I like RV shows because my local dealers lock all their RVs and I need a salesperson to go along with me if I am at their lot. At RV shows you can look, poke, compare, ask questions, measure, etc. One of the things I discovered at the last RV show we attended, was that some manufacturers were making it mighty difficult to winterize their motorhomes (as a Michigan resident, this is critical stuff). We were specifically looking at smaller Class c's. It was also astounding that several salespersons had no clue what I was asking about.....
