The whole thing is intended for dealers to come and see new models and place orders for next spring's models, and for Influencers, such as bloggers and Youtubers to promote new models

I wonder what you have to do to get inducted into the RV Hall of Fame?

I wonder what you have to do to get inducted into the RV Hall of Fame?

Be a mover and shaker in the RV industry. There's a gallery of inductees in the upstairs hall next to their library. Escapees founders Joe and Kay Peterson were inducted several years ago.

It's a neat place. If you haven't been there, the main attraction is the RV museum containing restored RVs ranging from custom Model T conversions and trailers to present day RVs. Rewind the video to the beginning if you want to tour the museum. This video is a few years old and Google Earth shows the expansion they discuss at the end including the proposed rally site is completed.

Their website says they're a Harvest Hosts site so Harvest Hosts members can boondock free overnight with museum admission. Water/Electric sites are also available for $40 a night.

There is a YouTuber called "RV Miles" who gives weekly updates on the RV industry. Most of the videos are 8-10 minutes long and they can be very informative. Jason and his wife (off camera) were at the show mentioned in this post and have an extended video of what's new and innovative in the RV industry and what consumers can expect to see on showroom floors soon. Check them out.
