Slated for opening day, Tuesday, March 12th from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, The Reveal will kick-off the RVX event, and drive dealer interest in new and innovative models being introduced.

As the RV products are revealed, the event emcee will guide the audience through an inside look at how supplier products fit into the RV and specifically with the consumer lifestyle category.

“Beyond the product unveiling, dealers in attendance will receive valuable information that will help them to better understand the products and what individual consumers are looking for,” said Liz Crawford, RV Industry Association Senior VP, Trade Shows and Events. “Ultimately, dealers, manufacturers and suppliers will leave The Reveal with a better understanding of what consumers are looking for in their next RV purchase.”

Product submissions will include product name, description, model year, why the product is a fit for the lifestyle category and an upload for digital assets including pictures of the product. While the judges will not determine the final Reveal selections until mid-January, products that are submitted prior to Open House will be eligible for the event judges to view in person. Submitted products may also be selected as part of Go RVing’s paid media partnerships to drive consumer interest around RVX in March.
