Pomona RV Show - First Impressions?

[2bzy2c]

The Pomona RV show started on the 10th. Has anyone gone, and if so, what were your impressions? I am hoping that with the perceived "Improved" economy things might be bigger and better.

Just finished 1 1/2 days at the show and found it to be well worth the drive. I did find the vendors tent to be lacking but did find some 90 degree quick disconnects for our cable tv connection so that was nice. Also learned my Flag Pole Buddy brackets have a lifetime warranty (which I didn't know). :C

Other things I learned.

1. Your truck's payload capacity has nothing to with the fifth wheel you can pull. It only has to do with the amount of weight you can put in the truck :h

2. If your vehicle manufacturer states you have a 16200 lb fifth wheel towing capacity (as I do with my 250), then who am I to question them as they know better than I :S

3. It's going to become illegal to put LT tires on trailers so everyone will be changing to Westlake's if they want the best.

Heading back home tomorrow but did enjoy the show!

J-Rooster just take a back pack. I had a water bottle hanging off my belt didn't say anything about bringing my own drinks.

Lots and Lots of RV's
Also a lot had "Sold" on them
As some others have said, the tent is relatively sparse in products.

Crowd was light and weather was nice.

Went back and checked and the coupon I have was sent via an email from the California RV Show, probably had my email from a previous show when entering the drawing they have at the entrance. Sorry for the incorrect information.

Didn't find one on the site, have a link?

2 for 1 coupon

Thanks for the 2013 coupon. Have one for this year? :B

Oops, sorry. Web site said for this year so didn't check the coupon date. Best other one I could find was for a dollar off. Wouldn't hurt to try that one. They might not notice. :S

What year is your Shelby? I never met Carroll but we exchanged e-mails several times before he died! I love those cars!

I don't think it's a real one. Being Admin doesn't pay that well.

Was there yesterday, went specifically to look at 6 different Class A DP manufactures, Monaco, American Coach, Entegra Coach, Newmar, Itasca/Winnebago and Tiffin.
Was able to talk with Bob Tiffin for a bit. All 6 manufactures had plenty of inventory to check out. The parking seemed to be fuller than in years past. The product tent was disappointing as always not much to see. Make sure you get the coupon off the WEB for buy one admission and get one free and save 10 dollars. Just looking through those 6 manufactures took about 4 hours, so there is a lot to see if looking at other manufactures and or towables.

We went on the 10th. Heavy presence by Richardson's RV, Giant RV, Mike Thompson's RV, and Camping World. We were looking at Class C's and Class A's. Lance TC's were there and surprised at the large crowd. Actually had some of the TC's loaded onto Ford F350's.

Not a lot of brochure's handed out. A little disappointing. The vendor tent was disappointing and hot. Shuttle wasn't running when we showed up and was a little bit of a walk.

Show any form of military or VA card and your in for free. We didn't eat there and were able to bring in our own drinks.
