lappir Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 In case anyone else is wondering the dates for the Tampa show are January 13 to the 17th. At least that's what I found on an internet search. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richfaa Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 We been going every year for the last 7 years or so. It is a good show and keep one up to date on RV changes. We only about 1 1/2 hours away so we just drive down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildmandmc Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 might be able to make it up there on 17th. 2 hr ride up for me. what we need is something for each of us to identify each other at these events for those that have never met in person.

Jack Mayer Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 The best day to go is typically Thursday. That is often the least crowded. I DO NOT advise going on Saturday or Sunday if you have an option. Also, if you really want to get a flavor for the show it takes at least two days to see it. So, Ideally, I would go Wed and Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Mayer Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Rick, you might be interested in seeing the new New Horizons show model. It is similar to the Excel floorplan that came out a year or so ago. Front bath, sink in island, ENTRANCE in slide. 39'. I believe you have seen the pictures. It should be interesting. And it is priced just above an Elite Suite. Just something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chindog Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Anyone know if there is a dump station at the fairgrounds? We arrive on Tuesday, leave on Sunday, and I'm afraid we'll fill the gray tank. If there is a dump station, we could use a blue boy tank to haul it there.

PSD_Tweaker Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Chindog, as far as I know there is no dump station available to on-site campers. I have dry-camped & camped in the electric area over 7 years & never heard of a dump station. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'd look up "Waste Management" Looks like they provide the Porta Johns for construction sites. Ask the people who put on the show, this isn't their first rodeo. There will be other firms providing portable toilets, Google up" Tampa portable toilet rentals", there are a number of them.

lappir Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Booked a room for Saturday night fairly close. In past years I have risen early drove or rode up thinking I would find a place to stay after but always have just went home arriving after dark and pretty tired. It was 3 hours 10 minutes from Wellington, Fl to Tampa. Now that I'm coming from Tallahassee it's 3 hours and 30 minutes. That extra 20 minutes each way could make me too tired. Will still plan to rise early and hopefully arrive before the majority of the crowd. Anyone want to share the time they open the gates?
