Our departure from the MidWest was delayed a few days, so on Sunday I accompanied several family members to the Ohio RV & Boat Show at the Expo in Columbus.
We had snow on the ground, and the wind chill was "bitter". Fortunately, the show was held indoors, primarily in 3 buildings (covered walkway between two of them, and catch a shuttle to the third). I'm glad I attended, but was not really impressed with the show. It appeared that there were no manufacturer representatives or manufacturer's RVs on hand, and the show was really put on by a couple of RV dealers and a couple of boat dealers.
Nevertheless, there was a decent showing of a variety of RV types, including Class A, B, C, travel trailers, fifthwheels, tent trailers, A-liners, teardrop trailers, and speciality RVs.
Vendors were virtually non-existent, except for a poor display by Camping World.
There were a few tire kickers, but overall few attendees. I suppose that, given the weather and the time of year, I wouldn't expect too many people in OH to be shopping for RVs.
