Even as the warmer months fade, the thrill of planning our next getaway is just heating up. Whether our travel dreams involve cruising the Maritimes, exploring the American Southwest, or chasing the sun down to Mexico, pulling off the ultimate road trip takes preparation. That is exactly why the 2026 Snowbird RV Show & Sale—happening September 17th to 20th at the Tradex in Abbotsford—is the perfect launching pad for our upcoming travel season.
Thirty Years of Wanderlust
For over three decades, this event has stood as Western Canada’s premier autumn showcase for the recreational vehicle lifestyle. It serves as a massive hub for our road-tripping community, bringing together top-tier dealerships, industry experts, and lifestyle exhibitors.
Show Director Mandi Brix sums it up perfectly: "The Snowbird RV Show is where winter travel begins. Whether you're planning a few weeks exploring British Columbia, a cross-country Canadian adventure, or months travelling through the United States or Mexico, the show gives visitors the opportunity to compare RVs, learn from industry experts, and start planning their next great journey."

Touring 200+ Homes on Wheels
The main attraction is the sprawling 120,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibition space. With over 200 brand-new models to explore, we can easily hop in and out of different floor plans. It is the perfect chance to compare ultra-light travel trailers, agile camper vans, spacious fifth wheels, and luxurious motorhomes side-by-side. Plus, having knowledgeable dealership staff on hand means quick answers to our highly specific layout or towing questions without driving from lot to lot.
Gear, Tech, and Seminars
Nomadic living requires more than just wheels. Over 25 exhibitors will be on-site showcasing outdoor products, camping accessories, travel solutions, and the latest RV technology. The event is also packed with educational seminars led by seasoned pros. Expect practical, hard-earned advice on crucial topics like optimizing solar power setups, mastering towing techniques, staying on top of vehicle maintenance, and mapping out the best long-haul routes.
