The Florida RV SuperShow opened at 9 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida.
Florida RV Trade Association (FRVTA) Executive Director Dave Kelly said the show’s first day had a great turnout with ample crowds.
Temperatures were chilly for the Florida climate. High temperatures were around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with cloudy skies and some wind making the day seem colder. The fairgrounds stayed dry despite the cold.
Consumers bustled around RVs and indoor accessory exhibitors. RVers also attended educational sessions and met influencers.
Educational sessions commenced from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Consumers attended classes covering campground power and surge protectors, Alaskan guided RV tours, lithium-ion battery information, Onan generator operation and maintenance, Type A diesel chassis maintenance and RV solar power.
The first day included influencer meet-and-greets from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Influencers had a one-hour slot. Influencers included:
