The RV shows
There is something for everyone at an RV show. The shows at Harrisburg and at Tampa are two of the largest in the USA. You'll find all the makes and models of RVs on display, travel trailers, motorhomes, conversion vans, pop-ups, and truck campers. Plus RV accessories, campground information, and publications, and free seminars.

You'll find RV shows in just about every state. Here are just two of the really big ones I've been truly impressed with:

Harrisburg RV Show
You'll find dixieland bands, clowns, plus free seminars led by Gaylord Maxwell and Sharlene Minshall; plus free overnight RV parking for hundreds of rigs (without hookups). (717)774-3470.

Tampa RV Show
You'll be entertained by dixieland bands, clowns, and by the famous balloon-blowing goat. You'll enjoy free seminars by Joe and Vicky Kieva. Check out the "Super Rally", 4 nights of camping on the fairgrounds including electricity, nightly entertainment, and 5 days admission to the RV show for one low price. Contact Florida RV Trade Assn. (813)684-7882. 1-888-352-7846. (E-mail)
