Cleveland, Ohio RV Supershow

Came home a little while ago from the RV Show. And...we did not buy. We enjoyed the show but were not tempted this time. It seemed like most dealers brought units with outside kitchens. We are not at all interested in those, even though many people love them. Our Cougar SAB26 has an outside burner and sink which is enough. We only use that at the beach when DH makes shrimp, clams, etc.

When spending many thousands of dollars is NOT THE TIME to make an impulsive decision. Good luck.

During WWII it was a bomber plant and built planes. They started building tanks in the fifties. Do you also know that at one time it was used to store soybeans?

I doubt it was at the IX Center (tank plant). GM built military equipment there until 1972. :B It became an exhibition hall in the eighties. If you attended an event earlier it was probably at Cleveland Public Hall which is much smaller.

Interesting, I've exhibited there(IX) several times and never knew the history. Thanks!

I've heard that before. Right before we bought our 2013 5th wheel.

Has to be better than the RV Supershow in Buffalo!!

Well that is how it starts. No saving you now. Good luck in your search just don't decide too quickly. Make sure it is the one you want at the price that you feel is fair.

We drove from DC back in the 60's to that show.....It was indoors but still cold.....Next week we will be going to the Tampa RV super show....I think there is suppose to be around 1600 rv's to look at. I have gone to everyone since this show started about 28 or so years ago. Every year I look at less and less units because of leg issues.....

Well RV show in January... Ohio... cold .. Winter.

IX center is the largest place to have a RV show in NE Ohio.
other wise I would have to drive 800 miles... south.

and did you know the IX Center used to be the factory for Battle Tanks in WWII?

I've been to the Cleveland Show, after visiting the Tampa show. Had a hard time seeing Cleveland as a supershow, since it all had to be inside, there just wasn't that much space, nor that. many dealers present. Kansas City actually did better.

I'm betting you are just looking....Ha!

I'm betting you will be just buying, LOL
