After having our first experience at the Tampa show I can see why they call it the supershow. Wow, what a large area and vendor coverage. Been to the "Monsoon" Perry Ga. meet which we thought was large, then the Bowling Green event, but nothing compares to the amount of walking you end up doing at this one. Needless to say at the end of the day we were relieved to get back to the MH and relax.
I found it very interesting that by the end of the day we saw many, many "high end" MHs closed to the public and with "sold" signs in the window. These ranged from $200k to $1.5mil units.
One point to these shows that disappoints us is that we could typically not find
an actual representative of the various companies to discuss concerns.
Other than that we had a great day and well worth our time.

We have gone to the Tampa show for the past 3 years. You're right, it's a big one.

One thing we like about Tiffin Motorhomes is that Bob Tiffin (owner of the company) takes a personal interest in customer concerns and usually spends a day or 2 at most bigger shows. We met him several years ago in Pittsburgh right before we ordered our Allegro Bay. If he can't answer your question, he will find out and call you back personally with an answer.

At Tampa, he usually only makes a brief appearance at the show, then hangs out over at LazyDays.
