Hello.

If anyone has or will be going to this show, could you let us know if AS is there and what they have displayed? Otherwise, what's the sense in going?

Also, I heard from a friend that the Chicago Auto show had a BaseCamp on display. Interesting.

Thanks.

Jonathan, Airstream will be there...they are at Rock Island show starting tomorrow. The new Bolingbrook dealer will be there...[Chicagoland RV]. They are an off shoot of the Davenport Iowa dealer US Adventure RV. The new store should be open soon on I-55 across the highway from Camping World.

Thanks for that info. I'll be there sometime this weekend, I'm sure. I wonder if the new AS dealership will have the same units that they had at the Boat and RV show at McCormick Place?

I will give my full report upon completion of my tour...

Greetings.

Attended the show last night. There was a 75th Aniver. Bambi, A 25' Aniverser. CCD, the skydeck, which I visited briefly, until someone cut the cheese and had to evacutate. There was also a Sprinter Westfalia.

They also had a basecamp, which was nice, but over priced at $20,000.

What I found interesting was the T@B. A cute little retro thing. This was not at the AS booth, but is part of the Thor company.

US Adventure also stated that they are trying to get the Bollingbrook store open soon, maybe in the next month.
