It was as big and as bold as ever. A really good show.
It's huge.
The SSSS takes up about 3/4 of the Orange County Fairgrounds, and that's a show.
Inside and outside displays. Everything for sale.
I know a lot of the owners of the big sand car building companies, not from the dunes or being active with closeure issues,, but from the Sundance Sandbar.
The mortgage crisis is starting to effect their sales we're told because many bought their toys with equity lines, or re-fi's, but not that far outta whack.
RV's still have good financing, and they can be written off outright, so they may take less of a hit in the changing market.
The hands down, most popular RV at the show is the Weekend Warrior FTL 40 to Fifty foot toyhauler.
They are distinctively apart from the rest of the RV makers with this particular unit.
I sat in one waiting for the rest of the family and listened to the comments of the "browsers".
Same gripes as they've heard over the past few years,, mostly from the moms, and groups of moms.
WW doesn't want to hear it, their minds are made up.
One mom told the factory rep: "You guys are $200 away from getting it right, and ya still don't get it".
Another group of moms: "You guys need a kick in the nutsack".
Duning chix are rough on the help.
Buying an RV and getting a girls take is really important I've stressed over the years. Chix see important quality of life features myopic guys overlook.
For instance, look over an RV ya really like. Then walk your squeeze through it and hear her takes. A real eye opener.
First thing she looks at how difficult is it going to be to do certain things guys will never do.
"Oh yea baby, that might be a problem". If she isn't happy,, ain't no one gonna be happy.
The displays of all the accessories, and cars and toys was mind boggling compaired to the first years show.
They do a teriffic job with the show. It's great.
The beer and cocktail gardens were in full operation, and some of the food was excellent.
The crowd is excellent too.
The displays were good, lot's of new stuff this year.
Free parking, kids free, $10 bux adults,, a good day for a good price.
