Our guest will be Monika Geraci, RVIA Industry spokesperson and she will cover key items in this important industry overview of RV Owner Demographics.
info_outlineWe had great intentions last week but were overwhelmed with the amount of information we had to present to you . . . Our fans. We joked at the end of the show that we could have gone for another hour, so we thought we would! We are continuing our early show coverage with some great video clips we didn’t get on the show last week and have added another show to the mix – the Northeast RV & Camping Show that took place in Hartford last weekend.
There is other show activity I’m sure our fans are going to want to weigh in on tonight as we present Part Two of this popular topic. The Springfield RV & Camping Show is coming up soon – what’s going on with this one? There appears to be two entities competing for space and dollars from our neighbors to the North. The New Hampshire campground association is pitching their show in late March in Milford, NH and there is a new player in the mix – Superman Productions,, who is courting dealers and campgrounds to be in their show in the Bedford Sportsplex. Is this confusing dealers and fans? Let us know what you think!
