The Escapees RV Club has announced the return of its largest annual event, the Xscapers Annual Bash, which will take place Jan. 10–18, 2026, in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
The nine-day program will bring together RVers from across the country for education, entertainment, and community-building.
Themed “Get Your Kicks at Bash ’26,” the 2026 gathering will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Route 66.
The event will celebrate the highway’s cultural history while maintaining the energetic and inclusive atmosphere that has made the Bash a central tradition for the RV community.
The Xscapers Annual Bash is designed for RVers of all backgrounds, including full- and part-time travelers, solo nomads, digital workers, families, and weekend adventurers. The event combines daytime learning sessions with evening social programming.
Plans include seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities that cover topics such as RV maintenance, travel technology, and life on the road.
Families will have access to children’s activities, while solo travelers and professionals will be offered tailored opportunities to connect with others.
Entertainment will also feature concerts, themed parties, and community activities held under the desert sky.
“Bash is unlike any other RV rally — it’s where people who choose life on the road come together to forge friendships and embrace adventure,” said Joel Holland, CEO of Harvest Hosts and Escapees RV Club.
“The Route 66 theme gives us a chance to honor the history of the open road while building new traditions for the next generation of RVers,” Holland added.
Event amenities will include food trucks, Wi-Fi, showers, water and dump stations, and honey wagon services.
Corporate sponsors are also expected to play a significant role in the 2026 program. Sponsorship opportunities include hosting seminars, joining the “lot crawl,” and engaging directly with attendees to promote products and services.
