Balloon Fiesta Field, 4401 Alameda Boulevard N.E., Albuquerque, NM, 87113, United States.
PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN AS EVENT DETAILS COULD CHANGE!
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is a bucket list event for almost all RVers. This is the first in a series of events where innovative companies like RV Life and Lippert seek to "go where RVers already are" rather than inviting RVers to the traditional RV events.
The RV Industry has experienced unprecedented growth over the last few years and it is because of our amazing cusomers. We look forward to celebrating you at this event.
Join us in the VIP West Lot under the small white and green 10 x 10 tents just in front of the public access bridge for answers to the questions most RVers are asking. It's a casual conversation atmosphere with great conversation. Also, join us in our VIP Tents on Monday and Friday on Balloon Fiesta field. Take an opportunity to meet your favorite content creators as well as they pop in and out of our events! You can also take an opportunity to hear about the future of RVing and help to guide that with some of our special reseachers who will be attending!
All activities are free!, BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR to gatherings that are not in the VIP TENT on Monday and Friday!
If you are here with a group like FROG or AOG, we have special times on the schedule for you to use if you like. You can just email balloonfiesta@sandyellingson.com and we will add your details for you.
We can't wait to see you there! Go to https://my.rvlife.com and click the Try Free Trial button. Use the code Balloon2021 as the code.

Hello! We are the Moss Family! In May of 2015, after more than a year of planning, we sold our home and packed up what we had left into an RV. Living with less has been an exciting journey that has opened our eyes to what the world can offer if we are not hiding behind so much stuff. We are still stuffaholics, but hope this journey will help us focus on what matters most in life...relationships.
Phil and Stacy’s RV story starts with the same opener as other full time RVers. They sold their home and possessions, walked away from their jobs, jumped into an RV, and hit the road. But Phil and Stacy have a very unique way of telling their story and a unique mission while traveling the country. They share their life on the road with a little sarcasm and a LOT of humor. Their positive outlook on life even when things go wrong makes watching their videos fun. You don’t just watch where they go, you actually feel like you are a part of their journey. Expect to laugh out loud with them during most of their videos. If you watch to the end, you catch a few of their hilarious bloopers.
Chad and Tara are full-time RVers, the creators of Changing Lanes and Lazydays RV's first official ambassadors! Chad and Tara got the itch to travel and started to think about the possibility of selling their home and hitting the road full-time. The dream became a reality and they have not looked back.
We're the Axness Family! We launched in April 2017 to travel full-time in our RV! We're homeschooling our children while we travel across America to spread health, wealth, and abundance! Subscribe to follow our journey!
Abby and Jason have a wonderful YouTube channel for the RV Miles Network. Created by #FullTimeRVers Jason + Abby Epperson, the RV Miles Network features 3 weekly podcasts (RV Miles, America's National Parks + See America ), RVMiles.com, gear reviews, industry news, Our Wandering Family (Jason and Abigail's family travel blog), and so much more.
Matt from Matt’s RV Reviews started as a brand ambassador for General RV and is now independent! He’s widely known among the RV community for his RV-related content on YouTube and social media. Many people may not realize that he splits his content among two channels. His original channel now features only drivable RVs and his second channel focuses on the world of towable RVs. Matt is extremely popular for his honest reviews and accessibility to those who follow him.
RV Life is one of our amazing sponsors who makes these special activities for RVers possible. Patrick is the Industry Liaison for RV Life by title, but everyone who interacts with him knows he is so much more. From Author, to administrator, to major #rvlife advocate, Patrick does it all with passion and excellence.
Since starting our journey as a female RV technician & inspection team, we have often been confronted with the same question, “Soooo, what made YOU decide to do THIS kind of work?” Well, we know this isn’t what many people would consider a “typical” career for women, but luckily, we aren’t the type of gals who give power to stereotypes and we enjoy a challenge. When we, as a family, made the decision to join the ranks of full-time RVers, we also made a commitment to ourselves to become as self-reliant as possible. For years, we heard the horror stories of people waiting sometimes weeks or months to get their rigs repaired and we didn’t want to fall into that trap, especially since we would no longer have a sticks and bricks house to rely on if/when the time for repairs came. And so our journey began. Today we help RVers across the country and are part of the Alpha Launch of the RV Tech Bridge project with Lippert.
Founder, Colleen Elkins has been living the RV lifestyle ourselves since 2008. While they traveled the country they quickly recognized this unique lifestyle created some challenges for those needing to insure their health. As they found solutions for those they met they would refer other RVers to them. Lou Ann is a full time RVing member of the team. She is a former nurse and enjoys educating clients to help them understand and maximize their under age 65 Health plan and Medicare benefits.
I’m a technology geek, strategic thinker, connector, and adventurer! I found my second home within the RV Community. Now, I get to work with great companies like Lippert and RV Life who seek to grow our industry by listening and engaging us!

RV LIFE
RV Life makes tools that make camping simple. They are an innovative partner to the industry with many great tools under the RV Life banner. Some of the most recognizable are campgroundreviews.com, rvtripwizard.com, and the many forums hosted for brands like Forest River and Airstream. Like Lippert, RV Life supports progress in the industry that is fueled by RVers themselves. The founder actually started as an RVer! What a perfect match! RV Life makes camping simple and Lippert keeps us camping!
Lippert
For members of the RV Community, I think that this quote says it all about who Lippert is:
“Lippert recognizes that real change and real progress start with you, members of the RV community. That’s why we partner with RVers all across the country through programs like Lippert Scouts and Lippert Campground Projects. Lippert wants to do more to improve the RV experience, and RV Tech Bridge is the next step towards empowering you to be the solution by connecting you directly to the RV industry. We want to keep you camping today and in the future!”
Make sure to attend one of our session on the Future of RVing to find out more.
and in the future!”
Buy a raffle ticket for a chance to win a ride in our RV LIFE / Lippert Balloon. All proceeds benefit kids with cancer and allow them to go to camp. Learn more about this from Jennifer Mercer. She will be selling tickets each morning between 8am and 10am. Other details to be determined.
