stake until all your labelled stakes are positioned correctly.

Get everyone involved call your friends and neighbors to help with the benefit. Give everyone something to do. Set a date. Make poster. You need to call your local business and ask for donation and tell them what you are doing. Have your local news paper to advertise for free.  Have a raffle on something that one of the stores give you. If you can get a florist to donate a plant you could raffle it off.  Me and two of my friends had a befit for a small boy in our home town and raised over $3000.00 We used a vacated lot  and had a huge yard sale and had all kind of activities for kids and adults to do. We even had a local band to preform and Pepsi donate a drink machine. Ask the fire department and police to get involved. Ask them to let the kids look at the trucks and cars.We even got our med helicopter to land and it was a big hit. Have a bake sale. Have someone to sell hamburgers and hot dogs. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Tell the business's you will advertise their name on what ever they donated. And have fun. Good Luck

http://www.fundraisingdeals.com/fundraising-ideas.aspx\nThis site has a good amount of free fundraising ideas\n\nI also found this site http://www.carwashguys.com/fundraisers/ch5.html \n\nBelow is a sample of what you will find on the site\n\nPICKING DATES AND TIMES \nRAIN DATES \nFINDING VOLUNTEERS \nWASH-A-THONS \nORGANIZING \nAGENDAS FOR MEETINGS \nHOURS OF FUNDRAISER \nWHAT’S IN THE WATER? \nCAR WASH PRODUCTS \nWATER CONSERVATION \nPARENT’S HELP \nTEAMS \nDIVIDE AND CONQUER \nOVERLAP PROBLEMS \nOTHER LOCATIONS \nSET UP \nLAYOUT \nSUPPLIES \nSUPERVISION \nORGANIZING WASHERS \nSIGNAGE \nPUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM \nDONATION CANS \nHOT DOGS \nBAKE SALE \nPANCAKE BREAKFAST \nTRAFFIC FLOWS \nFLYERS \nCASH \nMEDIA \nCOUNTING CARS \nVACUUMING \nLAYOUT \n\nYour layout is ultra important and inevitably determines how many cars you can wash. If you’ve done your marketing correctly, have a good location and sold tickets/pledges, you will have unlimited cars to wash. Now you must wash them efficiently. Remember, the more cars you wash, the more money you will make for your group. Your layout will change from location to location.\n\nSUPPLIES \nThere are certain supplies you will need such as:\n\nSoap \nSponges (2) \nTowels \nBuckets (3) \nGarden Hoses \nWindow Cleaner \nClothesline \nCoffee Can Collection Box \nClip Boards (2) \nWhistle with Strings (2) \nStop Watch \nSqueegees (3) \nChamois (2) \nYour soap buckets should be five gallon buckets. You don’t have to buy them. Go to the local McDonald’s and ask the manager for a pickle bucket. They are green but who cares. They are free. McDonald’s will also give you a giant water dispenser full of fruit punch to borrow for the day of the event if you want. Tell the management in advance that you will need these items. Also ask them for coupons to hand out at your fundraiser. It will help their business and you should return the favor.\n\n\nhttp://www.carwashguys.com/fundraisers/ch5.html

step 1: prepare the space

If you are looking to go to a NEXTEL Cup race plan on spending at least $100 for so-so seats. Unlike most sports, the higher up in the stands you are the more the tickets will cost. The reason for this is you can see the whole track, or at least more of it on some, than if you sat down low right near the track. The ideal spot to sit would be on the top row between turn 4 and the start/finish line. Most wrecks happen in the turns and you will able to see some of the pit area. Be prepared to spend over $200 per person. I agree, it's crazy.

I make it that 636" x 97" x 100" is roughly 16 meters by 2.5 meters each way, only 100 cubic meters, so you need 7 more trailers.

1. Reserve space 1-2 years before the expo. Good locations fill up fast, and you want to make sure that you have locked in the venue. Make sure the convention center is accessible and easy for people to find. If you can get a downtown location, so much the better\n\n2. Prepare your marketing materials including initial brochures. These materials should contain information on the objectives of this expo, how different is this expo from all others in the same field, who your target audience, and what they can get from this expo. This is your sales pitch, so answer the question "Why should I join?" Note that you may need to print revised brochures a few months before the actual event when you have sponsors lined up and participants lined up.\n\n3. Contact possible participants. Make a list of all companies and players in the industry. Send them all your marketing materials. Then contact them to follow up. If you can hire sales representatives to do this work for you, do so. You need to do this at least one year BEFORE the expo. Check your pricing and sponsorship schemes.\n\n4. Line up your seminars, and who your guest speakers will be. I often get invited for a speaking engagement to an expo a year before it actually starts. Just get their interest, and whether they think the dates and venue you are proposing is workable. This is critical because many people go to expos to hear certain speakers. If you have a great headliner, chances are great that people will be interested to attend.\n\n5. Even while you are still putting together the whole event, create your own website for the expo. A year is good enough timeline for the site to be picked up by the search engine. Market the website continuously -- get related sites to link to it; inform bloggers in your field about the event so they can post it in their blogs, etc.\n\n6. About 6 months (at the latest) before the expo (or earlier the better), start advertising in trade magazines, radio and other publications.\n\n7. Think of come-on promotions for your event (raffles, etc.) Depending on your budget, determine how you will market to the general public \n\nStarting an expo is hard work and you've got to be an expert in managing logistics. It can be a nightmare, but if you have a good team with you, it can be done.

Remove all speed bumps from the parking lots and put them in the hallways and/or sports fields.\n\nAttach all hallway/lounge furniture to the ceiling.\n\nBrick up doorways to all administrative offices.\n\nSprinkle instant mashed potatos all over the sports fields, preferably with a reasonable expectation of rain in the next few days.\n\nHide an old cell phone in the ceiling or a plant and call it frequently throughout the day.  Preferably during times of quiet.\n\nRound-up.  (Draw your own conclusions and offer to help the maintenance guy in advance!)

There are RV parks all over the place that you can buy a membership or pay to keep your trailer there all year.  I live in Michigan and we have numerous year round, permanent campgrounds.
