Hershey RV Show, Sept 2017

This year's trip to Hershey was kind of a last minute decision. Mom & I went on Friday looking for units for her/us (girl camper!) and Jon & I.

Overall, we were a bit disappointed with this year's show. We saw almost everything on our two lists, but there were a few very notable units missing. I've been to enough of these shows to know that this was to be expected. There also seemed to be a bit of a movement away from many of the smaller trailers back towards the larger units. There were a few smaller 5th wheels that were great to look at (specifically Winnebago's new line).

We found a couple of A-liners that we kind of liked. Specifically a model that had two twin beds. Perfect for if mom & I were camping together! We looked at the Little Guy Max & both decided it just wasn't for us. The Lance 1475 is another great option - but really only for 1 person OR a couple. Not great for a mom/daughter camping duo.

The bigger units we were looking at are all dreams. Jon and I are trying to figure out the direction we'd like to move in a few years. We LOVE our Brave, but at some point won't want the maintenance of that third engine any more. We're debating a travel trailer or a 5th wheel. We'll figure it out & have plenty of time to do so. We've got other things to pay off before we worry about getting a truck & trailer of any kind again!

Mom & I ran into Stephanie of RVFTA and chatted with her a little bit. I enjoyed seeing her (it'd been about a month since I had last seen her) & introducing her to my mom. Sorry we missed Jeremy though!
