We looked for you at the Hershey show, but couldn't find you. Our loss. This was our first show and we loved it, although I agree with you that the crowds were good news/bad news. It was impossible to get any food and the traffic getting in was tough. But the crowds are good news for the industry. Since this was our first, it's hard to compare prices and the experience, but we really, really loved being able to see so many of the coaches we are interested in. It would take us years to see all the units we walked through in a day and a half. We will definitely be back next year. The VIP expo in TN sounds like it will be a great experience. Not sure if we will make it, but definitely considering it.

[@andreagoodling2133]

I was thrilled to meet you. Thank you for all your hard work for your channel. It was nice to see my friend and I in your video at the meet and greet. Looking forward to all your great adventures.

[@George-ux6zz]

The Brinkley is cool 😎

[@mikewadams1]

24 months for retirement here. Starting our downsizing now. We will be buying in the next year.

[@kathyrossi4823]

Eddie at Tiffin was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, polite and put up with our humor lol. If we buy a new Tiffin it will be from him even if it is next year. If he didn't know an answer he told us and came back with the answer. I was impressed with him and Tiffins Class A's.

[@gebertg]

Maybe perfect placement of the show dogs segment with CW in the background? 😂😂😂😂

[@George-ux6zz]

Hershey and Tampa are the largest RV shows..

[@skierroy]

I was at the Hershey show Wednesday through Friday and have been there for the last 2 years as well. Still researching and looking into a class A diesel pusher. Loved the show and still most likely to look used, but got lots of ideas. The seminars were great as well. Love your channel.

[@kristenj3517]

It was nice to say hi to you. I told my husband... 'I send you their videos to watch'. The new layouts were fantastic. I didn't like the fact that with the motorized RVs you couldn't bring in or put out the slides to see what they were like while traveling (could you get to the bathroom?, fridge?, bed?, etc.) but I also didn't expect that we could at a show. We had one sales person who was eating in the coach while trying to talk to us. I thought she should have just went and grabbed a dealership table and then continued her hustle. I was really trying to concentrate on looking for quality inside the RVs after the last few years and storage. We have an older Class A, pre-DEF where our cabinets is the same real wood as the ones found in our home. I did a lot of knocking on the cabinet doors. All in all, we came, we looked, we enjoyed ourselves and went home to ponder our next move.

[@tomtanous8608]

Who was hitching a ride and crashing your video 😂

[@davidhannan2023]

That was “Blue Ox inspector’s”

[@blueoxontherun9188]

Our legs were tired, we tried to be quiet😂

[@Sandy410NJ]

Thanks for all the great videos of the Hershey RV show.! You guys are the best! Loved how Pierre and Laurel hitched a ride. At the Tampa show , you guys need to do a simultaneous review and inspection with Pierre and Laurel. Izzy and Pierre on outside etc. 😁 Keep up the great work!

[@blueoxontherun9188]

That's a great idea😊

[@devilman6972]

Attended Saturday, very busy, beautiful weather. Missed seeing you guys. We camped 1:20mins away - pro tip, ride a motorcycle to the show if you can. They let us park at the parking end caps right near the stairs and avoided the overflow parking in the field. Tiffin Phaeton 40IH Midnight Edition for the win! 😊

[@EndlessRVing]

Nice!

[@wesalexander2693]

Great wrap-up, MJ and Izzy, really enjoy and appreciate your videos of the Hershey Show, a lot of work for sure, I don't know how you do it all!

[@EndlessRVing]

Glad you enjoyed it, Wes! :)

[@waynegiovinazzo8283]

We have attended Hershey Show for many years. We attend after 3pm on Saturday and then Sunday. Crowds, food, access to RVs are manageable. We stay at Hershey Campground, only pay one time high fee, Saturday night is then $69. Crowd on Sunday even with rain was more than we expected. Pricing was good but you had be aware of few dealers trying to tack on excessive fees for dealer prep. Matt Cash didn't even touch the amount they tried to add on. Notice some dealers stating no fees, must of heard more than a few buyers complaining. Enjoyed the show, helped friends make a purchase, discussed projects with vendors, talked with manufacture representatives and met a few youtubers.

[@sherriweber7105]

Thank you 13:24 Izzy and MJ for your recap on the Rv show. And update on the Rvs and sales at the show. Glad there was a crowd there. I didn’t know they are having an Rv Expo there in Tennessee. Wow! The food there is expensive.. I had a great time watching you both with the Rvs. Thank you for doing a great job of showing the Rvs. 👍

[@robertnasser9937]

Went Wednesday and Thursday, not so much for the RVs but for the New stuff to buy for the RV. Not everyday stuff, harder to find stuff and new stuff.

[@user-wq8px6vg3i]

This was our first time attending the Hershey Show. We learned a lot from the dealers about the various Class Cs. One disappointment, which you may have explained when talking about the training on site, was when we mentioned a dislike for a feature the rep just walked away from us. For some of these it didn't make sense when the manufacture had a model without that feature. Why not just show us the other model?

[@AndiS-dz4pq]

Aww, there was a beautiful Whippet dog at 10:28. Great info, thanks for doing this.

[@thomastheys6681]

I saw that too blonde photo bomb? But great coverage guys us far western folk appreciate! Thomyt

[@Twisted_stitches_leather]

The line at the Allegro Bus was to meet Bob Tiffin. We had a great show, traded in our class C motorhome for a van. We also won that Truma cooler freezer. Epic show for us.

[@EndlessRVing]

Congrats!

[@LibertyFallFarms]

Bob is such a great guy.. I have known him for 12 years now. A pleasure to work for!

[@RVAmerica]

Great recap! Wow 70° weather would have been nice! We haven’t been the Hersey show. We plan on going again to the Tampa RV Show. We've been to the RV show near Nashville. Danny and Lynn RV America

[@EndlessRVing]

See ya in Tampa!

[@jancash2944]

I see Blue Ox on the run caught a run 😅🎉

[@blueoxontherun9188]

We were "on the run" and our legs were tired😅

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

I was there on Saturday for a few hours and missed you, although I did get to meet Matt and Andrea as well as Dean from LTV. This was my first time there. I had tried to go in 2021 and saw the massive crowds (Friday morning) and the long hour plus line to get in and noped out of that. This time I didn't come until after lunch, wisely ate before I got there, and was able to walk right in with no delay at all. The benefit of a big show like this, for me, was just being able to see almost every manufacturer I was interested in and walk through units without having to deal with salespeople if I didn't want to. As a result, I was able to rule out a few units that I had been somewhat interested in (from videos) and add some new ones that were especially impressive in person. There were only a couple of times where I felt like the inside of a unit was too crowded, although I suppose it would be more annoying if you someone were really trying to spend a lot of time on one specific unit that they were strongly considering. As I was focusing more on smaller towables as well as a few B+ motorhomes, the real star of the show for me was definitely InTech's offerings.

[@EndlessRVing]

Intech is always impressive.

[@CaroleSal]

Love your videos, and your Hershey videos really helped us prepare for our first Hershey show experience. We were there on Friday and loved it. We’re in the early stages of looking for our first RV and the show helped us figure out what we liked and disliked. Thank you for your content, you’re helping us tremendously!

[@louannbenfer1220]

It was great meeting you guys on Saturday 😀

[@teresaworthley2368]

Thank you so much for your show coverage, your insight, your opinions and just bringing us RV industry updates. 😊 Can’t wait to meet you…See you in Tampa!!

[@thomaskrumpter9939]

Spent two days with a focus on the Class A diesel RVs. I was not impressed by the show's "sale prices". A simple internet search revealed the same RV at significant savings. I believe the Tampa Super Show is a significantly better show.

[@thyhangman]

I enjoyed all the tours and videos thank you!

[@EndlessRVing]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@dandinhofer9240]

Hi. I was really happy to meet you guys. The good: Very well behaved and polite visitors and attendees. The weather was phenomenal! Lots and lots of cool equipment to see. The show organizers did an Excellent job -so congratulations there. The bad: the vendors, including "show dogs" were very very poorly trained. Lots and lots of rig misinformation and outrageous specifications claims made by the manufacturers. This was not the venue to buy anything! The ugly: the food was inedible. The portajohns were vastly underrepresented and the waiting lines, smells were horrific. There was very little potable water shared with the public. Seems like water hoarders were mostly the show sponsors who kept the bootles tightly guarded. Hope to see ya in the sunshine state...

[@davidoverholt251]

MJ and Izzy, I am thinking today with the UAW strikes, and the dealers being unnerved on your Ford Engine V8 and Transmission on your rig!, can they meet your needs, or can they meet your warrantee needs? This has always been my problem! If I buy an American Drive Chasis, can I get it fixed throughout the USA! This is why I do not want a Merzedes Benz Chasis, which is usually a diesel! Just saying that in my youth, (1950's) I traveled I 10 across the southwest! I found that a 7 0z bottle of 7up was cheaper than a gallon of water was to put into your radiator!

[@johnpossible6292]

You guys really do a great job with the content you put out. It’s always relevant , educational and informative. As a subscriber to your channel I really appreciate all you do for the RV community,and lastly awesome job covering Hershey.Thankyou 😄

[@EndlessRVing]

Much appreciated!

[@sandibethel4713]

I only attended Wednesday and Thursday. Thank you for your videos and this summery. 👏🏻 yes food was disappointing.

[@RobWisemanDeezFit]

Riverstone41rl signature...Look at that one..Motorhome caliber 5th wheel..Absolutely Amazing rig...😮😊

[@RobWisemanDeezFit]

If nothing else look it up on youtube.

[@WingmanNation]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the show and giving us a tour around. Great job!

[@tombrown8522]

We went Wed and Thursday. No problems getting in to see anything we wanted. We saw you guys at Matt's stand and talked for a minute, but didn't want to bother you too much (Izzy was editing a video at the time). We went there looking to downsize our current 35' travel trailer to a 30' TT, but think we may now look into a Super C from Thor or Jayco. We stayed for free at the Hampton Inn a few miles up the road (I used my diamond member points) and waited until 10am for the lines to clear. I can't imagine what the Sat and Sunday crowds were like!

[@dianemullen7005]

We don't typically eat the food from the food trucks, although some of it was tempting. We snack on Clif bars or beef jerky during the day and refill our water bottles from the drinking fountain. I wish there was a better layout for the seminars and the vendors on the concourse level.

[@peckerpeter2078]

FW:7:35 catching free ride

[@crackercrumb9]

Attended Thurs, Fri, Sat. Best part, meeting you guys off course. Crowds were big but calm and respectful. Prices did seem lower than last year. Way, way too many choices so can't even begin to see them all. Wish they'd better configure the food "court" and maybe some more seating. Already got my site at the campground for next year. W/E for $60.00 a night so not too bad. Thanks again for all you guys do for the community!

[@EndlessRVing]

Great meeting you! See ya next year in Hershey!

[@priscillawagner4939]

That why u go the first 2 days. U see alot of them sold already

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

We think the prices were low to get us to buy so the salespeople can make their money on the high interest rates.

[@thomasinglima3592]

See you guys at the Tampa Rv show 2024.😊

[@Bill98006]

You guys always have such fun! You cheer us up every day.

[@GiniRisinger]

My favorite one from your videos was the Riverside! I've been talking my husband's ear off about all the things you showed. We've always wanted to go to a show. Do you take the display models? We got ours from Keystone RV Center in Greencastle, PA. The first one we took off the lot. The one we have now we bought site unseen then went to view it and they "cleaned" aka taking the tape off things lol. Then went back to pick it up

[@EndlessRVing]

Most are ordered at the show or from inventory dealers have although the display models are also sold

[@GiniRisinger]

Thanks for the info!

[@terry3193]

Hi guys. I must say that it’s impressive at the frequency of your videos. Not sure how you do it but it’s great! This has been a fun series of videos!

[@EndlessRVing]

Thanks so much!

[@graceannahenderson4809]

Thanks for all your work showing us what was at Hershey. We are going to be at Tampa and it will be our first show. Can’t wait.

[@flyingdutchwoman]

should try to buy one up here in Canada...

[@FrozenTundra1365]

Missed you guys at the show Saturday. Good place to look at all the RV’s. Saw a lot of people at tables buying and they looked worn down. It is overwhelming because there is so many models to look at.

[@anthonyreguero3328]

I will see you at The Nashville show!!

[@EndlessRVing]

Awesome!

[@Tom-jf4vg]

Great job 👏 👍

[@mateocafe45]

Thanks for the recap. That boisterous woman in the go cart could have killed someone going that fast. Hope everyone was ok. 🙏

[@AngelaKHarrell]

Love these annual show recaps!! 😊😊

[@EndlessRVing]

Glad you like them!

[@richardsnyder9271]

Love all the videos and like your hitchhikers. They were making their own video. Ha ha

[@davidschmidt5848]

I caught up with you guys eating a PBJ sandwich. That says enough on food prices there😂

[@EndlessRVing]

We refuse to pay high prices for crappy food!!

[@MrWizard1989]

Great show videos! Registered for the NIRVC show also so see y’all there!

[@EndlessRVing]

Awesome, looking forward to it!

[@williamlambert2865]

See you all in Tampa

[@joygarrett8397]

The show dogs . . Yeah I’ve watched too many newbies get suckered in by the “salespeople only” who know nothing about camping/RVing promising the world (& basically lying/misleading info) to get a sale . . Seen a lot of that at shows here in Michigan I’ve attended. . . Sad. Yes! People should do their research etc beforehand . . HOWEVER, not everyone knows someone that has rv’d & can give them guidance & not everyone is internet savvy & many of the owners forums are also filled with conflicting information . . . just saying. . . .

[@Where_Rv_Now]

Was at show, 2021 and this year and have been doing research decided on mid/entry level class A Encore 375 RB bourbon and bonfire addition…. Still waiting for them to accept my offer… next your recommendation for an RV inspector and $$$ I should expect to pay

[@Steve-n-Tango]

Ugh!! Saw ya at Tampa… saw ya at Hershey.. wasn’t able to get over to meet ya! One of these days.. one of these days.

[@ivanbbad9]

Maybe a good Auction for Rvers at end of show?

[@tompGA]

At this or the upcoming Tampa show, are there opportunities to look at and/or buy used RV's. Like to look at the new ones, but for our initial purchase we are more focused on 3-5 years old. Any of those at these shows.

[@EndlessRVing]

New RV’s are on display at the shows

[@jkhelms]

Who in the world jumped on the back of your golf cart? LOL

[@blueoxontherun9188]

Shhhh😳we tried to be quiet

[@kevingoins4542]

Can you tell me what full body paint is! Izzy was cracking up. You can tell very quickly the ones that just got hired. I always like to ask if a bolt stretcher comes standard! Thank you for all the info! Great video as usual. Safe travels.

[@jeff953]

But, What about quality? Has the QUALITY improved???

[@EndlessRVing]

Yes for some coaches

[@kayefink8293]

So do you think the prices were low to combat the interest rate?

[@EndlessRVing]

Prices were low to move inventory.

[@larrythegardenfairy.2076]

I always enjoy your videos. I'm looking to go full-time (live in). It's time to minimize. Keep doing what your doing.

[@EndlessRVing]

Thanks for watching!

[@ericverpeten8503]

👍👍

[@chrisheitz6175]

Where do you think you get a better deal- Hershey or Tampa?

[@EndlessRVing]

Neither lol

[@bcurtis65nj]

Who are the random people sitting in the back? You operating a taxi service at the show now? :)

[@blueoxontherun9188]

Endless Uber Service, the best tour guides!

[@stephenpolos1689]

Good video 😊 just saying I'm not going to buy entry rig price leader interest rates are high banks are not going to loan high risk a product that depreciation 20% when you drive off only a certain amount of people are going to buy great to go look I'm in California and Dealers are not selling a lot of rv's we might go into recession they are repos cars and rv's there already priced to high and quality is bad I'm waiting to buy a new rv till 2024 or 2025

[@jamesmclamb3682]

For those who have never been, how does Hershey compare to Tampa? We did Tampa this year and it was great.

[@EndlessRVing]

We like Tampa even more. More higher end RVs, more fun at the show, we love it!

[@Dave-zl2ky]

The "state fair" type of sales is so old and tired. Buy today or else is never a good way to buy anything other than maybe cotton candy or a hot dog. Dealers and salesmen are often not set up to deal with a slower more deliberate informational sales approach, especially if the potential buyers won't commit on the first visit. Having said all that, use shows to gather information for sure. Thanks for your always informative videos.

[@joygarrett8397]

Thanks guys!! But economy taking “alittle bit of a hit”??? Heck in the past year + I’ve lost almost 50% of my retirement savings, Uncle Sam keeps taking away deductions, costs skyrocketing so $$ I saved toward an RV now need for daily expenses . . Not poor- mouthing but the only ones who can afford an RV now are the Very well off or young folks dumb enough to mortgage their lives away . . Just saying after a lifetime of careful savings & planning/budgeting, my rv dream (& a few other dreams) have been taken away . . I’m very sad cause I always enjoyed camping for many years . . . Btw I am 65 & retired single female. . .

[@anthonyreguero3328]

I’m thankful I cancelled my trip to Hershey. Those crowds would have cracked me. Music City is more for me. Thanks for video. Believe it or not music city will be cheaper, even with fee.

[@EndlessRVing]

Awesome, see ya there!

[@sharongriffin561]

Thanks for all you do, The informative informative rvs shown we are looking for a forest river artic wolf 3550SUITE
