Multiple RV dealers, a daily door prize, and a chance to take your RV research journey up a whole new level. The Tampa Bay RV Summer Show is an all-around win.
Let’s be clear: There are a lot of great reasons to head down to Tampa in June. Warm weather and bright beaches? Check. Thrilling theme parks by day and tantalizing night life after dark? You bet. But don’t forget to keep the Tampa Bay RV Summer Show near the top of your to-see-in-Tampa list.
The Florida State Fairgrounds kick things off at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 6, and continue through Sunday, June 9, giving you an awesome opportunity to stop and shop multiple RV models in a sea of RV dealers.
Here’s why the Tampa Bay RV Summer Show is the perfect opportunity for an RV shopping spree — even if you’re just window shopping.
Less Crowds — but Still Lots of RVs
Although it’s the very same location as the annual Florida RV SuperShow that’s hosted in January, the scale is much different. Shoppers still get the full RV show experience — but with a more medium-sized crowd. Attendance for the Tampa Bay RV Summer Show projects closer to 7,500 than the 75,000 plus common at the winter SuperShow.
Not everybody loves the massive crowd of a SuperShow. (Getting away from the crowd is why a lot of us RV!) So, the more manageable size of the Tampa show is absolutely goldilocks for lots of folks. And by that, we mean it’s just right.
Multiple RV Dealers in One Location
The smaller scale also has another big benefit: Less competition for time dealing directly with RV dealers. And, as with any show, there’s the huge convenience of having multiple RV dealers in one place. You can compare models and prices, floorplans and features — all in-person. That puts you at a huge advantage as an RV buyer.
Here are the RV dealers who will have inventory on-site in Tampa:
- Blue Compass
- General RV Center
- Gerzeny’s RV World
- Gulf Atlantic Cottages
- Lazydays RV
A Chance to Take Your Research Offscreen
Look, we’d be the last people in the world to criticize folks for RV shopping online. After all, who makes RV shopping easier than RV Trader? But there is just something awesome about turning that pocket computer off and stepping into the RV you’ve been dreaming about. You get to find out if that new feature or floorplan is as incredible as you expected it to be. Plus, you get to sit, stand, crouch, and crash into the comforts of a bunch of other RVs to compare it with.
So, you just might drive off with the RV you’ve been dreaming about. Or, like the RV Romeo that you are, you might spark a romance for an even more perfect model.
All this to say: The Tampa Bay RV Summer Show is a prime opportunity to take your RV buyer research to the next level. Plus, whether you end up buying an RV or not, you’ll also still get a shot at a $100 American Express gift card that one lucky winner draws each day as a door prize. And when your day on the fairgrounds is done, you’re still in Tampa. That, my friend, is an all-around win.
