"Trailer Porn" - Atlantic City RV Show!

[Stefonius]

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.

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.

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.

When I was a young man I couldn't keep my eyes off of women.....

Now I can't keep my eyes off of RVs......not sure which costs me more money though 😉

Those shows are expensive. We were absolutely not in the market for a trailer, just making the winter pass. Saw a floor plan we really liked, dealer happened to have a very gently used 2 year old one and the rest is history.

We are up there for a concert tonight and might drop in to walk a few floorplans that we're interested in seeing firsthand. The decent dealers around us are 1 to 2 hours away, so it's nice when the trailers are so close.

We're hoping to be there on Sunday.

I will be in Puerto Rico this weekend with the wife, but my boss will be there. His dream girl is a 40 foot diesel pusher with 4 slides and solar panels from front to back

Oh I love porn. RV porn. Boat porn. Like boat porn best. Trouble is best boat porn shows cost $25-$30 to get in & even then you can't get to see the best ones without a reference, an invite or appointment.

At this point , we are planning on attending Saturday.... But we do have some things in the works that may pop up and stop us from attending...
If you go , stay warm and enjoy...

Well, if you're really going to do it, do it all the way! Turn ALL the "safe filters" off, and step inside a few motor homes too!

Not going this year, a little far to travel for us. We did purchase our HTT while at the Atlantic City RV Show back in 2005.
