Tampa RV Supershow

Gracie (our motorhome) is a Newmar Dutch Star. As a result, we belong to the Newmar Kountry Klub, a group for Newmar owners that puts on rallies and events across the country.

So, on Tuesday morning, we packed up and moved from our site at Orlando Thousand Trails...

...and drove a little over an hour to...

Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida, location of the second largest RV show in the US, the Tampa RV Supershow!

The Newmar Kountry Klub (NKK) had sent us information letting us know which fairground entrance we should use. On our way, we saw a lot of RVs going to different places on the fairgrounds, but only Newmars coming in via our gate.

Staging area where we unhooked towed vehicles and waited to be escorted to our site.

Escort to our site -- Carl is in Gracie ahead of me, following the golf cart, and I'm behind driving the Jeep.

After our experience in March 2022 volunteering with the parking team for the FMCA Tucson Convention(https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2022/03/first-day-of-parking-duties-at-fmca.html, https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2022/03/second-day-of-parking-team-duties-fmca.html, https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2022/03/third-day-of-parking-duties.html, https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-big-day-for-parking.html, and https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2022/03/so-monday-was-big-day-what-about-tuesday.html), we have a great appreciation for the folks helping with parking!

Parked in our site (you can see the red Jeep in front of Gracie). We are used to fairgrounds that are just big open fields, but there are beautiful trees (live oaks, I think) with Spanish Moss hanging down.

Another area of parking for the RVs.

NKK tent near where RVs are parked.

Opening session for the rally - introduction of leaders of NKK in attendance and overview of events.

There are 200+ coaches here with the Newmar group.
