More than 50 years ago, the first Pennsylvania consumer show featured some RVs. The Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle and Camping Association (PRVCA) joined the Pennsylvania Manufactured Housing Association to display recreation vehicles at the Pennsylvania Farm Show building in Harrisburg. In 1970, PRVCA hosted the first show exclusively featuring RVs.
In 2005, PRVCA moved the show to The Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. In its first year there, the show encompassed 943,000 square feet and hosted more than 28,000 attendees. It has grown tremendously through the years, even weathering a hurricane and a Recession.
In 2008, PRVCA rebranded the show as “America’s Largest RV Show®.” Since then, thousands of people have attended the show to find out more about the RV lifestyle, talk to knowledgeable sales staff and buy their dream RV. In 2017, America’s Largest RV Show® welcomed a record 64,000 + attendees.
This years show is from September 16-20 at the Giant Center in Hershey Pa. Information is available at largestrvshow.com. Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle and Camping Association.
