ELKHART — Recreational vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and dealers are converging this week to talk shop.

Elkhart, “the RV capital of the world,” is home for what has become an annual end-of-September trade show that includes both a showcase of the latest RVs as well as exhibits from suppliers.

Industry professionals and dealers from near and far attend the event to plan their inventories for the next season.

“This is a good time to show merchandise before the calendar clicks over to another year,” Paul Campbell, director of marketing for Gulfstream Coast, told The Goshen News for a story published Sept. 27.

Executives for Elkhart RV manufacturers Thor Industries and Forest River have been key in organizing and growing the annual gathering, according to reporting by RV Business magazine and Aboutcamp BtoB.

The event is not open to the public.
