2026 Virginia Airstream Club Maintanence Breakout Rally

Rally Description:

We’re heading back to Fredericksburg, Virginia for a weekend at the KOA Holiday campground to get our rigs ready for camping season. Need to lubricate those seals? Sanitize the fresh water tank? Tackle that small maintenance project? Need help or advice on a larger maintenance project? Now’s the time!

DJ Mastin, owner of Broken Rivets RV Service (exclusively dedicated to Airstream maintenance, renovation, and repair), will be on hand during the weekend to provide knowledge and answer questions at a Maintaining Your Trailer class on Saturday morning. DJ will also be available during the weekend to assist with minor repairs, and questions. You will be able to schedule your appointment with DJ ahead of time (stay tuned for details). And, even if you’ve attended one of DJ’s classes before, there’s always something new to learn about taking care of your Airstream. 

RESERVE YOUR SITE:

Sites are full hookups and are $51-71 plus tax per night (Friday, March 20 - Sunday, March 22). Thursday, March 19 arrivals are welcome and we can get the fun started early! See the rally schedule below. Please contact KOA Fredericksburg directly ) by phone to book your site.

The Fredericksburg / Washington DC South KOA Holiday campground is not your typical RV park. It has the feel of a family-owned campground with immaculate facilities and amenities in a remote country setting only a few miles from a full range of dining, recreational, entertainment, and shopping options in Fredericksburg. 

The deadline to book your campsite is November 1st, 2025 if you want to be parked with the group. After this date, being parked with the group is not guaranteed but no worries — the campground is intimate enough that you won't be too far away from the action. If you’re thinking about attending, be sure to BOOK EARLY! Those who book by this date will receive a special gift.

Book with the campsite directly (by phone) and identify yourself as part of the group (VAC 109). Check-in time is 1:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am.
