Today I am interviewing the woman responsible for organizing the largest RV show in the country, and she explains why people need to attend this year’s show.
Heather Leach is the executive director of the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Association. The organization puts on America’s Largest RV Show (aka the Hershey RV Show), which takes place Sept. 11 to 15 at the Giant Center in Hershey.
The show is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, and it is expecting to draw upward of 50,000 people during the five-day event.
Scattered over 1 million square feet of exhibit space, there are more than 1,500 RVs on display from 40 manufacturers. In addition, there are more than 170 booth vendors offering a variety of RV products and services.
I have known Heather for many years. She was instrumental in growing the event into one of the largest RV shows in America.
America’s Largest RV Show is a bellwether event in the RV industry. It is the first consumer show to display the newest RV models being released by RV manufacturers.
This year’s show features an opportunity for people to meet with dozens of big RV influencers. Many of them have websites, blogs, podcasts and YouTube channels focused on serving the information needs of RVers.
There are also classes and seminars scheduled every hour of every day. The topics range from buying an RV, fixing one, and traveling in an RV. There are also booths for campgrounds and big tourist destinations — and those places often hire Workampers.
Admission prices range from $7 to $17 for a day pass. However, a three-day pass sells for $25 to get admission Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Children under 12 are admitted free. All tickets must be purchased online.
Best of all, parking is free – even for your RV – while you’re attending the show.
