Looking for some real world input on taking a fantasy rv trip. Some questions are:
When the spots are divvied up, how are they given out ?
I tow my car on a tow dolly and it would be a pain without a pull through.
Both DW and I are limited to how much walking we can do, Would that be a problem.
We would be first timers with the group, Is every treated equal?

Just asking.

We’ve been to Alaska, Kentucky Derby and the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Each “trip” has an activity rating in the description. Site assignments are based on rig size. Accommodations take handicap into consideration when possible. We have enjoyed every minute of every trip. Wagon Master/tail gunners could not have been more helpful. Get the Fantasy catalogue and call them with any questions.

If you have special requirements then let them know - they'll do what they can to accomodate you. We did their Washington DC Tour, and the area of the Cherry Hill RV Park where we were parked were all back-in spots but if the park has pull-throughs available I'm sure they'll work with you.

If they have tours scheduled as part of the package then you'll be on a well-appointed tour bus. The tour might involve considerable walking, such as in the National Mall in Washington DC, but, again, they'll work with you to accomodate your needs as much as possible. Their tour descriptions usually give you an idea of how strenuous they are.

As a first-timer you'll be recognized by them, and everyone on the tour - they treat ALL their clients as royalty! As has been said - decide on the tour you want and give them a call. They have real humans answering the phone and they will happily answer ALL your questions.

We are taking our first tour this summer to Canadian Maritimes.

We just saw the presentation by Fantasy on the last RV’ers show. We are also very interested but are unsure how they handle travel with pets. I have sent them an email with questions. Good to see all the positive reviews here in this thread. Will keep watching as we are very interested as well.

We're going to do our first caravan this summer and are really looking forward to it. We have friends who did their first Rally and Caravan last year. They were so enthusiastic in their reviews of both experiences that we were encouraged to sign up for our first. Our friends did another longer caravan this summer and were extremely happy with the whole experience again. I wish I could give you personal experience, but I'm really looking forward to this summer.

The pet will be in your RV and Fantasy doesn't control what you have in your RV. The only consideration would be if the tour/caravan includes an all-day charter bus excursion - your pet would be locked away in your RV while you are away. If the pet is a registered service animal then it would be with you in the charter bus, unless your registered service animal was a Shetland Pony, or Llama, or something...

They do have some tours that include overnight excursions into the wilderness (polar bear viewing in Churchill, Manitoba being one) - can your pet survive for 2 days alone in your RV?

We have done a couple of Fantasy RV Tours with our 2 dogs. (Polar Bear and Cajun Tours) On the Polar Bear Tour, they arranged for the Manager of the campground to walk and feed our dogs (we tipped her for that). Cajun Tour did not have any all day excursions so no help was needed. They can accomodate pets since most of us travel with them.
