This year's event features over 120 units and is taking up both main showrooms at the convention center and some hall space as well. Pleasureland RV Sales Manager Vinny Binsfeld says the expo is a great way for them to showcase everything they have to offer:

"Yeah, it's a great way for us to showcase what we have for inventory, just to have people come in, in a climate-controlled atmosphere, and let everybody see what's new out there and just kind of get the excitement for Spring building."
