Boston RV is going on all week

The 40th New England RV and Camping show at the Bayside Expo Center in Boston, MA is now in progress. Since the Patriots are not playing in the AFC title game and the weather has been on the mild side (people thinking about camping), I bet today is going to be a hopping day!

Here is some information.

Admission:
Adults $9
Kids (6-12) $4
Under 6 - Free

Parking: $12.00

(800) 225 1577

More information about other shows check out my show page.

Why are RV dealers are so lax on their websites?

It seems that the RV dealers for whatever reason are not updating their websites in a timely fashion.

I know Palomino is coming out with a 40' Park Trailer but there is NO mention of this on their web site. I guess this forces you to visit the RV dealer. NewEnglander's: Camper's Inn of Kingston in Merrimack, NH will be selling this new addition in the spring (most likely). Ask for John Vadala (he is a very nice and non-sleazy salesman).

The Forest River's Salem line, web site is still showing the 2005 Floor Plans even though the 2006 models have been out for quite some time now, not to mention that they have different model numbers based on what quarter they were made (e.g., Salem 381, 391, 392, etc.). Confusing?

Skyline RV, makers of Nomad and Layton, seems to keep their website up and fresh.

I'll check how Keystone does at a more reasonable hour!

Springfield Show Comments from RV.Net

When comparing the Springfield show with the Boston show some people write the following:

The cost is less for the vendors, dealers and the attendees. Note that there is a discount coupon on the website. There are also activities to help entertain the youngsters. You can easily spend a whole day there.

Have you tried the one in Springfield (Agawam) Mass week end of Feb 18 - Last year it filled 3 bldgs. Awesome.

NH Shrinking their camping show?

Why is NH Campground Owners Association shrinking their camping show? Anyone know?

New Camping Shows added to page

In verifying my camping show page I found three NEW shows:

Two in Mass
* Central New England
* Gillette Stadium Show

1 in New Hampshire
* Granite State Show

I've also updated some of the information of some of the other pages. Parking is $12 at the Boston show. Is that one really good? I couldn't get a square footage on that one. The Springfield one claims to be the largest in the Northeast. Anyone have any opinion on that?

Fun at King Pine

Our family headed to Danforth Bay's "sister site/business" King Pine Ski Area at Purity Springs Resort today (1/7/06). First of all it was very weird (but nice) seeing all the summer Danforth Bay office and cleaning staff working at the King Pine ticket counter. It was great to see them and I think it was weird to see us there as well, as one of them said to us... "oh we usually see you in the summer".

Secondly, if you get there a little bit late... not to worry... King Pine has a 8-4 or a 12:30-9 full day pass!!! This worked out perfectly for us since we arrived at 11:30 and stayed until 6pm (we could have stayed later but I head enough). The night skiing was a lot of fun.

The best thing of King Pine is that the lifts lines are VERY short (even during peak hours on a Saturday) and they have a really nice area to warm up and eat lunch! The chicken strips and french fries were very good. King Pine allows you to bring in a lunch made from home.

One of the girls who mans the snack bar at Danforth Bay in the summer watched our little 1 year old at King Pine's very affordable nursery. Lianna went to ski-skool. She learned the basics but near the end she was a little bit bored but can't wait to go again! She wants to go on the tow ropes and lifts like her big brother and sister.

Niki was slightly disappointed with the terrain park (a good portion of it was closed) and "only had 2 jumps" but Austin and I found that the intermediate trails were awesome and well groomed with GREAT snow! They were making snow all day. NO ICE! We also like swerving in between trees once your got off the Powder Bear lift.

Overall, King Pine is a GREAT family place and suits many needs for a bustling family. The highly advanced skiiers might find this place a little bit lacking. However, with ski resorts prices skyrocketting these days, King Pine remains a GREAT value and lots of fun.

Live from Danforth Bay!

Hi Fellow Campers!

After a 3 month absense from DBCR we are up here at Danforth Bay on January 6th in one of the toasty warm cabins. Everything is perfect. The only crime is that several of the cabins are empty. In fact we may be the only cabin campers. There is plenty of heat and hot water here. If you plan your visit this winter at Danforth Bay's cabin you really only need to bring:

• Towels for the shower (which is in the cabin)
  
• Cooler to store ice-cubes
  
• TV (I'll check for cable hook-up later)
  
• Extra paper towels, napkins, etc. that you may typically use.
  

The only thing that I would add in the cabin is perhaps a small TV (and or radio). Guests have requested coffee makers. I'm really hoping that Danforth Bay store will be open so I get a hot cup of coffee before heading to King Pine.

Happy Camping!
