RV addiction surfaces in show season

Who attends an RV show? Unless I am looking to buy an RV, why bother going?
The answers to those questions would vary with each person you ask. That’s because there are lots of reasons to attend an RV show and many people who enjoy them. Whether you go camping with a tent or drive a diesel pusher, there are always more things to learn. If you have never tried camping, it is a good place to gain insight as to why some people enjoy it so much.
The obvious stars of the show are the RVs. They are the latest models, and keep one up to date on layouts and innovations. There are pop-ups, travel trailers, fifth wheels and motorhomes.
There may be a distant look on the faces of many viewers. Those folks are probably the avid RVers who are dreaming about the coming camping season. They are growing anxious to be out in their home on wheels.
But there is much more to an RV show than the vehicles. The “trade show” booths cover a variety of topics: RV clubs, travel destinations, waste system products, protective coatings, insurance, and more. Company representatives will provide accurate, up-to-date information on their products or camping destinations.
The RV show is where you discover the latest gadgets for living in a small space. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new will come on the market. Most accessories are available at special show pricing, so it is a great time to accumulate some items on a wish list.
The larger shows, such as those in Edmonton or Calgary, feature “Lifestyle Theatre” seminars as well. Presentations are about 30 minutes long, making for a nice rest amid viewing the units. Topics cover solar panels, towing and hitch weights, RV Safety, customs information, travel destinations, and even the correct procedure for dumping tanks.
Meeting other RVers and sharing stories is always fun, and there are plenty of opportunities to do so at any RV show. Whether it is with a display host or with other attendees, there are always questions to be answered and ideas to share. Why make all the mistakes yourself when lessons can be learned from the experience of others?
 The current season of RV shows is in full swing. See you at the show!
