World's Largest RV Show

Fall is in the air and, yes, the leaves are turning. It was a beautiful day to take a trip to the RV show in Hersey Pennsylvania. I understand they serve chocolate beer in Hersey! Ugh!The interesting thing about the Pennsylvania Turnpike and other northeast turnpikes you pay a toll to get on and a toll to get off. So to give you gas and food along the way they have service centers. If you want to go to a favorite chain restaurant you may be out of luck unless you want to travel side highways. The good news, of course, is that it is straight through. No fuss, no muss unless there is an accident then turtle pace.


Along the turnpike most of what we saw were farms. In this part of the U. S. there are lots of stone barns and houses. Some of them are very old.

We arrived in Hersey and confirmed the Pennsylvania RV & Camping Association Show is the World's Largest RV show because, well, it took us about an hour to get from the freeway to the show. It is held in the Giant Center which is right next to Chocolate World.

This was just the main area in the middle of the center. There were also booths on both sides of the hallway around the entire third floor. Whew! And, I walked it!!! Also, there were new model RVs of all types and sizes covering the front parking lot. Unbelieveable.

We got to see Chuck Woodbury from Edmonds, Washington. He has the largest RV bookstore online and a great RVTravel e-newsletter. You can see more at RVTravel.com. We consider Chuck as the guy who was instrumental in getting us prepared and off to our endless vacation.
