Spring has sprung and the BC Interior RV Show is here. The Annual BC Interior RV Show at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre (PTCC) and the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) – the best RV consumer show in the Interior – is April 25 to 27, 2014.
Over the past two years, more than 10,000 visitors from all over the Pacific Northwest have attended the event. In 2013, net proceeds were donated to the Salvation Army Community Food Bank along with over 1,200 lbs of non-perishable food. There were hourly information sessions, a number of large format RV dealer displays in three different locations, not to mention fantastic door prizes and giveaways. And a bigger show is being planned for 2014. 'This RV show is fantastic', confided a guest from Salmon Arm.
Once again, the volunteer society will bring together a number of entertaining and informative seminars and invite even more RV dealers and suppliers. The society has secured RV dealers from throughout BC: Country RV (Kelowna), Country Camping Leisure Products (Salmon Arm), Fraserway RV (Penticton), Leisureland RV (Penticton), Midtown RV (Penticton), O'Connors RV (Chilliwack), Okanagan Travel Land (Summerland), and Traveland Westgate RV (Kelowna).
Each RV dealer will be bringing different models and brands – so the public will have an opportunity to explore hundreds of models at the same time and in the same location. There will be a number of draws and all attendees who keep their wristband on will have two-for-one access to the City of Penticton Recreation Centre swimming pool and fitness centre during the days of the event.
Major RV suppliers will be located on the plaza and in the parking lot of the SOEC, inside the SOEC arena, and the Okanagan Hockey School (OHS) arena. Then travel down the corridor to the PTCC to explore the latest gadgets, supplies and RV experience enhancing products, listen in on the information sessions and view even more 2014 RV models.
Net proceeds from your $5 wristband will be donated to charity. The non-transferable wristband will allow you to come and go from the event over the three days plus visit all of the venues on the 4-acre complex. Allowing you time to compare the hundreds of units in the 80,000 sq ft of indoor space, attend the various sessions, view the different vendor booths, enter all of the draws and reconnect with your RV-traveling friends. Wristbands are available for purchase on-site - cash only - at the entrance of the SOEC and the PTCC, and please remember to bring a non-perishable food item for our local food bank.
“If you are already a member of the RV community or have dreams of enjoying this rewarding lifestyle, this is a 'must see' event, mark it on your calendar and come down to the biggest RV show in the Okanagan” exclaims BC Interior RV Society Chairperson, Al Mullins.
