Florida RV Super Show

005
   We’re not planning on buying another motorhome but we decided to go to the RV show just to see what the hype was all about. This is the place to be if you’re thinking about buying a RV! There are hundreds of RVs to walk through from popups to Prevosts.  Popups, truck campers and hybrid trailers are not well represented but there are As, Bs, Cs, trailers and fifth wheels from many different manufacturers with a wide range of pricing.In addition to the RVs there are two vendor buildings where you can browse through all the offers from resorts and pick up needed or frivolous RV supplies.

   Handicapped parking for cars and RVs is fairly close to the entrance.  Wheelchair and scooter rentals are located just inside the entrance. The show grounds and the buildings are all accessible. The two RV manufacturers that will customize RVs to make them accessible, Winnebago and Born Free, do not have any accessible models to show but there is a new accessible model from Newmar.  Unfortunately we found it just as the show was closing for the day and didn’t get to tour it.

  I find it irritating that shows like this have a entrance fee but the convenience of having all the RVs in one place is helpful if you’re researching a purchase. The fee is $10.00 per person which is good for two days plus a fairgrounds parking fee of $5.00 for a car or $10.00 for a RV. If you decide to stay overnight an additional $15.00 is collected after the show closes but you don’t have to pay the $10.00 parking fee for the next day. The woman at the parking booth gave us this information. We didn’t stay overnight so I can’t verify the accuracy of it.  RV Show
