Hershey show recommendations??

Here's the map for manufacturers displays. link

That should help a little.. been there the past 7 years. start at one end and work your way thru. there is always staff at the isles who could direct you.

good luck. btw we bought our new 5th wheel there last september

They are spread out per the dealer and manufacturers. It will take a while to look at everything, but the good part is toyhaulers stick out due to their size. Good luck.

We went a few years ago. Picked up our map at the gate and then headed to mainly the manufacturers we wanted to see. Some dealers carried many different lines.

As organized as I thought we were, we still spent most of the day there. Then were able to get back to the RV Park in MD shortly after dark.

Be sure to see the new Momentum from Grand Design....

Makes the others look like cheap imitations.

For $100K it better be nice! Looking at something like that is just depressing. Very nice TH! Cant wait to see it in person

Yes, the Momentum does look nice, but I gotta agree about the price! Not only that, but when you go that heavy, then you have to have a special (expensive also!) truck to pull it. These RVs can just get into too much money for something that's basically a toy - certainly not a necessity - for most of us. And here in PA, we cannot use it year-round.

We will be at the show on Saturday. Can't wait!!

I agree except for the point about camping year round.. I am in PA and camp year round which is why insulation values are so important. I do 80% of my 4 wheeling in the winter time which is why I want a TH with heated tanks etc. With that said, it really seems to me like an all or nothing type thing. I wish they would do something like a "Tradesmen" level ram truck. The Truck you are buying is exactly the same as the double priced Laramie with simply fewer creature comforts. Any time you go down in price on an RV they use lighter axels, smaller water heater, cheaper insulation, etc. I want to find a very well built RV with just a totally basic interior. I am going to look at as many as I can this Saturday in Hershey. Supposed to be mid 60's and sunny so perfect day for it!

I'm sure a 3/4 ton will pull it just fine. You didn't want to stop as well did you?

Hi 2008Wildcat!!!!! See you saturday!!!!

Well we ended up going to the show on Saturday. Very busy but a great day to walk around since it was cool. Cant believe how many RV's are there. The good news is I got to see all of my options or at least a model close enough to give us a good idea. The bad news is I am just as confused. They are all so nice and so expensive! Really liked some of the new Fuzion floor plans and options. The wireless remote for leveling, slides, awnings, and lights is just cool!! I think the pricing is interesting. They really try to sell you on the idea that these are the best prices but in reality they are no better then the discount RV places. Put some miles on the shoes that day for sure! Overall we enjoyed the show and really got a good feel. I have to say that for folks looking at soe of the less expensive 5er TH's the Torque's were nicer than I expected. From looking at picutres I really thought they would look cheap but they were not bad and general quality looked just as nice as others just with fewer options. Would love to hear from others that were there to see what you thought. Final thought... We were there to look for 5th wheel toy haulers and we were there from 10:30am to 4pm. We checked out maybe 4 or 5 5th wheels along the way just becuase... I cant imagine going to that show if you had no plan of what you were looking for and wanted to see as many as possible. Would take you a few days for sure.
