Boston RV Show - 14 Jan 2023

Went to the Boston RV show yesterday.
Parking $25
Tickets $17 a person (Military are free with ID).
Food - Slim choices and expensive.

Plenty of all camper varieties and classes. I did notice the absence of any Coachmen products. "Sale" prices are sky high compared to 2.5 years ago when we got ours. Noticeably up about 15 to 20 percent.

Vendors - The accessory product vendors and campsite marketers had a limited presence. If there were 200 "spots" for them, only 50 filled.

Got there right as it opened at 10 AM. Normal crowd lining up at the entrance for admission. Left around 1:00 and the parking lot was packed, with significant line of cars trying to get in.

Overall a good day seeing new units but not the usual level of excitement of past years. JMHO! Would love to hear thoughts of anyone else that attended. Happy Camping.

Doesn't end until after Monday. You still have a chance to go.

My wife and I were there Saturday also. It was packed. Very little in the way of accessories, etc. Providence has a show coming up in February...We find it a little easier to absorb, and there is usually a good amount of vendors there. We are going to try to arrive a little later in the day, after the crowd dies down.
