New RVs Make Canadian Debut at Snowbird RV Show

From four-season campers and solar-powered trailers to luxury motorhomes built for months on the road, the featured RV lineup at this year’s Snowbird RV Show & Sale reflects how Canadians are travelling farther, staying on the road longer and embracing the freedom to explore on their own terms.

Returning to Tradex in Abbotsford from Sept. 17–20, the Snowbird RV Show & Sale brings together hundreds of RVs, leading dealerships, industry experts and outdoor lifestyle exhibitors, event coordinators said, giving visitors the opportunity to compare the latest models and find the right RV for their next adventure, whether that means exploring closer to home, heading south for the winter or embarking on an extended road trip across North America.

“The Snowbird RV Show is where winter travel begins,” said Mandi Brix, show director. “People come to the show with all kinds of travel plans, and the featured RVs this year really demonstrate what’s possible. From compact four-season campers to fully equipped motorhomes designed for extended travel, there are so many ways to make the road your destination.”
