Hershey show question.
Is the Hershey show pricing really that good? Especially on travel trailers. If you decided on a camper how long does it take to receive it.

I'm not sure where the rumor started about fantastic RV show pricing, but I've never seen it. When we were researching new campers in 2011 and 2012 we went to the Hershey show, the Maryland State Fair show and the Dulles Expo show. We looked at a lot of models and wrote down prices. None of them were any better than prices advertised on the dealers lots.
The Hershey show is local dealers bringing their own stock. They can set whatever prices they want to set. Some of them might offer decent deals, some of them might try to take advantage of the instant gratification crowd who are willing to pay more money right now because they see it.
Perhaps at the end of the show you might save a couple hundred dollars (however much it would cost the dealer to tow the trailer back to their lot) on a trailer that thousands of people have walked through, thousands of people have roughly yanked cabinet doors open, thousands of SWEATY people have plopped their butts down on the couch, etc. I'd rather pay $500 extra and get a new unit without all that wear and tear
If you are in the area anyways, head over to Keystone Mega RV Center in Greencastle, PA. They are a huge dealer with a wide variety of makes and models. They ordered me my trailer for only a few hundred dollars over RVOne.com's guaranteed low price. I was super happy with the price, the knowledge of the staff, the helpfulness and quality of service for some warranty issues.
Good luck, maybe I'll see you there Saturday!
