The largest RV show in Washington will bring hundreds of RVs from multiple dealerships to the Century Link Field and Event Center. Dealers will compete for business with show prices, factory incentives and special financing options. The selection will include both brand-new 2012 RVs as well as closeout sales on 2011 models.

The Seattle RV Show has been produced by the Manufactured Home and RV Show Association for 49 years. Dave Helgeson, the show director, said 2012 should be a strong year for the RV industry, based on increased shipments by manufacturers and attendance at shows nationwide.  He said about 40 percent of the people who attend the Seattle show are existing RV owners, while the rest are interested in buying their first RV or learning more about the lifestyle.

For the first time, the show will have the Washington State Employees Credit Union as a presenting sponsor. Representatives of the credit union, which primarily serves public employees and their families, will be at the show to assist with RV loan applications.

The event will include RV seminars and John Holod’s RV Adventure Videos. The show will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For information, visit theSeattleRVShow.com.

Admission is $11 for adults, $10 for persons 62 and older, $8 for students from 13 to 18, and free for children 12 and younger.  Free parking will be available with tickets purchased online at theSeattleRVShow.com.
