Cleveland RV Show 2012

On Saturday we went to the 2012 Cleveland RV show. It was fairly busy as each RV we went into already seemed to have folks hanging out inside. There were quite a few dealers, RVs, and some campgrounds there as well. A lot of it was stuff we've already seen before, but there were a few things of interest.

Something we've noticed is that once you walk into about 20 RVs they all start to look the same. A few were different. One started on the outside. I thought it looked like a shuttlecraft from Star Trek. The inside was pretty nice too - it looked modern and clean. I think that one was called an Element. We also liked the Visa by Gulf Stream. It was light weight and the layout was interesting. The bathroom was actually separated a little so that the bathtub/shower was on one side of the trailer and the toilet/sink was on the other. That might not sound like much, but in a sea of shiolets anything different is good.

The other one we liked was the V-cross Vibe. It had the shape of a horse trailer but definitely didn't look like one. It used the V shape in the front for extra space while still being more aerodynamic. Of course there were the usual gargantuan RVs - the fifth wheels and coaches that were huge. Some of them are gigantic as well as very expensive. Many of them look a lot alike. Overall we had a good time and saw a few campgrounds that we might try out next year. Of course it doesn't help with the camping bug that has struck already
