Wow, Lots of coaches with sold signs on them.

Lots of coaches with MULTIPLE sold signs on them!!!

Slideout J couches rock. Where could we buy one to retrofit into our 2005 coach?

We liked the removable pole table between the drivers and passenger seat up front. Where could I buy one with the socket to do that on my WH chassis?

One of the manufacturers (who had sales guys that came off very slimy/cocky) has a model with a 200# bed tray that drops down behind the windshield like an OLD Winnebago. Not spring loaded like the old ones but a similar setup.

A 29' diesel pusher?

Heard lots of folks expressing interest in the bunkbeds for kids/grandkids.

Dig the full bath in the back with a 1/2 bath mid coach!

Signs NO FOOD/Drink in the motorhome signs are written with invisible ink to the genital public? Maybe the vendors should set up a small table outside the coaches for show goes to place their refreshments on.

I am standing here outside the door of a coach because I am waiting for someone to come out you inconsiderate butt head. Grrrrr people...

One manufacturers had every unit marked down $20,000 off list as "show special" pricing. Every other vendor I saw had MUCH steeper discounts.

Check at West Marine or another marine supplier. Another site that may have it at discount is an Ebay vendor....ITC. Good luck

Chris, thanks for the post. We haven't been to the show for a couple of years, and you brought back some memories.

Those pole supports have been around a long time. We had one in an old 1970s Prowler TT we had once. Just Google "RV table support" and you will come up with a bunch of suppliers. Here's one of them.

Thanks for the suggestion. Saw a bunch of what looked like granite tops on ebay in various sizes for not a lot of coin!

We went and Dry camped at the show from Friday to Sunday. I think maybe about 50 MH's there doing the same. I didn't think there were as many people there as last year. Yes a lot of sold signs. Saw some really nice MH's. I'd like to trade up but don't want the larger payments. I think I'll keep mine. It was a fun time.

In general disappointed by the overall quality that the GENITAL public is willing to accept. If we where not buying it, they would not be building it. The standout manufacturers for me are Horizon, they are a custom built Trailer company. Coach House, and Leisure Travel for class B . Then there is Renegade Truck Conversion and Showhauler.... 90% of the stuff at the show Is junk, the Crab Cakes where good, and the chicken was ok. Inside I walked around a little but the crowds made it difficult, I did purchase a hose with built in heating element, and a cool gadget to hang my plastic grocery bags on the side of my RIG and use them for garbage bags......

Hi GENECOP

That gagdet that will hold a plastic bag to the side of the coach sounds interesting. I hope your screen name has nothing to do with deciding who gets to swim in the gene pool. If so I would encourage you to do a better job of keeping more in the shalloow end.

Hilarious, HoRo... er, Chris. I'm reminded of the Pixar movie where the kids shrug and Mom & Dad are cracking up. Ditto to the '05, we're gonna wait without modifying and buy a 2-3 yr old 2011 or 2012.



The pole table does interest us. Any pictures? We need a place to place snacks, since the dash is spoken for.
