Question, When do they "officially" post saying where the 2020 Van Nationals will be at along with dates?

I have heard, in Albert Lea Minnesota, along with July 8th area!

When is the "official release" date

At the end of the Nats they announce next year's location. I've been going to truck ins for over 40 years take my word for it.

It's been posted all over facebook. The official flyer is out. Yes, it's in Albert Lea. The July 8th time frame is correct also.

Thank you all for the replies!

Just surprised they announce it on FB and yet there has been no official post on this website yet. Some people (maybe just ME) don't have FB. Just surprised they announce it to FB and nothing on here other than what other members (again thank you) are saying.

Sorry if I offended anyone, but I thought this would be the 2nd place announced (47th ending of Van Nats 1st) then maybe FB 3rd.

Unfortunately, FB and IG have taken over and Websites, Blogs, and Forums are slowly fading away. There are a gazzilion van pages/groups on FB now and its hard to keep up with the pace of them!

I don't think you offended anyone Bob. I also was surprised it wasn't "officially" posted here first. Maybe the Nats board and next years hosts are all recovering from this year and we'll get to see a flyer in just a few days ....... shocked
I would hate getting details second-hand from FB.

Just my 2%.

BTW it looks like it's only a couple hundred miles from you! That's close.

For the last couple of years people have kind of ignored Vanning.com unfortunately. A lot of us die hards are still here as well as Face book. Periodically the dates fluctuate somewhat. I think this years was a lot later than most years and next years is a little earlier.

It's only 175 miles for me at the most 1/2 tank of gas!

I can't wait!

I do hope you're correct Catfish, and it is only a couple more days before it's posted on here! Bring your fishing pole, as the lake is only a few blocks away from the campground. I am hoping with a name like Catfish that means you can hook a big fish.

We're makin' a list
We're checkin' it twice
Lawn chair , bait, and Leinies on ice!
Van Nationals are coming to town.

If the great State of Tennessee hosts the Nats, we definitely will need that advance notice in order to properly train for the Pub Crawl.

Let's not forget the state to the south, Iowa. Albert Lea is on the Minnesota / Iowa border. There are a few fun things to do and see in the area and here is 2 in Iowa.

Winnebago Industries

For anyone on I35 north who may like to gamble
https://www.traveliowa.com/cities/northwood-iowa/951/

Both are less than 30 mintues from Albert Lea MN

I'll be there! I'm super excited that it's coming to MN.

As mentioned above, the Winnebago Visitors Center is totally worth the visit. My van was made there in 84, so it was cool to drive my van there last summer and check out the history on display at the visitors center.

It's been over a week since the dates and locations were announced and still nothing "official" here on this site.

Yes, I know it's been said where and when for next year, and we're all excited (yes, I know I am speaking for most of the crowd).

I am only going to speculate at this time that I need to "Join Facebook" if I want to most up to date news. To join Facebook click here ---> www.bigestwasteoftime.com

Looking ahead to this coming year and I’m pretty sure I’m going to try and make it to #48. Working on convincing other vanners from Portland and Rolling Death Van Club to join me. I have a few interested folks so as long as nothing crazy happens to the van, really going to make an effort to be there. I’ll be turning 40 next year (after the Nats) and want to start getting to my bucket list items and hopefully make it a yearly pilgrimage to the Nats.

When do people start registering? Who’s making the trip? Would love to connect real faces and vans to names I only know online.

preregistration is on now! Prereg early and get a limited edition coozie. I'm so excited for this event!

For those coming in eastbound on I-94, I'd love to get a caravan going from Fargo to Albert Lea. It's about 5 hours and I'm sure there's a stop or two worth hitting up...

The more pre entries they get the more their credit goes up with suppliers and bands and other stuff.

If you plan on taking the cruise to the Surf Ballroom at the Nats it's 35 miles from the fair grounds to the Surf.

A big thank you to Twin City Vans for all that they did to make the 48th Nats a great and memorable time. My Plan A (JAWS) was not ready so went with Plan B (The InnKeeper). Not complaining as I'm fortunate to have a Plan B. Looking forward to Ohio in 2022.

Youre welcome. Oop's videos are part of what rekindled my desire to get into vanning. Love watching and checking out everyone's cool rides.

Another video but from a first-timers perspective. Very well done by Becoming Bev.
I've been following Bev as a van lifer and this year she went to the Nats.
If you've been to the Nats you'll see some familiar sites that'll make ya smile. If you've never been then this will help jump start you for next year.
Be sure to share this with your better half.
