RV Shows are a great place to begin your search for local reputable RV dealers. Most local RV Shows are scheduled during winter and early spring months when dealerships are slow.
RV Shows provide you the opportunity to see newest models and talk to dealerships that you may not have heard of, and reduces your expenses, and time by not having to drive to different dealerships. As a customer you can see and compare prices, brands, layouts, and more with one stop shopping. However, there is always a huge range of quality & prices. So 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 options, construction, equipment, and features they both have to offer. See who offers the best deal but remember if the dealer doesn’t provide RV Service or is located too far away to conveniently return the RV for service, your purchase may not turn out to be the best deal on the end.
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!
Show specials also sometimes include discounts or coupons from campgrounds. So, your new RV sometimes comes with savings to use it, too!
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 & RV resorts are slow or closed for the winter. The RV show allows campgrounds to showcase new activities, special events, new amenities & long-term availability to potential campers.
It’s a great time to seek out new places to visit, whether it’s with your RV or tent! Many campgrounds provide discounts at RV Shows, so it’s a great way to get some special offers on a weekend or week-long vacation! So make sure you stop by their booths and find new places to explore and exciting things to do with your family this summer!
If you’re thinking about buying an RV, but aren’t sure how well your family would receive camping and owning one, or if your family isn’t in love with the tent camping, sleeping on the ground kind of camping, why not visit the RV show and check out cabins at local campgrounds? Cabin camping allows non-RVers to try camping, and see if they enjoy the outdoor experience without all the costs! And cabins come from very inexpensive called “primitive cabins” that have minimal amenities, to full service cabins that have kitchens, multiple rooms, and full amenities.
You can also find information for aftermarket RV products, RV accessories, clubs, RVing insurance, and more! Even if you don’t intend to by an RV, you can learn about Cabin & tent camping, cookware, the RVing industry, and retirement communities for RVers. RVing is changing the way people are retiring by allowing them the ability to live in the south for half of the year and in the north for the other half.
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:
