It’s Time to Attend the 2018 RV Shows!
RV Shows are a great
place to begin your search for local reputable RV dealers. Local RV Shows are generally scheduled for January and
February in the Northwestern PA and Eastern Ohio when dealerships are slowest.
RV Shows provide you
the opportunity to see newest models and talk to dealerships that you may not
have heard of, and reduce your expenses and time by not having to drive to many
different dealerships.
It’s one stop RV shopping. As a customer you can see and compare prices
of like models, brands, layouts, and more with one stop shopping. There
is always a huge range of quality and prices.
Finding the Right RV
When comparing units,
make sure you’re comparing the prices of like models of differing brands.
One RV may look like another one, but you need to compare the construction, included
equipment, options, and features they both have to offer. See who offers the
best deal but remember if the dealer isn’t reputable or isn’t equipped to work
on the RV, or is located too far away to conveniently return the RV for
service, your purchase may not turn out to be the best deal. Don’t be
afraid to talk with other RVers at the show. Many of these people have years of
RV experience and knowledge of different products and dealerships. Most
will be honest and tell you when and where they’ve gotten the best deals &
service.
Buying an RV from a
local reputable dealer insures you the best possible service, convenience, and
shortest distance to travel for maintenance, repairs, & warranty
work. It is always a good idea to visit the dealership’s physical
location before you buy, check out their service department, service hours,
etc. In addition, many RV dealers offer show discounts and sometimes
manufacturer rebates are available. So not only do you save money with
the one stop shopping, but there are huge savings in the purchase prices!
RV shows sometimes include educational seminars, entertainment, and raffles for
door prizes, free RVs, and more! So there
are a lot of potential gains to attending!
Show specials also sometimes include discounts or coupons from
campgrounds. So, your new RV sometimes comes with savings to use it, too!

Campgrounds and RV Parks Featured
RV shows aren’t just
for RV dealers to showcase new and used RVs. RV shows offer a wealth of
information on the whole RVing industry. Most campgrounds or RV resorts
are slow or closed for the winter. RV shows allow campgrounds to showcase
new activities, special events, new amenities & extended stay (aka seasonal
camping) availability to potential campers. Make sure you stop by their
booths and find new places to explore and exciting things to do with your
family this summer!
Other Camping Accessories

information for aftermarket RV products, RV accessories, RVing insurance,
Camping or RVing Clubs, Discount Clubs, pick up brochures, camping directories
for your state and other states, or the free KOA directory for the
whole USA and Canada and more!
Tent Camping and Cabin Vacations Information
You don’t even have to
own an RV to enjoy camping or go to the RV Shows! Even if you don’t intend to buy an RV, you
can learn about cabin camping or pick up information about campgrounds for tent
camping!
Many people think of a
camping vacation as ‘roughing it” with a tent, on the ground, in the rain, and
a less than pleasurable vacation. This is no longer the case. For about
the price of a hotel room, most campgrounds are now offering cabin rentals.
Prices for the cabin rentals vary by campground and the amenities
offered. “Camping cabins” are generally the least expensive because they
offer the fewest amenities. They are generally one room with beds and a
table. Cottage Cabins sleep 2-4 people may offer kitchenettes, or a few
more amenities. Deluxe cabins are lodges with deluxe facilities like multiple
bedrooms, full kitchens, and bathrooms. There is no requirement to own an
RV to have a family fun camping vacation! You can enjoy the luxury of
RVing with a camping vacation in a cabin and not miss any of the campground
recreation programs and planned activities!
Why not pack up the
family for a fun winter-day activity and attend one of the local RV shows in
your area. Invite a friend to come along, and enjoy a day of looking
forward to a summer camping season filled with friends & fun at these RV
Shows!
