Hershey Show Sees Second Highest Attendance

America’s Largest RV Show®, presented by the Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle and Camping Association (PRVCA), recorded its second largest attendance ever as 61,320 people attended the show, September 15-19 at the GiantSM Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The 2021 attendance just missed the record of 64,154 in 2017.

“We are ecstatic that so many people came out to see the RVs, vendors with great products and services, and attend the informational seminars,” says Heather Leach, PRVCA executive director. “It is great to see so many people interested in camping and RVing and we are thrilled to have a part in educating them about the products available and provide tips for them as they plan their RVing adventures.”

More than 30 manufacturers exhibited 1,200+ RVs with dealer and manufacturer representatives on hand to answer consumers’ questions and help them secure a great deal. The show also featured more than 150 vendors with everything from cleaning products and personal care items to camping accessories, RV parts and services, insurance and financial products.

Hershey America’s Largest RV Show® also offered seminars to help consumers learn about buying an RV, maintenance, safety, where to travel, and ideas to upgrade your RV. Husband and wife duo David “Hutch” Hutchison and Shari Galiardi, known as Freedom in a Can, drew large crowds for their sessions on full-time RVing costs and tips for exploring national parks. Cortni Armstrong, The Flipping Nomad, had great attendance for her seminar on simple ways to customize your RV and at her display with the Ultimate Montana. Mike Sokol, RV Electricity, also brought in many consumers to learn about electricity and safety, while others flocked to Randy Sobel’s sessions with tips on buying an RV and the introduction to RVing sessions from Up Close RV.
