I just returned from 4 days of the northeast RV show in Suffern NY, Just outside NYC. While working the booth for Granite Hill Camping Resort I had a chance to watch lots of things, here is what I saw! Best Booth Display was mine of Course! I am slightly biased I know. Here is my best of the best report for the rest of the vendors and dealers at the show!
Two Best Vendors
Barry & Sandy Larkin (Directors of the Delaware Good Sam Club) in the Good Sam booth were great. They took the time to educate each and every person who asked the benefits of being a Good Sam member. They offered information and products such as Trip planning DVD's and books on service and camping. Not only were these products great but were available at the lowest prices I have ever seen. Cheaper than the online members site to be exact. So next time your at an RV show stop at the
Good Sam booth in your area and ask them what they can do for you!
Email Barry for any questions or details, he is great! Join Today!
The other vendor I thought had a great product and professional sales team was the Porta-Bote booth. Bob & Claudia worked well with customers to show them this folding boat product. Take your boat with you anytime you want without any hassle. Bob's experience with his own Porta-Bote landing huge stripers in NY on large live bait helped him connect to this product. This team was upbeat and optimistic the entire weekend and never let any question go unanswered! Excellent Product and Support. I would buy my Porta-Bote from Bob in a heartbeat. Contact Camping with Chris for Bob's contact information!
Two Best Dealers
Best Coach Dealer,
Kevin Nelson and his team of Pros from Campers Barn in Kingston NY. This team not only brought the stars of the show they worked the customers to provide information and education without pressure to buy. The sales staff knew the products, treated each customer like gold and were very polite to everyone. With the help of factory sales representatives like Gary McLain from Monaco Coach, they were prepared for the show and had by far the best display. Want the best? Email Kevin and tell him Camping with Chris sent you!
Best Towable Dealer,
Janine and her crew from Escape RV had the towable's display on lock down. They had a variety of units to look at and only brought the best of the best. The sales force worked customers well from Pop-Ups to Large Fivers and Motorhomes. Escape RV had very attentive staff and provided excellent service to the attendees. This dealership is family owned and operated and takes pride in doing things the right way. Good People here folks. Check them out for sure before you purchase your new RV. Doesn't matter what state your from give them a call.
So there you have it, the basics on the show and the vendors and dealers. Not a whole lot new in the RV industry right now. Same old parts but together in different ways! I have never been an Airstream fan but the new ones are pretty sweet. Looking forward to later in the year when Monaco Coaches start coming with the Max Force Engines! Woot!
Once again thanks for Reading!

This crew was at the show promoting a new KOA they haven't even opened yet! I love it! They open this spring and you can call/Email Lisa to book a Reservation. Facilities look great and should be a spectacular campground just an hour from Manhattan. Good Luck Guys!
