Affinity Events To Host 17 RV Events During Spring 2010 Show Season

Coming off a successful fall show season, Affinity Events will host 17 consumer RV shows during the 2010 spring show season. Affinity Events and show exhibitors are combining efforts to bring the latest RV models and camping supplies to outdoor recreation enthusiasts across the country. The upcoming shows will also feature various campgrounds from across the United States, offering RVers a chance to shop and plan an exciting summer vacation.

“Our fall shows helped bring RV dealers and enthusiasts together at a critical time in the RV industry,” said Tom Gaither, senior V.P. of Affinity Events. “It was a win-win show season. Our exhibiting dealers moved inventory and buyers capitalized on ‘Screamin’ Deals’ offered at the shows.” The Affinity Events fall RV shows drew strong crowds and helped participating dealers sell to first-time buyers as well as long-time RV enthusiasts. Gaither points to Affinity’s strong connections to RV enthusiasts through its many clubs, services, media outlets and events as a key differentiator for Affinity shows. “The relationships we maintain with RVers offer us an intimate understanding of the RV industry,” said Gaither. “We are proud to match RV buyers with dealers and we look forward to continued success for our show exhibitors in 2010.”

This year’s Affinity Events spring RV Shows will feature the latest RV models with show-only “Screamin’ Deals” as well as the most up-to-date RV accessories and camping information, supplies and accessories. The events will be the best place for local RV enthusiasts to gear up for the next season and get started planning their RV vacations for 2010.

New this year, attendees who purchase an RV at the shows will receive an “RV Getaway Gift Package”. The one-of-a-kind gift package is a special offer from Affinity Events to those who purchase an RV at the show. “We want to ensure RVers are ready to hit the road in their new rigs by supplying them with the best information and resources available,” says Jeff Haughton, V.P. of Affinity Events.
