We spent the afternoon looking around at the North Atlanta RV Expo. Basically it was 4 RV dealers showing there. I didn't get excited about anything I saw there. If I had 40-70 thousand in my pocket I may have found something I liked but most were too big for my style of camping. I like state parks and corps of engineer campgrounds and the 5rs I saw were 37' to 42'+. They won't fit for my use. Lots of fireplaces and 55' televisions, again not what my idea of what camping is. This was the first day of the show and saw maybe a half dozen RV's with sold signs on them. I didn't see any bargain show prices. It looked like they were discounting 25% from MSRP and should be better than that. I talked to quite a few people that were 1st timers looking at the various RV on display. Most of these people had no idea of what they wanted or needed. I got to come home in the rush hour traffic which only took me 2 hours for 50 miles. Pretty good, just reminded me why I don't go through downtown Atlanta. But then when I was working it usually took me 3 hours to get home. Thank God that's over.
