COMMAND THE FLOOR!
YOUR PRESENCE IS YOUR POWER.
In the heart of the RV capital, your footprint isn’t just square footage. It is your industry authority. When thousands of decision-makers descend on Elkhart, Indiana, for the Open House week, you have one shot to be seen.
DO NOT BLEND IN.
Scroll down to discover why size defines your success at the 6th Annual RV/MH Hall of Fame Supplier Show.
THE ELKHART OPEN HOUSE SYNERGY!
THE ULTIMATE INDUSTRY CROSSROADS.
Every September, Elkhart County becomes the center of the RV universe. Over 10,000 dealers flood the region. They aren’t here for a vacation. They are here to see the largest players in the RV industry.
THE SUPPLIER SHOW IS THE HUB.
Located at the Northern Indiana Event Center (NIEC), our show runs alongside these massive OEM events. We provide the dedicated space where suppliers meet the manufacturers and dealers.

B2B FOCUS: ZERO FLUFF, ALL BUSINESS!
TARGETED TRAFFIC ONLY.
Forget the general public. This isn’t a “family day” out. This is a Trade-Only Event.
- NO tire-kickers.
- NO distractions.
- ONLY industry professionals.
- ONLY decision-makers.
MAXIMIZE YOUR ROI.
Every person walking the floor is a potential partner. When you invest in a larger footprint, you aren’t paying for “more space”: you are buying the ability to host high-level meetings right on the floor.
Professional networking in progress at the NIEC hall.
SIZE EQUALS STATURE!
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE FOOTPRINT.
Why go big? Because in the RV industry, visibility is credibility.
- ESTABLISH DOMINANCE. A large booth signals that your company is stable, growing, and a leader in the field.
- CREATE A DESTINATION. Small booths can feel like pass-throughs. Large footprints are destinations.
- OWN THE AISLE. A massive display forces attendees to stop. It breaks their walking rhythm. It demands attention.
