1. Yes, it is true...you can buy a 5th wheel for about 1/2 the cost of the truck you will need to tug it.
2. Yes, dear...that trailer has a low-low payment of $XXXX, the same we paid on ours. Ours???? 60 months. That one...144 months.
3. Too many bunks, too many toy haulers. We need neither, would liked to have seen more trailers for two, that were not 15' long.
4. Not enough accessory vendors. I wanted to see the latest must have gadgets. Where were all the camping goodies?????
5. Too many non-RV related vendors. If I want to buy windows or gutter guards...I will go to the "HOME SHOW".
6. Being a trailer guy....can one of you MH guys explain to me why the dash board is two feet wide. I stood behind the wheel and still could not reach the windshield. Why all that space???? I can reach the windsheild in a tractor-trailer from the seat, just by leaning forward.

Atlanta's first one of the year was last weekend, very similar thoughts: lots of Toy Haulers with a lot of bells & whistles, multiple porches, rooms, TV's, etc.... lots of bunk options.
Not many REAL RV accessories, and a lot of home improvement pushing sales people, windows, gutter guards, I always tell them I live in a RV!
Changes this year --- not a whole lot -
Still fun to attend, dream a little, entertaining hearing non-Rv folks discuss units, entertaining hearing Sales pitches....
Had a guy in in large toyhauler, ask if his Toyota pathfinder could pull it.........and I believe he was serious.
Saw a sales guy hang from a cabinet above a door, to show how strong it was!
