The 2015 Tampa RV Show is open to the public January 14 -18. Here is a link to the Website:
Wednesday, January 14 is Senior Citizen's Day - $1 off the adult admission $10
Livin Lite will have a display
Dogs are permitted, but I will arrange daycare for mine - they are too friendly!
Cars - $6 RVs - $12
Dry camping at the fairgrounds - $20
I made reservations for an RV resort in Bushnell, FL last week and just realized I would be there for the RV show.
So, who can make it? $1 off admission on Wednesday isn't much, but the show won't be as crowded as it will be on Saturday.
I had a link that didn't work in this post. Use the link in the next post.

I wish I could but sadly that is shortly after my work starts back up for the year. Not exactly the best time for taking vacation :)
We may be camping in the Northern Florida pan-handle area during part of January, but not going that far south.
Have fun!

When you mentioned Three Rivers in another thread, I checked out the campground and decided to camp there some during the winter. My Wife likes fishing and I remember you saying you can cast a line from your favorite site.
Thanks!!!!!!!
Well, so far it will be a mini-mini meetup. Me! This is a problem with such a small group. As time goes on and we add more members, we will see more possibilities.

My Camplite is winterized and in a storage facility :(
Karen and I have it pencilled in.
Maybe on Senior Citizen Day?
Hi Fellow Campers,
I am Kool Karen ((Karen Benson), wife of Fast Eddie (Ed Benson)
Fast Eddie has been posting for a little while but I am new to the forum. We are from Mineral Bluff, GA and have a 21BHS.
We are planning on attending the RV Show. Has it been decided to meet up somewhere?
Welcome, Kool Karen. So far, it is you, your husband, and me at the Tampa RV show. Livin Lite will have a display. What if we met there on Wednesday? That is Senior Citizen Day. If that works, then we need to decide on a time.
OK, WHEW! Now that we survived the holidays and the grandsons visiting, we are firming up our plans for the remainder of January.
If all goes well, we plan on pulling out from N GA sometime Monday morning, the 12th, and camp somewhere along the way to the RV Show. We plan on arriving sometime mid-afternoon on Tuesday, the 13th, and plan on camping at the show. We are up for meeting whomever would like to meet for lunch somewhere Wednesday. We'll be leaving the show sometime mid-late afternoon Wednesday and heading to The Light Sport Expo in Sebring. Let us know if anyone is going to be there also.
Keep warm wherever you may be.
Kool Karen
FYI the above post from "Guest" was from me :)(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7581/15805295982_2972d1bfae_c.jpg)
I am heading south to Florida, right now I am holed up in a hotel room watching the snow blowing around. I expect to be close to Tampa this weekend. 10 degrees outside - don't want to think about the wind chill. Lunch works for me. There must be a food court or something at the RV show.
Enjoy the show and please report back on the livinlite display. I'd be curious to hear about their 5th wheels if they have any on display. I don't think we have any active 5th wheel owners on this forum. I'm definitely camping at the Hershey show in September so I'll put out a thread before that to see if anyone is interesting in meeting up. Last year they did NOT have a livinlite display.
We were going to visit Florida next week, but can't make it after all.
Hope everyone has a great camping trip!
We would love a mini-meetup but won't be there 'til Friday, at the earliest. How long will you be there, Leslie? It would be good to meet you and commiserate over the wood in our 'all-aluminum' trailers! :D :P (rofl) (sometimes just gotta laugh not to cry!) Anyway, how might we find you?
I will be near Tampa until at least the 19th, maybe a bit later. I will message you.
Made it to the Walmart in Lake City, FL:

Maybe lunch tomorrow at Cedar Key, then on to the Tampa Fairgrounds to camp tomorrow night and then do the show on Wednesday.
See ya!
Between the thunderstorms and the intense rain following, I didn't think you were going to make it here on Monday. See you Wednesday! Stay dry! (The dogs and I didn't stay dry, but then that is camping)
Aiming for about 11 AM tomorrow at the Livin' Lite display.

See you and Kool Karen @ LL display @ 11 AM. Loking forward to this!
[font face="arial" size="1"]I met up with Eddie and Karen. Enjoyed the show. We decided which LL product we want for our next camper! Eddie will post pictures. We shared pictures of our dogs. Forgot the pics of the grandkids! Oh well, next time.[/font]
What kind of show did E&K put on ?

The living area has 2 slide-outs, which provided a lot of room in which to move around. The interior had a very residential feel. LL is using real wood for tbe cabinetry, so if that is what floats your boat, there it is.
Perhaps Eddie and Karen can fill in more info. I am not that interested in a 5th wheel, because even the smallest one is going to need a good-size truck, and I tow with a Jeep. I am not interested in having wood in the trailer.
Eddie and Karen are busy camping now. When Eddie gets a chance, he will post pics of the trailer that most impressed us. It even made me think about getting a truck for a tow vehicle! Stay tuned.

I wanna know one thing from Eddie, and it's this. The hat. Does she actually have that hat ?

I have a hat that looks similar to the avatar's hat, but I didn't wear it to the RV show. Why not? I put it somewhere in the camper and now I can't find it!

Check where you keep your funnels!

[p]Here's [a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrzMhU_4m-g"]a lady who wears a funnel for a hat[/a].[/p][p]

Nice catch!
A classic movie!

[/p][/quote]I think the hat is in the same place as my bottle opener. I can't find that either. The only other explanation is that the camper ATE them. Yes, campers do that!
Mind you, I'm NOT saying she's a witch.
But I can't say she's not...

Okay, I can play this game. Just because you fellows think you have a couple of things I don't have, think again. I just hang mine in a different place and mine are bigger!
