We see you. You are a seasoned RV traveler. You’ve been doing this for years. Hitching up, breaking down, and leveling up. Class A rig, versus Class C rig? No problem. You can rattle off the difference faster than two shakes of a lamb’s tale. The difference between fresh, grey, and black water tanks? Say no more…you can not only explain it to a newbie, but you can help them hook up the right hoses to the right drain pipes before they can set out the “Welcome To Our Home Away From Home” doormat.
Next, we have the greenhorns. You might be prepping to be a weekend warrior, or hoping to be a full-time RV travel family down the road…but you have a lot to learn and you know it. You aren’t sure what “boondocking” means, and setting up your new “fiver” isn’t going as smoothly as they said it would on the sales lot. To make matters worse, a rare winter storm is heading for the South, and winterizing your shiny new investment sounds more impossible than being a “long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs”…that’s a term you just heard from Bob in site #305.
Regardless of where you land on the experience continuum of RV and camper traveling enthusiasts, there are plenty of reasons to stop by RV Shows when they come to a town near you. Let’s take a look at the top six reasons these events can be beneficial to anyone interested in RV’s and Camping.
Top Six Reasons RV Enthusiasts Should Go To An RV Show
#1: Low Pressure Shopping and Learning Environment
It’s no secret that customers are often intimidated and frustrated when they are under high pressure to make decisions about large purchases. Potential clients are also let-down when they are waiting in long lines or in a large groups to talk to someone about a product, place, or experience they are interested in. RV Shows offer clients a relaxed, free-flowing environment to browse exhibits, walk through RV’s, and talk to professionals about their questions or interests…without being cornered or looked over.
#2: Multiple Dealerships Provide Greater Comparison Shopping
This is an obvious reason many go to these events. Multiple dealerships with a varied selection of brands, models, and floor plans allows potential buyers to easily compare their wants and needs with prices offered by competing dealers. This is a huge perk to help you save money and travel time spent driving around from dealer to dealer!
#3: Specials Deals and Packages
Most dealerships and vendors offer “Show Only” prices and promotional packages for their products or experiences! Not to mention the free swag you can snag at booths, and the prizes you can win for stopping by vendors and being entered into drawings!
#4: Access To Industry Experts
RV shows are a mecca for experts and professionals from all areas of the RV and Camping Industry. You can have access to the “best of the best” to answer your questions and to help drive your decisions and plans. Whether you are new to the RV life, or a pro just needing to streamline things, there is something for everyone at an RV show!
#5: New Products and Technology
Many of the “new-fangled” products and ground-breaking technologies in the Outdoor Hospitality Industry are debuted at these RV shows! You can also have access to seminars and workshops that allow you to test products or learn about new ideas. This is one of the most useful reasons for travelers to go to these events, regardless of your level of skill.
#6: Exhibitors From Campgrounds, RV Parks, and Outdoor Experience Hosts
Last, but certainly not least, you can meet owners and team members from all the best RV parks and campgrounds! (Ahem, Greensport RV Park!) Learn about new parks you’ve never visited, or learn about all the things that local campgrounds offer that might have expanded since your last visit. In many cases, you can win free stays, products, or get discounts when you book from the show! Also meet other vendors that provide outdoor experiences for all ages and levels of thrill-seeking.
