I hope y'all don't get tired of me asking these incessant questions. You guys have been a big help to a total green horn.I'm really interested in a Dutch Star3736, however my DW is blown away with the looks of a Allegro Bus 37AP. (I suspect she'll be the one who makes the final decision.) So far we've only looked at brochures and haven't found either one of those floor plans at the dealerships. The local dealerships show at out RV shows, but I need some suggestions on the larger shows where the manufacturers are there. Thanks for your help.jg6182

Next really big show is probably the Florida Supershow in Tampa. But manufacturers don't bring every model to the show, what is there is more like new stock for the dealers, and it will mostly be what the dealers want to carry.Some time after the Tampa show, there will be a big show in Houston, but what shows up there will mostly be stock ordered by regional dealers selling at the show.One of the problems finding specific floorplans from brochures at the dealerships is that some floorplans don't get made until a dealer orders them. For some manufacturers, there will be models in the brochure for which only a few examples were made, and in some cases something in the brochure didn't get manufactured because the factory failed to convince a dealer to buy it, and no customer ordered it. At the level of DutchStar and Allegro Bus, most coaches are custom made on customer orders. Dealers will stock only what buyers have been ordering, with colors and options that move well.

If you contact the manufacturer they should be able to tell you where you can find one to see. It may require you to do some traveling.

The largest RV Show in the USA is the Hershey RV Show, Hershey PA. The 2014 show will be September 10 - 14, 2014. Almost every RV manufacturer displays there showing nearly every model they make.

Thanks guys. Looks like a trip to Nappannee or Red Bay is in our immediate future.
