Tin Can Tourists 105th Winter Convention

The 105th Annual Winter Convention Registration is open!  We have a new home for the TCT Winter Convention which will be the Private Robinson Ranch located in a pristine old Florida setting right on the Withlacoochee Riverside between Dunnellon Florida and Inglis Florida. Be sure to send your TCT registration early as we only have 130 elect/water sites in addition to a dry camping field. There is a dump station on site and a bath house in the park. Do Not contact the park and please only coordinate through Tim Heintz / Tin Can Tourists. 

DATES:
The official convention dates will be February 21-25, 2024 with February 21st being an optional early arrival day. This year no rigs will be allowed to arrive earlier than the 21st of February as this venue is not a public RV park so we are only allowed to have our members arrive on the official dates contracted for the rally. If you are traveling long distance and plan to arrive in the area earlier you will need to make arrangements at a nearby RV park until the convention gates open at 11:00am on February 21st 2024.

CHECK IN:
TCT will have a large number of rigs arriving on Wednesday and Thursday. We are asking members to arrive at the park between 11:00am-5:00pm EDT if possible and please be patient as we direct rigs to the sites. Official registration will occur at the gate when you arrive. If arriving after hours and need assistance in parking please contact Tim Heintz once you arrive on site by calling 850.739.0237

TCT campsites are all ‘First Come First Serve’. This year we have the option of registering for a 30amp Electric/Water site OR a dry camping area. The Dry Camping area does have some water hook ups in the general area for filling tanks and if you want to park near a water hook up in the dry camping area it will be a first come first serve basis. Generators will only be allowed in the Dry Camping area and designated hours to run generators will be 9am-11am and 6pm-8pm. There is a dump station on site for all members to use.

If you do not pick up your registration bag on Wednesday you may pick it up at the gate on Thursday from 11am-5pm or at the Thursday evening Meet and Greet.

OFF SITE PARTICIPATES:
There will even be a registration option for our members that may currently not have a camping rig to bring, decide to travel without your rig, staying in a hotel/Airbnb, or even live nearby and just want to participate in the official daily rally activities. Select the ‘No Camping Spot’ option on the registration form (Plus additional guests if applicable) and you may still participate in all of the official events with an event gate pass. You will still receive an official rally bag, t-shirt(s), meals, etc.

VOLUNTEERS:
We always need volunteers to help during the event. If you would like to volunteer, please let us know by email, sign up during official registration or with one of the TCT officials after you arrive. Volunteers will be needed to help set-up, gate registration, break-down, check meal tickets, serve meals, meal clean up, open house gate attendants, etc…

SCHEDULE: THIS YEAR’S THEME….. The 1980’s!
There are many events planned during the 105th Winter Convention including a 1980’s Movie Night, early morning 30 minute 80’s aerobic workout 1980’s Dance Party, and so much more! Plenty of time to find those awesome 80’s outfits deep in your closets!

SOCIAL MEDIA/UPDATES:

The TCT 105th Winter Convention does have an event page on Facebook. Feel free to use that page for any ‘pop-up events’ you want to host or list outside of our regular schedule of events such as nightly campfires at certain site numbers, times to gather at the pavilion for playing cards, puzzles, happy hours, etc.… or even just carpooling trips for store / supply runs in town.  ‘Click here for a link to the official winter conventionpage’

Thanks again to all members for their patience and cooperation this year with relocating the Winter Convention once again to a new venue, we are pretty sure we have found a new long-term home! It has been a very challenging couple of years but be assured your TCT officials are working year long to provide you with the best event possible!
