today we're going to talk to you guys about the ins and outs of the 2022 tampa rv show wow
so the outs the outside of the tampa rv show there's gonna be over 1300 or so
rvs so that means rvs and then rvs and then more rvs barbies and they're not just rvs so like
we did a video last year on this um it's like a jump up jumping jack trailer jumping jack trailer
it literally looked like a utility trailer and you could put like four wheelers and stuff on top of
it and then when you got there and took them off the whole thing popped up into this huge
tent like i guess turned into like a big tent with cots and stuff already built in
but it was up in the trailer so you didn't have to worry about being down on the ground
if it flooded or whatever so we might buy one of those because they were pretty neat
maybe not but anyway everything from that to things that like pop up in the back of
your pickup truck and i don't mean like the hard shells like like a tent with an air mattress that
fits in the back of your pickup or they even had jeeps that like it popped up on the top of
their jeep everything from that so they'll have those neat things and they'll also have your pop
regular pop-ups tear drops your travel trailers your fifth wheels your toy haulers
class a b c b c and i mean like stupid million dollar rides class ace like we had one that you
had to take your shoes off before you can go inside so marble floors and you haven't seen
my feet i don't want to talk crazy crazy so from this to that and everything in between
lots and lots to take in and that's just what's outside the food trucks too there's
there's plenty of food out there there's there's um the little guy that runs around on the stilts
there's all kinds of entertainment there's a lot of entertainment it's not just us we're
not the only entertainment that's going to be there this rv show is not just your average
like so we're from the richmond virginia area and there's a there's an rv show
at the racetrack every year you pay your money you go inside you look at some rvs and you leave some
and it's it seems like a lot but then when you get to somewhere like tampa and it's overwhelming
because this place is taking up the entire florida state fairgrounds if that helps you think about
the enormity of it all like there are just campers and campers and campers and campers and vendors
and vendors and vendors and vendors and like at home when you go to the tiny rv show at home um
there's to be like you know like the the cutco knife guy and like most of the campgrounds are
going to have booths and the state parks are going to have don't forget there's always a
booth at our local camp our local um show that's selling windows and siding yeah and gutters and
i'm sure they'll be at the championship they want to know if you want windows and something siding
and i said we live in a we live in our rv we don't really need gutters the side just doesn't work so
yeah and we don't need a we don't need a sun room as it turns out so that's what's on the outside so
there there is just if you walk the outside it's going to take you at least a day or two days to
walk the outside you haven't even gone inside yet not to mention getting your bearings because
i'm usually pretty good with directions she gets lost the first year i figured it out first year
i figured second third figured it out at the end of the first year the first year we walked around
and he said how do you keep getting lost you're always the one that knows where we're going you're
always the one that can figure out how to get where we're going why do we keep walking around
in circles she's my map i figured it out i still use the map but i did figure it out and now we
we navigate we still get lost but anyway that's the outsides the inside so the insides aren't
going to be the state park i mean they are but it's not just going to be a couple of campgrounds
and like the state parks and maybe like um you know some camping chairs and stuff like that it's
going to be like that on steroids plus if you're looking for a new trailer hitch reese is gonna
be there draw tight will be there pull right paul wright will be there i think anderson i
know anderson was at the hershey show i i guess they're gonna be there more rides going to be
there so more ride doesn't just have the hitches more ride has like the steps and and all kinds of
other fancy the neat little lights we put on our steps so when you walk up they turn on they'll
have all those there too that kind of stuff ride's going to be there leopard is going to be there
they have a lot of the same type of stuff as morocco the one good thing about lippert being
there if you have any questions because we had a problem with our leveling system and lippert was
there and we got one of the guys to decide and he walked us through what was going on with us
he well first he said because this year we weren't staying at the fairgrounds
i mean this year we are but this particular year that he's talking about we weren't
and he said are you guys staying here because if you are i'll run out there with you and take
a look at it and see if we can figure out what's going on so it's not just your your somebody work
in the booth most of the time there's going to be technicians there there's going to be
bigger people there that can help you with some other things so if you're having a question
or a problem with your pull right hitch or your more ride hitch or your lipper or your lip level
up or whatever it is there's somebody there can help you so and if not that's another good thing
about it and if not they can put you in touch with somebody that can and and they're there to
give you their names and their numbers and their emails so that's always very helpful well i know
last year coachnut was there so if you're looking for an extended warranty after you buy your
if you buy a new rig coach nuts there so you can talk to them and i think a lot of people
get i want to say we got coachnut for a year free when we bought our last camper so maybe if you
do that but you're not sure you know what it all entails they can explain that to you or they could
sell you you know a longer plan and then like i think progressive's usually there there's a
couple insurance companies there so you can talk to some insurance companies good sams is there
which is insurance too so you can talk to them and see if that's the plan that you want
and then like um banks there's all banks are there yeah so well of course because
they want to finance your big deal and if you're there to buy a big rig they want to be there
it doesn't matter what rig it is then there's also like this doesn't necessarily apply to us
but like the chassis people are there so like the chassis people for freightliner and stuff
like that they're they're showing you you'll see the whole traffic but like how it all comes
together and that kind of thing and then um your normal vendors just like the vendors we have at
home your cut codes your so like your cutco there's probably going to be a pampered chef
um one of my favorites we'll put a link up here is um grip stick and snap bags
if you don't have grip stick to snap backs you've got to check them out we've we've had
them for three or four years now and they are a there's a life saver inside so much space
and you know everything's reusable and that's a whole nother that's a squirrel moment i won't
i won't get off topic but i'm sure his name is dan right dan will be there and his crew
um there's jewelry cleaning so if you need your ring cleaned
she's going to she's going to get she's going to get you six or seven times when you walk by this
you've already cleaned it it's pretty clean and so the people that sell like those sun shades you
know like they slide into your awning and they extend down so it's just a shaded area there's
rb furniture there so if you want to check check out some new rv furniture there's there's chairs
and recliners there you can sit in them you can check them out see if you like them and the slushy
ladies there slushy she has wine slushies i'm not really such the big wine drinker but i'm she's
learning slushies the lady has slushies so it's like a slushy mix you add a bottle of wine you
put in the freezer you take it out and you have a adult slurpee if you're looking to sign up for a
thousand trails they'll be there thousand trails is there plus if you want to sign up with our guy
our link is in our description below he's great he'll tell you everything you need to know about
it remember we are a thousand trail members we use it we love it we hate it because i'm cheap we do
both consistently thrifty is one of our viewers i think so you have a thousand trails there you have
passport america passport america always puts on a pretty good deal there they always yeah they're
always offering a special and if you're already a passport america member they'll usually work
with you because so you can buy passport america i think it's one year or three years don't quote me
but i think that's what it is and then they have a lifetime membership so i think we're gonna get
that this time if you're already in the middle of like a one a three or a five year membership
they will work with you so that like what you paid goes toward the lifetime membership
or some i don't know they're always working some kind of deal to get you a discount on a lifetime
membership surge protectors too everybody needs a surge protector if you don't have
a surge protector on your camper it is everybody always when we first started going to the shows
we didn't believe that it was better to buy things at the shows because we didn't think it was better
pricing we did buy our last camper there so yeah that's where we got our fusion we ordered it in
tampa in 20 18 19 19 19. we ordered it and we got a good deal in january we picked it up in march
um and we got a killer deal that's not to say that you will it just depends you know different
different dealerships have different offerings and whatever and speaking of dealerships can i
just put in there real quick while we're on the subject we almost forgot a station identification
you're watching an episode of tuesday talks brought to you by finest camping carry on
camping world will not be there this year again so wait a minute can i just say real quick
they weren't there last year and whatever but they had this obnoxious keep the plane away
riding around carrying the banner saying you know come by came forward and get a great deal
super loud and it was like it was annoying so if camping world chooses not to be there that's their
choice but they don't need to be annoying about it but the downfall to that is um some of your brands
will not be there like i don't know exactly how it works but i know last year montana was not there
raptor was not there in hershey montana was not there and i was so shocked but however they decide
you know which dealership gets to come to the show and bring which brand it has something
to do with in the vicinity of you know the show whoever carries this brand can come or whatever
and bring their products so there's gonna be some brands that you're not gonna see there because
they're camping world brands and again now you can open worlds you can you can leave the show
and drive to camper world and i don't know how far it is it's not like forever and a day clearly
nearby and if you're looking for a specific thing and you wanted to see that then that's what the
show is for so you can see all the brands in one spot so camping world let's get back to the show
okay yeah i think camden world needs to come back to the show or they need to let go of their rights
and let somebody else bring it because let's face it when you come to tampa anything as big as the
tampa show you want to be able to see everything so anyway that's just a side note that's that's
a that's a a dealership or a vendor that won't be there can't find won't but i think i might be
speaking out of turn but i think general rv is the one that they will have a camp in store there so
um inside one of the buildings they fell into spots for camper world don't worry there's going
to be plenty there you just yeah maybe i think it was general last year so i'm assuming it's going
to be this year but like any of the things that you could buy in store at a general rv
um you know hoses sewer hoses camping chairs all that kind of stuff you're going to find it there
um another vendor that we got something last year and they were having a great deal on it at the
show was um gas stop so the little thing goes on our propane that way if you have a leak it
cuts the gas off just like that so it won't just keep pumping fuel out so as soon as it attacks a
leak it cuts the gas off so if you don't have one of those check them out we have a video we have a
video you can watch that video um i can't say like the manufacturers can't sell directly to you at
the show so you'll have to buy it like general had it at their store and they were running a
deal and general was running a discount so we got a really good deal on buying two of those
one for each tank so remember hershey's only two weeks away so we have one uh tampa oh and
tampa i'm sorry champions only two weeks away see hershey was a few months ago just because today
we're in florida and it's kind of cold so she's a little chilly she thinks she's in hershey now so
no i don't i know where i'm going i'm confused by the weather but i don't know where i am tampa
is only two weeks away so we have one more video come out the next video is going to be all about
tell them our thoughts or our tips on what you should do in preparation for going to a show
the size of tampa like what what you need to do to make that to prep yourself and i don't mean
do the rocky and go run 20 miles a day yeah but just just to kind of you know have a plan when
you get there so that you get the most out of the experience we're going to tell you what we plan on
how we do it what we do and how we bought our last camper that way maybe it'll help some of you guys
in the long run so because although sometimes we just fly by the seat of our pants in case you
can't tell but sometimes we do have a plan and when we go to a big show like hershey or tampa
we have a plan before we get there and we want to share that with you we do have one plan
that please stay somewhere warm no just meet as many of you as we can so if you're going to the
show and you want to meet me or me or us whichever one let us know let us know when you're going to
try to be there we want to meet you we want to meet as many as you can we've had a lot of
comments lately saying we want to meet you guys there we want to meet you we want to meet you so
the benefit is we want to be able to meet as many of you well and at hershey we couldn't meet as
many people because it was a long day and it was a lot of places to go um in tampa we're staying
at the fairgrounds so if we need a break we can just go back to camper and chill for a few minutes
and then if somebody's like hey can we meet you wherever whenever we can run right back in it's
not like we're staying 30 minutes away or we have to drive so we will be there we'll spend a lot of
time in the fusion booth but we will also spend the time checking out some other keystone products
um so yeah hit us up you can comment on this video you can instagram facebook any of those
and just say hey we're going to be here make sure you're following us on all the social media pages
all the social medias is fine to scamping so hit us up front us on all of them start following us
on instagram because we'll be posting where we are posting where we're going to be all that
kind of stuff so because we want to get to meet as many of you as you can can i just say where
we are now which is not too far from tampa we've met a ton of people just since we've been here
which has been really cool so so until you find us camping at the tampa show guys safe travels y'all
