Jeff texted me

So what’s the backstory on the camping change? Remember I live under a rock. Last to know.

From what I've heard, They kicked all on site camping out. I'm sure the task of supplying power and insurance cost drove the decision. Too bad, we enjoyed our many years there with the Hoots.

I hope everyone has a great time at the show. Be careful with the dangerously low temperatures!

Having attended for the previous five years, with the NEWMAR Rally Group, and the refusal of the Florida RV Ass'n. to let us have the really this year, I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING!! They may not miss me, BUT someone, somewhere, in the show will miss the more than $3,000, that I have averaged spending!
I too, bought a "Cricket", because it fit in the Terrain, but "Cricket" won't be there this year, but will be at another show, the following week!!
Heard through the grapevine there will be many, many, RV'ers not attending as all the "camping", rallies", etc, was shut down, & costs have doubled!!
I can and will find plenty of places to spend my money (Neal, is AMAZON listening?), and am showing my displeasure, by not spending a dime at the Tampa show!
Y'all have fun!!

Really a shame the people responsible will not be effected by your choice. Those most effected don't have a say in what was implemented.

Let us know how we can help. We help finance new units as well. MANY of the F & I people at dealerships use a "shotgun approach" with your credit. They take an application and flood the zone to all the lenders they use. This makes a mess.
We do a SOFT PULL first and see the full bureau without a ding or pull history. From there we make a riffle shot to the lender that has an apatite for your deal. Very simple and clean.
Let us know how we can help.
Thank you,
Ken

Newmar has a nice lineup at the show. We went through most of the models including the new super c up to the king air.

Nice looking when you are not going to buy a new coach

Lots of vendors in the two buildings where they are setup. Did get a few things in there including the TST system with new monitor and display to replace our aging TPMS setup.

6% more than last year.

75% more than I paid for mine three years ago.

 

[Jim]

So yeah, that's a lot of money! But the dollar isn't worth much these days and the new Dutch Stars are beautiful! Still, that's a bunch of cash! WTH, can't take it with you, right?

I hear @GlampDaddy has been serving up the Bourbon...and also he is the new owner of a brand new King Aire, likely due to said Bourbon.

Your intel is not correct. I considered the King Aire, but the way it was situated on the show lot made it difficult to exit. The Newell, however, was parked all by itself and easy to exit by way of the maintenance gate. The very nice sales guy called and said they wouldn't press charges if I returned it before midnight, in addition to replacing his really expensive bottle of bourbon. I took him at his word and got everything back where it belonged.

He lied, but I'm out on bail now.

Those of you that attended, what would be your thoughts, estimates, etc on CROWD size?
More, Less, about the same?
A vendor told me it attendance was down a good bit!!

Attendance was down as local news stating Nora Virus is rampant in Tampa, we stayed away
