Atlanta Camping & RV Show – Atlanta Expo Center South

We’ve done a lot of traveling over our years as a family and have enjoyed lots of wonderful destinations. However, for the next few years we are going to focus our attention on the National Parks before our children get to an age where it won’t be cool to hang out with their parents. After all, we’ve got about five to seven years before our «cool mom» and «cool dad» factor slides completely off a cliff, so we want to enjoy as much quality time with our little guys as possible.
I grew up loving road trips and that is exactly how we plan to spend most of our upcoming vacations. Hotels & airline tickets can get expensive and with so many places to visit (and so little time) we need an efficient way to travel. Not having to pack and unpack at every destination or having to deal with late check in’s and early check outs would be ideal. RV’s have long been attractive to us for this reason because we can come and go as we please.
THE EXPERIENCE
While we are still toying with the idea of making an actual purchase, we enjoy any opportunities to increase our knowledge of these awesome traveling homes. Talking with salespeople and especially experienced RV owners proved extremely valuable. We learned so many useful tid-​bits that I feel much more confident in what to look for when choosing an RV. Useful information like how to cook on the road, fantastic campsites and the proper size generator so we can wash/​dry clothes without having to turn off the electronics and A/​C. I learned the difference between a 5^th wheel and a travel trailer and which dealerships have amazing reputations.
Aside from RV’s there are trucks, accessories, campsite vendors on site and so much more. Food court has taste options and parking is free.
THE VERDICT
If you are looking someday to own an RV or just like checking out the latest and greatest models, RV shows are a great way to spend a few hours. The average family spends about $ 4,500 a year on vacations. Some of these RV’s would pay for themselves in less than 6 years + you could take countless weekend road trips for little to no cost in accommodations. Definitely something to seriously consider if you love vacationing with your family.
