I am getting ready to go to the Harrisburg RV show today.  I am so excited.  My sister was suppose to go with me, but she got a new kitten and it is now sick, so she is home nursing the kitten back to health.  So, I am on my own.  DH is taking DD to cello lessons, then he will make dinner for the kids, so I have the whole day there!  I will let you all know how it was after I get back.  See ya!

Ok, I am back from the show.  It is HUGE!  I think that it is bigger this year than last years.  It is also so HOT in there.  Everyone is dripping wet.  I don't know why it is so hot there.  I saw I think all of the popups there and boy were there alot of them this year.  I will now need to look over the papers I got and try and remember who had what.  I really, really liked that Trailmanor....the salesman let me open and clolse it and it is so easy to do!  I can only dream.  The other one that really caught my eye was the Fleetwood Nigarga...it is so beautiful and very well done.  That is one nice trailer.  I like the new fabric and darker wood and black appliances.  Very cool.   If you go, have a great time, and stop by the Coachman hall, the NorthWest hall and see Jim Wilson, he is on the board and is a very nice guy....he is working for DeWalt.  Have fun.

Sounds great! We've been to this show numerous times. It does does seem to get larger and larger each year.

FYI - We'll be there on Saturday. We're looking forward to meeting up with any fellow PUT'ers who will be there. The plan is to meet at 1:30 in front of the Fleetwood display.  ;)

I envy all of you living close enough to see that show-from what everyone says, it must be  fantastic.  And it must also be fun  to see some PUT friends there. :W :#

As for the TrailManor, anyone who sees them at a show will know why we were so impressed with them and love ours so much-- unfortunately I am beginning to think  seriously of selling ours  next spring. ( Billy's health problems have reached the point where  he will not be able to go camping anymore) And  I just dont see any point in having  the TM sit in the barn and rot. It is a struggle, though,  I keep looking at it and thinking I cant bear to part with it, and then realize how dumb I am being: put all that monery into something you have for 3 years and use then for 4 weeks total--arrrghh  .:( ( Oh well.)

The weather here in our mountains  is fantastic right now and not too hot, so I hope the weekend weather will be  great for the rest of the show.  
Diehard fool that I am, I'll be going to the Atlanta show in February  again--I never get tired of looking at RV's.  I wonder if there is such a diagnosed disease  as RV Mania.

Sorry to hear about Bill's health. I hope it's not too serious.
What model trailmanor do you have and how much do you want for it if you decide to sell it?

Tell me about it. Not only was our building without A/C, but since it didn't have enough power we couldn't even turn it on in the trailers! And the shirts Dewalt's gave us were black :yikes:  which was essentially strike three.

On the plus side... not having time to eat lunch, walking around as much as I did, and sweating in the heat probably means I lost a few pounds.  :D

Um, that's actually Coachmen, not Coachman (as someone already pointed out to me!  ;))

But it was nice to put a face to a name. I've often wondered who looked like what, and now I can at least say I met someone from this board.

Now I feel bad.  I saw you, but you were busy so I didn't introduce myself. :(

I was looking in the paper today under RV's and all of the trailers were Coachman trailers.  Must be 2 brands of them....lol.

Busy? Me? At the Harrisburg show? Perish the thought...  :D

Actually, I'll be at the PA Expo Center working the "RV Super Sale" show in Allentown this weekend. Stop by if you're in the 'hood.
