The different types of RV shows
Consumer RV shows
When you think of an RV show, you probably think of the large RV shows and expos with hundreds or thousands of recreational vehicles brought in by area dealers and RV manufacturers. These big shows are open to the public and typically have food and drinks for sale, a camping and RV-centered vendor expo, and educational seminars. Many consumer RV shows sell tickets and charge for parking to attend the event.
Outdoor and adventure shows and expos
Outdoor and adventure recreation shows feature off-road RVs, trailers, overland vehicles, and camping gear. These shows appeal to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts, regardless of the type of vehicle they may use to get out, off the grid, and explore.
These shows are open to the public and often have food and drinks for sale, a camping-centered vendor expo, educational seminars, on-site camping, social activities, and entertainment. The cost to camp or attend after-hour events is normally excluded from general admission or parking tickets.

Regional, seasonal, or specialty RV shows
These shows cater to a local market and are great for attendees who want to see a variety of new and used RVs for sale. One or more local dealers host these smaller RV shows, and because they are smaller, they may take place a few times a year. Because these RV shows are just an extension of dealer stock, they are free to attend and usually don't have food or vendors.
Tips for attending an RV show
Buy your tickets early
Many RV shows have moved to online ticket sales to make show day easier for dealers, vendors, and attendees. Before you pay full price for a ticket, find out what kind of discounts the show offers for the military, seniors, RV clubs, and early birds. You could save yourself both time and money.
Avoid peak times
Want to avoid crowds? Attend the show when other attendees are heading home for dinner. Evening visits make it easier to tour RVs, chat with dealers and manufacturers, purchase camping gear, and avoid long lines at the food vendors.
Scope out parking
Before heading to the show, research where you'll park and how much it may cost. At large RV shows and expos, you may have to park off-site and take a shuttle to the event. While most RV shows have accessible parking close to the venue — spots can fill up quickly — so it's good to have a backup plan. Don't forget to bring cash because, at most big RV events, parking attendants only take cash payments.
Attend a seminar
Take advantage of seminars because industry professionals come from all corners of the RV world to teach classes at larger RV shows. At some of the biggest shows in the country, you can attend a how-to seminar or even find a meet-and-greet with your favorite RV YouTubers. Check the event website or show guide to find more information on seminars.
Reserve wheelchairs or scooters
Major RV shows typically offer on-site wheelchair and scooter rentals. Reserve your mobility aid online before the show to ensure you'll have what you need to get around the show comfortably.
Create an itinerary
Large RV shows can be overwhelming. Before you walk through the show, devise a game plan and write down your must-visit spots. If you lose track of your plan or get distracted while at the show, you can refer back to your notes!
Familiarize yourself with show policies
Before going to the show, visit the event's website to familiarize yourself with its policies. Some shows permit outside food and water, while others do not. If you require further assistance, contact the event planners to arrive well-prepared.
Dress for the weather
To make the most of your RV show, dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather, have a refillable water bottle on hand, and wear suitable footwear for walking. Bring sunscreen, a hat, a light jacket or layer, and an umbrella just in case you need them.
