    I was just at the show on Wednesday. There are not as many truck campers this year as last year but still a decent selection. There are several Lance and a couple of Artic Fox campers in the main tented hall and then there is a secondary mini hall with the remaining brands (maybe 10 plus models) that is tucked away in the back. We actually got there by accident, thinking we had seen everything and then stumbled across this one additional room.


    We were there on Monday. I thought the show was a bit disappointing. The vendor area was a joke. Timeshares, Artificial turf for your home, cooking demo and stuff you see at any consumer trade show.

    It was cool going into the Eagle Cap 1165.

    We were there looking mainly at fifth wheels as we are thinking maybe in a year or so to add one to our TC for future long trips. Arctic fox didn't have a single 5th wheel trailer on display inside and only one outside in the rain. Looking through it I have to say that AF quality in 2017 didn't impress me. We spent quite a bit of time looking at Grand Design Reflections and so far seems to be the front runner for us quality vs. price.

    The model we are thinking of.
  • the list of pickup camper manufactures is amazing.

    right up the road from me in Hershey PA is a show billed as "the worlds largest RV show".
    I was there in 2015, only truck campers was Lance and maybe Palameno. Lance was so crowded you could not even get into them.

  • Wife and I will be there. Possibly Monday. Not in the market for a TC but considering adding a 5th wheel next year...
