LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Every year, as the RV PRO editorial staff wanders around the Kentucky Exposition Center halls, we are on the hunt for something special – the best of the best.
As we talk with manufacturer’s product managers and rummage through the nooks and crannies of as many RVs as we can get to in three days, we are looking for things that stand out as innovative with an eye toward quality and just plain “wow” factor.
Admittedly, the RV PRO Best of Show selection process is subjective, based on our own tastes and on our experience of what we have seen over the past 13 years. Also, we try to represent the various categories of vehicles as broadly as possible.
So, if any given year everybody and their brother is debuting a new Class C motorized vehicle, it might be harder to get recognized in that category than in the toy hauler category, for example.
Below, in no particular order, is this year’s list of RV PRO’s Best of Show winners. To learn more details about the vehicles and hear from the product managers, be sure to read the upcoming January issue of RV PRO.
