Staying Connected to the RV Industry

At BRANFORD AUTO SALES LLC, we make it a priority to attend and follow major RV shows, dealer conventions, and industry events several times throughout the year.

These events help us stay current with new motorhome designs, technology, service practices, market trends, and customer expectations. More importantly, they allow us to see RVs, equipment, and innovations in person—not just in brochures or online listings.

Florida RV SuperShow — Tampa, Florida

The Florida RV SuperShow is one of the largest RV events in the country. It brings together manufacturers, dealers, accessory companies, campground representatives, service providers, and RV owners in one location.

At this show, professionals can walk through hundreds of different RVs, compare Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes, review new floorplans, inspect storage designs, and see new equipment in person. The event also includes supplier booths, technical training, and educational seminars covering topics such as RV maintenance, solar power, off-grid travel, and full-time RV living.

For us, this is valuable because it helps us understand what buyers are looking for and which features truly improve ownership—not just features that look impressive on paper.

America’s Largest RV Show — Hershey, Pennsylvania

America’s Largest RV Show in Hershey gives dealers and buyers the opportunity to compare a very large number of new models in one place. The 2026 event is expected to display more than 1,400 RVs from approximately 40 manufacturers, alongside accessories, campground information, travel services, and educational sessions.

Industry and dealer days include training, education sessions, networking, and an early preview of upcoming RV models and accessories. (America's Largest RV Show)

This type of event helps us compare how different manufacturers approach interior layouts, towing capacity, basement storage, electrical systems, kitchen design, slide-outs, and overall build quality. Two RVs may look similar online, but seeing them side by side often reveals major differences in comfort, usability, and long-term value.

RV Dealers Convention/Expo — Las Vegas, Nevada

The RV Dealers Convention/Expo is focused on dealership operations and the business side of the RV industry. It brings together dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, finance providers, warranty companies, service professionals, and other industry partners.

The event includes workshops, educational sessions, networking opportunities, and discussions about improving customer service, dealership operations, technology, sales practices, and industry trends. The 2026 convention is scheduled for November 9–13 in Las Vegas. (RVDA)

For our customers, this matters because a better dealership process means clearer communication, more organized paperwork, stronger product knowledge, and a smoother buying experience from the first inquiry through delivery.

RV Aftermarket Conference — Orlando, Florida

The RV Aftermarket Conference focuses on the equipment and systems owners use after purchasing an RV. It brings together suppliers, distributors, manufacturers’ representatives, and industry professionals involved with parts, accessories, upgrades, and service support.

At these events, professionals discuss new products, maintenance solutions, accessories, replacement parts, electrical upgrades, solar systems, batteries, towing equipment, and other practical improvements for RV ownership. The conference is built around one-on-one meetings, educational sessions, and business discussions between suppliers and distributors. (rvia.org)

This helps us stay informed about the systems that matter after the sale—such as generators, batteries, roof maintenance, appliances, leveling systems, cameras, solar equipment, and replacement parts.

Why Industry Events Matter to Our Customers

Attending and following industry events gives us a better understanding of what makes one RV a stronger choice than another.

It helps us evaluate practical details such as:

• Floorplan functionality and storage capacity
• Gas versus diesel ownership considerations
• Chassis, suspension, and towing differences
• New safety and camera technology
• Lithium battery, inverter, and solar upgrades
• Appliance reliability and service access
• Maintenance requirements and common ownership concerns
• Features that offer real value for families, couples, and full-time travelers

Our goal is not simply to show customers an RV. Our goal is to help them understand whether that RV fits their travel plans, driving comfort, budget, and long-term ownership needs.

At BRANFORD AUTO SALES LLC, we believe a better-informed dealership creates a better buying experience. By staying connected to the RV industry, we can provide more practical guidance, better answers, and greater confidence for every customer.
