Lightbulb Tampa Show - what are you looking to buy?

I just bought my toy a month ago so I'll be looking for deals on

Tpms
Gps
Silverleaf
Inverters
Seating like sofas
Surge protectors
window shades
Shore power reels
Side view cameras

What might you be looking to get?

Should I expect to save $$ over just shopping online, if so what %

You might save some money or get a bonus at the show.

Be sure to know the online prices to see if you're getting a good deal.

X2 Route 66. I have found better deals on the web for almost everything I have needed for our DP. That being said it's not a bad idea to have a Ono-on-one with the show retailers as they normally provide some very useful info and insight and also want to make a deal.

Well I guess if you have certain items with online printouts U can ask to price match at least.

Let's face every dealer pays about the same.

For me, it is finding things I did not know existed or didn't know I needed. Most of my time will be trying to find luxury RV resorts where you can have a house on the same lot as the RV. Looking for something east of the Mississippi. Nothing further south than Tennessee and South Carolina. Preferably in the mountains.
