Our 5-8 inches turned into a dusting and a lot of wind.

Went to the show in East Lansing last week. $3 each with 50% discount available online.


We enjoy looking for what is new and innovative.


Loved the rear, raised living room in the Montana. Laid out like a Front Living Room model, but you get to keep the huge front storage and add more to the rear. That was very nice. Down side, Keystone screwed the pooch on the shower, putting the shower head above the seat, instead of on the other side, a no-no for the wife.


About 70% Bunkhouse models this year. Obviously pushing to get families back into camping. Not many toy haulers this time around.

I like the shows when we can get to them. Haven't been in a few years so it would be nice to see the changes.

One new (to us) designs I thought was excellent.


Large 5th wheel, don't remember the brand.


Traditionally, the entertainment center is on the street side (when its on the side, not on the back). We saw one with it on the curb side. Then they worked it so the television can be rotated and be seen either from the inside or outside. The outside having a door to open to see the television.


Excellent thinking, I thought. Instead of having to have a separate TV for outside, use the big one from inside.


I like innovation.

Well - I've thought more about the post I made above...
Okay - so it's not that is so much a lie fest (although I have learned to not trust RV sales people) ... It's more about my lack of self control... I see all the new blingy stuff and get what I call the "I wants", and before you know it, I have myself convinced that I not only DESERVE that nice shiny blingy thing, but that I can afford it!!!
No.
I really can't...
I need to get us financially stable enough where we can retire with some degree of comfort..
I can't go to the shows...
There.. i said it....

We are good window shoppers. We just avoid the salespeople.
