Foretravel Chapter Rolls Into Hawkins Pointe
Rolling Out the Welcome Mat
Hawkins Pointe is hosting the Foretravel Motorcade Club's Mid-South Chapter for their Fall 2026 Rally, running September 14–18, 2026, and welcoming owners rolling in from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
We're thrilled to welcome the Foretravel community to our park in Chattanooga. It's an honor to host a group that loves sharing stories and swapping know-how on their rigs. Our whole team is focused on making it one to remember.
On the agenda: a Towing demonstration from John Hawkins,
“All RVed up but nowhere to go because of a breakdown?”,
a Chattanooga original with 45 years ofexperience in the towing and recovery business. John has ties to the local tow museum, PLUS a technical session hosted by Cummins.
RV Heavy Duty Towing Seminar
Hawkins Pointe hosted the towing seminar for the Foretravel rally. Mike Fraser and I walked 22 coaches through what to do if they break down on the side of the road or interstate, including how to stay safe and avoid being struck.
We also covered the basics every owner should know: coach length, front axle weight and distance, and how to communicate clearly with a service provider when trouble hits.
It's not hypothetical. Just last week I got three calls for coaches breaking down, plus a call from a fellow tower who needed help offloading at a customer's destination. That's the job: cutting through the drama, getting the right people involved, and connecting the tower with the customer.
We wrapped up a great morning, then took the group to the Tow Museum that afternoon and hosted dinner in our AC-cooled Club Storage that evening. What stuck with us most was how appreciative everyone was, and how eager they were to learn about our industry. That's all the reward we needed.
