According to multiple sources, this year’s Elkhart Open House Week where manufacturers show off their newest models has been pushed back to Sept. 24-27.
The show traditionally has been held the third week in September, which made for a busy calendar. The PRVCA Hershey Show in Pennsylvania, which combines a manufacturer day with a consumer show, is held Sept. 12 to 16, as is the Southwest RV Supershow, which is in Dallas.
Giving dealers the extra week between those events could result in even larger attendance for Open House Week – especially now that the RV Industry Association’s annual show has been rescheduled for spring and likely will have more of a consumer flavor to it than the traditional Louisville, Ky.-based National RV Trade Show it replaces.
