Not this year but we’ve been to many. Always a good time with like minded folks. Talked with my camper builder about my truck being in a booth but they just couldn’t commit to it being done on time. You’ll have a great time. I have friends for life I’ve met at these events.

How does this event compare to the Colorado/AZ shows?

I've been there the past three years. Going to skip this year as the vendors I go to see haven't been showing up or skip out early.

You guys need an extra rig in your booth?

Honestly…. East is not nearly as good as West. But it’s still a good time. I haven’t done CO but had a buddy that went this year. He had fun but only did a day pass since he already lives in CO.

Appreciate the offer! We're actually displaying a few vehicles in Smartcap's booth and will be onsite with them. But stop by and say hello.

Wow....talk about sensory overload. Plenty of stuff to drool over. Glad I left the Platinum card at home!!

Talked to a quite a few people over different things. Got to see a few trailers/vans in person with the "sales" pressure. I was sort of amazed at the swing in pricing of rigs. Mild tow trailers, full on overland builds on truck chassis, to the Mercedes van chassis built up. Some things were just not my style, some made my mind start dreaming.
Best thing about the show was not one taser sales booth.
Meet some other folks attending the show at the food area (Bronco Nation peeps).
Talked to a guy and his wife about their modded SD. The rear bed was removed, the back cab had a pass/walk through cut out. Pretty cool setup when all the work was done.
We had a great time, picked up some swag on the way out.
