Yersterday was a good day.

We went to the Richmond, VA RV show, and I returned home not salivating over a new RV. My wallet gets nervous when I begin to salivate over another RV.

My current Koala would be perfect, if it were about 4 feet longer and also had a dinette.

It is always a good time going to the RV shows just to see the new floor plans and new TT's especially when you live in the Midwest and it's 15*F and you have the camping bug. I've been forbidden by my wife to go to our local RV dealer's shows that are in the summer time. I seem to buy a new TT each time I go. 🙂

Last time we went to a show we came back loving ours even more. Some floor plans are just plain weird lately.

We went to the local show a couple of weeks ago. We saw some interesting things like the front living room but we did not care for the rest of the trailer. Saw some nice kitchens too. Just reinforced we have the right trailer for us. Still have a couple of things I'd like to do to ours, like chairs instead of the couch and changing the 2 steps for 3 steps going up to the master bedroom but nothing worth changing trailers for.

Don't understand why they skimp on night stands next to the bed. 40' of trailer and still no night stands. Oh well guess it's not a priority for most people.

We bought ours TT used because we did not want to go into debt. It took about two years of saving and looking to decide exactly what we wanted.

There are very few items that depreciate as much as a TT for no more use than they get. We found a mint condition three year old rig with the floor plan we wanted, for 25% less than a similar "show special" unit on sale at the RV show.

It is not that we got such a good deal; it is the fact that TTs simply do not hold their value very long, so the previous owner took the hit.

Unless you are an avid camper of full timer, I do not see how to justify going into debt on something that depreciates so rapidly.

I'm getting ready to head out today to the largest RV show in central Florida!

Not really worried about buying a new MH......more worried about how much I am going to spend on all those 'have to have' RV doodads at all the vendor booths!

Largest RV Show in Central Florida Returns to the Florida Horse Park
There will be more than 400 RV units representing more than 150 manufacturers and suppliers on display.

“This year’s show will have everything from the smallest folding tent camper to the largest motorhomes on the market,” said FRVTA’s Marketing Director David Kelly. “Not only have RVs on display, there will also be representatives from campgrounds, camping clubs, RV resorts, RV financing and RV insurance. Everything for both the most experienced RVer and first-time buyer.”.....

went to the RV show in Colorado Springs, last weekend. But none of them have what mine has, a paid off title. So with that said I am happy with all 22 feet of my fun finder.

My parents went yesterday to the Birch Run (MI) show. When I checked in last night, mom said a lot of beautiful TT's but dad didn't find anything he liked more than the Cedar Creek they have.....that was worth going into debt over lol.
