MD RV Show - MD State Fairgrounds - February 19, 2017

In stark contrast to our trip to Tampa for the RV Supershow, for this trip, we were looking for a smaller trailer. My mom is dabbling with the idea of getting something she could potentially full time in, but isn't really sure where to start. So, she asked us to come with her. It's an RV show & my momma - how could we say no?!

The Maryland RV Show is held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, MD. Since it's in February, pretty much everything is inside.

When you get to the fairgrounds, you'll park in their parking lot. Pretty ample parking. Then, you walk down to the building where the show is held. You can buy your tickets online or at the show. If you buy them online, it'll save you some time getting in.

Having been to the Hershey RV Show & the Tampa RV Show (the month before this!), we were a bit disappointed with the selection of RVs. That being said, for an indoor show, they had a wide variety of units.

We were specifically looking for smaller RVs under the $20k mark. That really narrows down the field! We did find units that fit the bill, but several of the ones that were advertised they'd be there weren't (like, we never did find the Airstreams - out of budget, but just wanted to wander through).

We chatted with several of the campground people at the booths, which was nice. At some of the larger shows, they don't always have the time to talk.

We headed to Famous Dave's for lunch and then returned to the show to do "one last loop" before heading home. Overall, we found a few units that we thought may work for the situation we were looking for - but not everything we wanted to look at was there.
