  1. Hello! We are thinking of heading over to the RV Show this weekend. Do you know if we are allowed to arrive Thursday afternoon at the fairgrounds for overnight dry camping (I cannot locate the answer online)? That would allow for a nice early start on Friday at the first day of the show. Also, is there a listing of the vendors somewhere? I don’t see it on their website. We may stop by on Friday to meet you and finally learn how to use our TSD Logistics discount card! Thanks, Tina and Andrew

    • Hi there – yes you can drive to the fairgrounds and park there overnight – I would arrive by 3 or 4 if you can. Download the app – link is in the blog post – I find the easiest way to view vendors is via the map – and you will get a show guide when you arrive as well. See you Friday!
