This is the show’s 56th year, with the Giant Center serving as its home base since 2005. What Makes This Show Unique? Unlike many regional RV shows, Hershey is organized by manufacturers rather than dealers. That makes shopping and comparing much more efficient: Brands are grouped together so you can head straight to the ones you’re interested in. You can compare different models from the same manufacturer side by side. Less bouncing between mixed-brand dealer areas; more focused time evaluating rigs. You’ll find 1,400–1,500 RVs across every category—pop-ups, hybrids, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, camper vans, Class C’s, and luxury Class A’s. See the up-to-date manufacturer list here: Manufacturers on Display. Plan Your Route: Maps, Layout & Strategy The fastest way to beat getting overwhelmed is to arrive with a plan. Start by reviewing the Show Layout & Maps and building a route that clusters your must-see brands together. Grab a printed map at the entrance and keep the show app open on your phone for quick reference. Pro Navigation Tip: The outdoor map includes numbered light pole indicators. If you lose your bearings, find the nearest light pole, match its number to the map, and you’ll instantly know where you are. The Giant Center: A Show Within the Show Outside is all about RVs. Inside the Giant Center, you’ll find more than 200 booth vendors covering the rest of your RV life—gear, services, and destinations.
