The Hershey RV Show: Everything You Need to Know

If you want to check out new RVs this fall, the place to be is the 2022 Hershey RV Show from September 14th to the 18th. It’s the largest RV show in North America with 1,300 RVs on display. 

2022 Hershey RV Show

Unlike a dealer show where you’re going to be limited to the units they have in stock, the Hershey show gives you the opportunity to tour RVs of all shapes and sizes in one place. 

There’s nothing quite like being able to walk in so many RVs and get a sense of what they are like inside and out. 

You’ll find a wide selection of manufacturers, brands, and models represented. So, whether you’re considering towable RVs or motor homes, there’s something for just about everybody. 

This is THE show if you want to see travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class B’s, Class C’s, Class A’s, Super C’s, truck campers, and even pop-up campers all in one place.

So, if you’re curious about which brands or models are the best fit for you, this is your chance to tour them and talk to the manufacturer reps.

Can You Still Get a Great Deal at the Hershey RV Show? 

Traditionally, RVers look to take advantage of “show pricing”. And if you know what you want and are ready to buy, you might find a deal on a show unit. If that is your goal, arrive early and attend the first day if you want to have the best selection, especially for rare models. 

It is possible to find units in stock at the show that you can’t easily find anywhere else. Just be aware that in recent years it’s been a seller’s market, which means fewer show units may be available. 

The market has cooled off a bit this year compared to 2020 and 2021, so this could be a more advantageous time to shop for a new RV. 

The fact is you won’t know until you get there so it’s best to arrive early and seek out the specific units you’re interested in right away. 

An alternative is to tour the units at the show and order the one you like best. You may be able to lock in show pricing, so that’s something to be aware of as well. 

Keep in mind that this show will be a chance to get a first look at the new 2023 models. That’s always exciting. And if there are any 2022s left in stock, they may be priced to move quickly. However, that’s definitely a unit-by-unit situation. Either way, you can talk face-to-face with sales reps and manufacturer reps to get your questions answered. 

Of course, Matt and Andrea and Wil and Jen will be there at the orange Matt’s RV Reviews tent. So, make sure to stop by and say hello! We’re here to help you find exactly what you’re looking for…
