Step inside the most impressive RVs hitting the market in 2027 in Tampa, Florida. That’s right, the Florida RV SuperShow is back for its 42nd year. It’s one of the biggest travel shows in the United States featuring top motorhome manufacturers like Prevost and Florida RV resort collections like Cove Communities.
There’s plenty of ground to cover when attending the Tampa RV show.
The massive event covers 2 million square feet of exhibit space. So bring your walking shoes starting January 13 and prepare to be wowed. But first, see these 7 tips from RV show pros to streamline your Tampa experience.
1. How to Attend the 2027 Florida RV SuperShow
Where: The Florida RV Supershow is held at the Florida State Fairgrounds
4800 US Highway 301Â
Tampa, FL 33610
When:
- Wednesday, January 13 – Saturday, Jan. 16 from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
- Sunday, Jan. 17 from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
What to Expect: The RV SuperShow features everything “RV” in one space. There are 275 booths aimed at seasoned RVers and those new to tiny living and the RV lifestyle.
You will find all types of recreational vehicles. Tour toy haulers, motorcoaches, travel trailers, tiny homes, bus conversions, and modern luxury motorhomes.
2. Formulate Your RV SuperShow Plan
Do yourself a favor and do a little bit of research before arriving at the SuperShow. The Florida RV Trade Association publishes maps and vendor lists online before the show.
The packed RV Show schedule includes educational seminars, entertainment, and the latest innovative RV products. Or download the RV SuperShow app to access the show details directly from your smartphone.
Next, decide what matters most during your visit. Some people attend to compare new motorhomes. Others are searching for towing equipment, campground information, or travel ideas. Mark those priorities first and build the rest of your day around them.
The two exhibit halls are packed with RV dealers, accessories, tourism information, and services. More displays continue outside across the fairgrounds. Planning your route ahead of time means less time searching for booths and more time seeing what they offer.
Take a photo of the manufacturer and model number before walking inside recreational vehicles. After several tours, the kitchens, storage spaces, and floor plans can start to blend together. A quick photo will help you match each interior to the correct model later.
The Tampa RV show is also a good place to compare different styles of travel. Walk through a luxury motorcoach, even if it is outside your budget. Many of these models feature cutting-edge upgrades and space-saving ideas that eventually appear in more affordable RV models.

Then take a look at the smaller options. Camper vans continue to gain attention from travelers who want something easier to drive, park, and manage. Review the top camper vans built for road trips and RV resorts before the show to see which brands deserve a place on your list.
Leave time to plan where you will travel too. Visit Cove Communities at booths B320 and B321 to check out incredible waterfront resorts for your next adventure like Big Pine Key RV Park in the Florida Keys or CreekFire RV Resort in Savannah, Georgia.
3. Comfort is Key: Wear Supportive Shoes
The SuperShow will give you a workout while you wander. Track your steps while exploring the RV lifestyle by wearing your Fitbit or step tracker.
The exhibits stretch across indoor and outdoor display areas. You will also be climbing steps and moving through RVs throughout the day. Comfortable shoes will help you stay focused on the show instead of your feet.
Take a break when you need one. Use that time to look through your photos and narrow down which booths you may want to revisit. This can prevent you from walking back across the fairgrounds for a model that was never a serious contender.
For RV SuperShow attendees who need more support, Scootaround offers wheelchairs and scooter rentals throughout the event.
4. Gather Your SuperShow Crew, Pets Included!
Yes, the RV Supershow is pet-friendly.
You’ll find plenty of pet-focused RV accessories and pet-friendly RV resorts throughout the exhibit. Bring a leash, portable water bowl, waste bags, and anything else your pet may need for a full day. Keep in mind that the show can be crowded and noisy. Pets that are uncomfortable around large groups may have a better day at home.
Bringing your dog can help you look at RV layouts in a new way. Is there space for a pet bed without blocking the walkway? Where would you store food, leashes, and outdoor gear?
Guests who want to stay close to the event can explore overnight dry camping at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Check the show website for reservation information before arriving because spaces may be limited.
5. Take Advantage of RV SuperShow Deals Early
Save money and handle your tickets before show day. Online ticket sales typically open in November or December, giving you time to plan ahead and avoid another purchase at the gate.
Remember to include parking in your budget too. The initial fee is $12 per car or $20 per RV. Many vendors accept cards, but carrying some cash can still be helpful for parking, food, or smaller purchases during the day.
RV sales are a major part of the Florida RV SuperShow. Dealers bring new models, show pricing, and limited-time offers that make it easier to compare several options in one place.
Before arriving, set a budget and create a list of the features that matter most. That list can help you stay focused when upgraded appliances, larger televisions, and luxury finishes start competing for your attention.
Ask what is included in the displayed price before making a decision. Some show models include upgraded technology, appliances, furniture, or finishes that cost more than the standard version. Be sure to ask about warranties, financing terms, delivery fees, and other expenses that could affect the final price.
It also helps to learn from people who have attended the show before. One experienced traveler shared useful observations from the Florida RV SuperShow after walking through the exhibits. Her experience is a reminder to take your time, compare the details, and think about how each RV would work once the show is over.
RV deals are not limited to new vehicles. Vendors throughout the event also offer discounts, giveaways, travel products, and free swag.
Cove Communities has not released its 2027 SuperShow offers yet. In past years, visitors could spin the prize wheel for free items and learn about exclusive vacation deals available during the event. Check back in November for details, then visit booths B320 and B321 during the show.
6. Bring Water and Snacks
Grab a few extra must-haves before leaving the house. Bring a refillable water bottle and simple snacks to stay focused while comparing new models and searching for the best deals.
A portable phone charger can also be useful because you may use your phone all day for the map, app, photos, notes, and QR codes.
Take a real lunch break too. Use that time to compare notes and decide which booths are worth another visit.
7. Pace Yourself and Have Fun!
These shows give attendees the chance to sample and learn about almost every part of the RV lifestyle. Take your time and experience more than the sales displays.
Attend a cooking seminar, sit on the furniture inside a new RV, and ask questions. Open the cabinets, test the bed, and look through the storage areas. These small checks can tell you whether a layout would work during a real trip.
You probably will not see everything in one day. Focus on your priorities and leave room for an unexpected product, RV, or destination that catches your attention.
Before heading home, review your photos and choose what you want to research further. Most importantly, have fun. The Florida RV SuperShow is a place to compare what is new, learn from RV experts, and start planning the road trips ahead.
