We ran up to Tampa today to go to the Tampa Super Show, one of the biggest, if not the biggest RV show in the country. We went with our friends, Ray and April. We got there just as it opened at 9am with 5000 of our closest friends. To say it was packed is an understatement. We wandered around the many vendors, asked a few questions, saw a couple new things that were interesting like a new lithium battery. Very impressive stats, as well as being just 15% of the weight of an AGM battery! Although at 2 to 4 times as much money. Just like anything else, as production and sales pick up, the price will come down, but it is a very promising technology.
For fun we looked at the new Navistar Dynasty, Foretravels, Prevosts, Tiffin Allegro Buses, Newmar MountainAirs and KingAires, and numerous other motorhomes and proved to ourselves that we are definitely not interested in any of the newer motorhomes. We like ours the best!
Ray and April were looking at small towables, and they were really cool. The manufactures are sure packing in a lot of bang for the buck in a small package. The A-Liners were very cute and attractive, being very light and easy to tow and handle. I'll tell you, it's hard to see where the economy is hurting when you can't move for all the people at the show, carrying around their purchases, and especially when on the first day by noon seeing a multitude of sold signs on units from trailers to Prevosts!
