Hershey rv show

They advertise I think nine football fields of rvs. We are down to a short list of bunkhouse fifth wheels most are forest river brand but some are not. Without traveling across country to see them was wondering if the show may be worth one six hour trip and a motel rooms for a couple days. Thoughts on the show if you have been before. Tia

We have a 4 hour drive, and have done the the show the last 4 years. It is worth the travel. We put a deposit down on our SOB 5th wheel last year, and picked it up this April after ordering it in February. The show prices are good.

If you are looking for particular models, then go to the show website, check what dealership shows that brand, then contact the dealership to see if they will bring that model to the show. We found the dealers like to sometimes bring only the bigger units.

You may find the perfect unit there that you haven't seen before.

One of the best shows in the country. If you are looking and want to see all that is offered, this place has them.

We go just to see what trends or changes from year to year but we are lucky as we're only a couple hours away.

The Hershey RV Show is something like the 6th largest convention of any type anywhere in the U.S. every year. That in itself makes it Huge! Have yet to go myself and wondered if there is adequate camping facilities in the area to make the trip down in the RV. My good friend was looking for a rear living pull behind last year and found the perfect floor plan and price at the Hershey Show with RVONE, put a deposit down and finished up everything at the local dealership.

Camping spots in the surrounding areas fill quickly during the show unless you don't mind being a an hour or so out.
You better be thinking of making reservations now.
