Summary
Show Overview
Dates: September 10–14, 2025
Location: Giant Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania — right next to Hersheypark
Public Hours: Wed–Sat 9:00 AM–7:00 PM; Sun 9:00 AM–5:00 PM

Official App: Search America’s Largest RV Show in your app store for maps, exhibitors, seminars, and more.
This is the show’s 56th year, with the Giant Center serving as its home base since 2005.
What Makes This Show Unique?
Unlike many regional RV shows, Hershey is organized by manufacturers rather than dealers. That makes shopping and comparing much more efficient:
Brands are grouped together so you can head straight to the ones you’re interested in.
You can compare different models from the same manufacturer side by side.
Less bouncing between mixed-brand dealer areas; more focused time evaluating rigs.
You’ll find 1,400–1,500 RVs across every category—pop-ups, hybrids, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, camper vans, Class C’s, and luxury Class A’s. See the up-to-date manufacturer list here: Manufacturers on Display.
Plan Your Route: Maps, Layout & Strategy
The fastest way to beat getting overwhelmed is to arrive with a plan. Start by reviewing the Show Layout & Maps and building a route that clusters your must-see brands together. Grab a printed map at the entrance and keep the show app open on your phone for quick reference.
Pro Navigation Tip: The outdoor map includes numbered light pole indicators. If you lose your bearings, find the nearest light pole, match its number to the map, and you’ll instantly know where you are.
The Giant Center: A Show Within the Show
Outside is all about RVs. Inside the Giant Center, you’ll find more than 200 booth vendors covering the rest of your RV life—gear, services, and destinations. Expect:
Campground and destination reps
RV accessories, parts, and maintenance products
Insurance providers, hitch/sway systems, and more
A downstairs “store” area similar to a dealership parts department
Even if you’re not buying a rig this year, you can happily spend hours exploring gadgets and talking upcoming trips. For the evolving 2025 list, check Booth Vendors.
Educational Seminars (Included with Your Ticket)
Seminars run hourly inside the Giant Center and are included in your admission. Topics range from beginner basics to advanced skills:
How to choose the right RV
Maintenance and safety must-knows
Full-time RVing, work-on-the-road, and logistics (like mail and domicile)
Industry experts present throughout the week. See the current schedules here: Seminars & Presenters.
Influencer Meet & Greets
Meet popular RV creators in the dedicated Influencer Tent by the West/Orange Gate.
