Going to the Hershey RV Show? Start with a Plan.

The Hershey RV Show, officially known as America’s Largest RV Show, is one of the biggest RV shopping events in the country. It is a great place to see new RVs, compare brands, walk through floorplans, and get excited about the camping lifestyle.

It can also be overwhelming. There are a lot of RVs, a lot of salespeople, and a lot of “show special” pricing that can make buyers feel like they need to decide immediately.

Fretz RV in Souderton, PA gives shoppers a different way to buy. We are an employee-owned RV dealership focused on helping you find the right RV, understand the full deal, and feel supported long after you leave the lot. We care about getting you out making memories, not just the quantity of sales.

Smart RV Shopping Tips for the Hershey RV Show

The Hershey RV Show is a major sales event. That means many salespeople are brought there for one main reason: to sell RVs during the show. There is nothing wrong with shopping a show, but buyers should understand the environment before placing a deposit.

Some large-volume dealers may focus heavily on quick deposits and show-day numbers. If you feel rushed, pressured, or unsure, walk away. There are almost always other dealers who can help you find the same RV, a similar RV, or a better fit at a competitive price.

Do Not Let Pressure Make the Decision

If a salesperson tells you the deal is only good right now, take a breath. A good RV purchase should feel clear, comfortable, and informed. If it does not, get the quote and bring it to a dealership that will take the time to explain the numbers.

Get the Quote in Writing

Before you place a deposit, ask for the full quote in writing. A written quote helps you compare the RV, equipment, fees, trade value, financing terms, and bottom-line number with another dealer.

Do Not Let a Low Advertised Price Fool You

A low sale price does not always mean the lowest total cost. Always ask for the final bottom-line number, including dealer fees, prep fees, documentation fees, freight, accessories, taxes, title, registration, and any required add-ons.

Fretz RV shopping tip: Compare the complete deal, not just the headline price. If you get a Hershey RV Show quote, bring it to Fretz RV. We will help you review it, compare options, and understand what you are really paying for.

At Fretz RV, It’s Different

Fretz RV is an employee-owned dealership, and that matters. Our team is invested in the long-term success of the customer, the dealership, and the camping experience. We are not here just to collect a deposit and move on to the next sale.

We care about helping you choose an RV that fits your family, your travel style, your tow vehicle, your budget, and your long-term plans. Our goal is simple: help you get out making memories with the right support system behind you.

Fretz R-VIP Benefits for RV Buyers

When you buy a qualifying new or used RV from Fretz RV, you receive valuable Fretz R-VIP benefits designed to support your camping lifestyle after the sale. It is one more reason to shop with an employee-owned dealership that cares about your ownership experience, not just the day you buy.

  • 24/7 technical support for RV system questions
  • Roadside assistance for towing, tire help, jump-starts, lockouts, emergency fuel delivery, and more

Shop Before the Hershey RV Show

Before heading to Hershey, it helps to know what type of RV fits your travel style. Visiting Fretz RV before the show can make your Hershey RV Show trip easier because you can narrow down your must-have features ahead of time.

For First-Time RV Buyers

Learn the difference between towables, motorhomes, camper vans, fifth wheels, warranties, service needs, and ownership costs before walking the show.

For Families

Compare bunkhouse layouts, sleeping capacity, storage, bathroom setups, kitchen space, and towability.

For Couples & Retirees

Explore easier-to-drive motorhomes, lightweight trailers, premium touring coaches, and Class B camper vans.

Shop After the Hershey RV Show

After a full day at the Hershey RV Show, many shoppers leave with notes, photos, questions, and a long list of models to compare. Fretz RV can help you sort through what you saw and decide which RV truly fits your lifestyle and budget.

If you received a quote at the show, bring it to Fretz RV. We can review the equipment, fees, bottom-line number, financing terms, trade-in details, and availability so you can make a more confident decision.

The goal is not just to buy an RV. The goal is to buy the right RV from a dealership that will still be there when you need help, service, parts, advice, or support after the sale.

Compare RV Brands Before or After the Show

Fretz RV can help shoppers compare popular RV brands such as Pleasure-Way, Leisure Travel Vans, Storyteller Overland, and Renegade RV. These are great brands to research if you are looking at Class B camper vans, Class B+ motorhomes, touring coaches, adventure vans, or premium motorhomes.

We may also carry additional RV brands that we do not represent at the Hershey RV Show. If you are shopping for a Winnebago, Jayco, Ember RV, or another new or used RV brand, contact Fretz RV and let us know what model you are comparing.

Have a good price on a Winnebago, Jayco, Ember RV, or another RV? Bring it to Fretz RV. We will do our best to match or beat it whenever possible, based on current availability, model, equipment, pricing terms, and dealer programs.
