This is one of those "I wish I could go" type of things, but wow, they're about as far from me as you can get via dry land.I heard every major TC vendor will be there, I got an email saying Torklift is going all the way from here in PNW to there giving away freebees and coopins (Coopins - A subtle nod to Ron White). Love to get my hands on some of those coopins!I'd love to see a trip report from someone who's going. It is being touted as the 'The Worlds Largest RV Show"...Sept. 14-18

We'll be going. But, it's not much of a trip for us. We live about an hour away. :)

I live an hour away and will be avoiding the area like the plague.no easy way into, out of or around Hershey. as close as I plan on being is the PA turnpike. We were there last year. I think it took 1.5 hour to park AFTER we were in Hershey area. The show is overwhelming. I went to view specific RV's but most people want to walk through every RV. You get to here them criticizing everything as they let there kids run wild. Yes I guess i am am getting old.but my trade (delamanated 2011 Open Range 5er) is worthless :(, so no sense in putting up with the crowds.

Delivered a Wildwood Heritage Glen to the show Monday.

I'd love to go (and it's only about a 90 minute drive), but we're already going to a festival in the area on the same weekend. DW said we can't do both.

We went last year and will not be going this year. You really need to know what you want to focus on before you go. It is huge - we had a list of 5-6 brands we were interested in on the first day and then really narrowed down to one or two the second day. First day was semi-focused, second day was very focused. Lots of opportunity to spend big $$$ if you're serious about buying. Some good deals, some not so good. Great place to compare units side by side.And the crowds! And the parking lot!!! I'd say it is worth a trip once in a while but no way I'd go every year.

May run up to the show as it is only 4 miles from the house. Although, if it's hot I will probably pass. Go early to avoid the parking hassle. I have passed by the show grounds a few time in the last couple of days and have not seen any truck campers, doesn't mean they aren't there though.

Last year I saw Lance, but because truck campers are so small, it was a zoo trying to even get into them as they were full of people (who had no interest in buying a truck camper)
I think I saw Lance and Palamino on the list this year.

It's become the largest show. Especially in terms of sales according to manufacturers and dealers. They sell more RVs during Hershey than Pomona and Tampa shows combined. The reason they bring so many.

I have reservations for 2 nights at Hershey. Though still have to see if I can break away. Just about a 2-hour trip for me in any case.
