Pennsylvania gears up for 44th annual RV & Camping Show slated for September

The 44th annual Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show will be held Sept. 12-16 at the Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Co. Giant Center in Hershey, PA.

Sponsored by the Pennsylvania RV & Camping Association (PRVCA), there will be plenty of parking and good things to eat. There are numerous campgrounds in the region, some as little as two miles from the show and others as far as 56 miles away. Additionally, there are many hotels and motels in the region.

The Hershey show is the first in the nation to debut new products. It is set up differently from many other RV shows since it is laid out by manufacturers instead of dealers, making it the easiest way to shop and compare the many RV brands.

There will be more than 21 acres of RVs on display, allowing attendees to examine hundreds of RVs of every make and model. It is estimated that two days are required to see everything.

Accessory vendors are a major part of the show, providing RV and camping accessories and quality educational seminars from RV industry experts.

The show debuted in 1968 and has evolved to be the largest of its kind. With the first two days attributed to members of the RV industry and the remaining five days dedicated to consumers, it is also the largest hybrid show in the country.

Admission will be $10 for adults. Children under 12 are free. A three-day pass will be $20 and a twilight pass that allows entry after 3 p.m. on public days is $5. Wednesday, Sept. 12 is designated Senior Day with 50 per cent off the regular admission price for persons 55 years and older.
