"Trailer Porn" - Atlantic City RV Show!

We're going to the Atlantic City RV Show this weekend (Feb. 13th, to be precise). Wandering around in big new trailers and getting excited about what we want but probably can't afford is our goal. DW calls it "looking at Trailer Porn".

Are any other forum members going to be in attendance?

My fervent hope is that we'll find the perfect fifth wheel to replace our current unit. After four years, the list of things that annoy us about it is getting long.
  • I found a really nice motorhome at the Tampa show...I was tempted by the "porn" but I just didn't have the $2,100,000 it took to live happily ever after.

    We went, we saw, we were conquered. After walking through every fifth wheel in the entire show, we found not one that would work for us. A lot of the trailers had one nice room and the rest was seemingly designed on a Friday afternoon while staring at the time clock.

    Maybe we'll find something more useful at Hershey. Or maybe we'll find a company that will do a custom floor plan.


    We made it out on Saturday and AC is on the small side of shows. We were hoping to see some creative new ideas, but they just weren't there. They didn't have much in the way of cool smaller TT's which is specifically what we were there to look at. I also noticed that there were no Truck Campers on the show floor. We love doing small RV shows, but pickings were slim for sure in AC. Maybe Hershey has ruined us? We'll see when we go to the Oaks show in March.
