The Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show, America‟s Largest RV Show, held in Hershey, PA reported record attendance at this year‟s event with a turnout of 35,020 people for the Retail Days alone. The event held September 13th through 19th saw a 9 percent increase in attendance from 2009 and set a new record for the history of the show. The show was over 1 million square feet and grew by 42 percent compared to the 2009 show. Over 970 units were on display, a 43
percent increased over the previous year. Not only has the show size and attendance increased, but the show reached international proportions. “This year we went global,” says Rebecca Lenington, Executive Vice President of the Pennsylvania RV and Camping Association, the association managing the show. “We had dealers from South Korea, Jamaica, Slovenia and Canada. It was also reported that we had
public day attendees from Germany and Holland; and simply put, when the generators remain on for 2 ½ hours after closing each night, you know we are moving product.” Hershey has also become the place for manufacturers to introduce their new product lines.
