We continue our countdown to the Greater Philadelphia RV Show and the excitement is building for the HD Indoor Storage Team. We love RVs a and we love going places in our RVs. That’s why we built HD Indoor off Exit 31 of the PA Turnpike because it’s easy to get to the Mountains, Shore, and More. But, that is for www.hdindoorstorage.com. This is about the RV Show coming to our neck of the woods in Oaks, Pa. And if you haven’t been to the Philly RV Show before, you will be happy to know what else there is to discover.

RV Show Excitement: #2 Campgrounds

Have an RV — will travel. And one of the many perks of our area is great campgrounds. There is great destination inspiration at the RV Show. We were very RV focused when we went last year and were pleasantly surprised to see some of our favorite Camping Spots at the show. And this year we look forward to check-in with our Old Friends and find some new getaways.

20160515_130444 — Enjoying the Brandywine River at Philadelphia/West Chester KOA

Philadelphia/West Chester KOA is a favorite for us. It is close which means that enjoying our RV and outdoors can be a reality on a weekend that may be packed with other obligations. Some come far and wide because of its close proximity to Philadelphia and ability to accommodate day tours to the City of Brotherly Love. We love the location on Brandywine Creek where you can canoe and fish. The owners are always updating to keep the facilities top-notch. We hope to check in with them at the show to hear the latest. Last year, we got the early news of a stunning store remodels. Hey Gary, what’s new?

Blue Rock’s Family Campground is so unique. It’s located near Hamburg, PA (that’s right, near Cabela’s — make time for a visit). It has an amazing Boulder Field left behind by a receding glacier from the last Ice Age. We were able to camp right up against it — it is unreal scenery. There are great hiking trails from within the campground that let you hook-up to the Appalachian Trail. If you really enjoy Hiking, it’s worth taking a drive to nearby Hawk Mountain as well. But, it is really worth looking for them at the Philly RV Show because last year they brought a classic car and vintage trailer — a must see!

New Friends

So much left to discover! We are always looking for new finds in the Poconos. We have not really explored Western Pennsylvania. And while we are no stranger to the Jersey Shore, we haven’t camped there yet. So, we are on the hunt for some new Campgrounds this season and now is the time to plan. Hey Campgrounds — if you are going to be at the Philly RV Show, let’s hear about it. And if you know of any great destinations, give us your favs!

Could there be a #3 item of RV Excitement? Stay tuned to find out.

New Model Year RVs

There are some exciting things happening in RVs in 2018. Many companies are introducing new floor plans — like Thor, Jayco, and Keystone. The variety of sizes is expanding. More Class A options in the under 30ft category from Coachmen and Fleetwood. And new Builders entering new categories, like Tiffin offering a Class C Motorhome. Although it looks like a Class B+ to us, similar to what Airstream and Leisure Travel Vans offer. If anyone can pin that down, let us know. Is that like a “Pony car” vs. “Muscle Car” debate?

What you get inside is ever changing, I never thought a washer and dryer was even a possibility — saw it last year. I’ve heard there are more builders offering two full-baths in 2018. Mind blown!

Great RV Deals

Unlike many car shows where you just admire from afar, you can walk away with a great deal on an RV at the Greater Philly Show. You may be lucky enough to find “the one” by the end of the weekend and make it yours. Or you could follow our path and find a great dealer to work with. And get “the one” not too long after. Either way, the show is a great way to educate yourself and comparison shop. You want a new RV with no regrets. We had our neighbors attend last year, like Fretz Rv and Camper’s Inn RV.

Undiscovered RVs

This is a fun one. These RVs in a class of their own that you have never seen before. I was blown away by the tiny trailers last year. They can be pulled by most vehicles and pack a lot in a small space. Looking forward to seeing what is BIG in tiny this year. This fun article RV Trends in 2018 for the Adventure Hungry Traveler can be your Scavenger List for the upcoming show.

And that’s all for #1, next of #2 — What do you think it will be?
