2026 Florida RV SuperShow and Ft. Myers RV Show Celebrate Record-Breaking Success Across Florida
Florida once again proved why it is the epicenter of the RV industry as both the 2026 Florida RV SuperShow and the 2026 Ft. Myers RV Show delivered exceptional attendance, significant dealer engagement, and measurable sales momentum. From new product unveilings to packed seminar rooms and high-energy showgrounds, these events demonstrated the strength and resilience of the RV lifestyle market heading into 2026.
2026 Florida RV SuperShow Sets the Tone for the Year
Held annually at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, the 2026 Florida RV SuperShow once again lived up to its reputation as the largest RV show in the country. The multi-day event brought together leading manufacturers, top Florida dealers, suppliers, campground representatives, and RV enthusiasts from across North America.
Dealers reported strong foot traffic from opening day through the final afternoon, with serious buyers arriving prepared to compare models, floorplans, and financing options. One of the defining advantages of the SuperShow continues to be its multi-dealer format. Consumers can evaluate competing brands side by side without driving from dealership to dealership — a significant time and research advantage in today’s market.
The 2026 Florida RV SuperShow featured expanded displays of motorized and towable inventory, including advanced lithium battery systems, solar integrations, smart control panels, improved off-grid capability, and innovative interior layouts designed for extended travel. Manufacturers strategically timed new releases and prototype showcases to align with the event, creating excitement that translated into real purchase intent.
The RV Influencer Meet & Greets, hosted in the centrally located Pavilion building, generated consistent engagement and added a dynamic, community-driven component to the show. Educational seminars remained standing-room-only throughout the week, covering topics such as full-time RVing, maintenance best practices, technology upgrades, and travel planning.
Vendors representing campgrounds, accessories, finance, insurance, and service providers rounded out the ecosystem, reinforcing the SuperShow’s role not just as a sales event, but as a comprehensive industry marketplace.
Ft. Myers RV Show Expands Reach in Southwest Florida
Following the momentum of Tampa, the 2026 Ft. Myers RV Show at JetBlue Park delivered equally strong results for Southwest Florida. The new venue layout provided improved traffic flow, convenient parking, and expansive outdoor display areas that allowed dealers to showcase a wide range of motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and adventure vans.
Attendance reflected the continued demand for RV travel among retirees, seasonal residents, and working professionals seeking flexibility and lifestyle freedom. The Ft. Myers event attracted both first-time buyers and experienced RV owners looking to upgrade to 2026 model-year units featuring enhanced connectivity, energy efficiency, and modernized interiors.
Dealers noted that buyers are increasingly educated prior to arriving at the show. Many attendees conducted extensive online research beforehand and used the show environment to finalize decisions. The ability to walk through multiple brands in one afternoon remains a major differentiator for the show model versus individual dealership visits.
Vendor booths added depth to the experience, offering campground options throughout Florida, technology upgrades, outdoor gear, and service solutions. The atmosphere throughout the weekend reflected confidence — not only in individual purchases, but in the long-term stability of the RV lifestyle market.
Strong Sales Activity and Buyer Confidence
Both events demonstrated measurable commercial impact. Dealers reported qualified leads, same-day purchase agreements, and scheduled follow-up appointments. Financing partners onsite helped streamline transactions, reducing friction in the buying process.
The 2026 Florida RV SuperShow in particular serves as a bellwether for the national RV market. When attendance is high and dealer engagement is strong in Tampa, it signals broader consumer confidence. The same held true in Ft. Myers, where regional buyers showed a willingness to invest in travel flexibility and experiential living.
The growth of remote work, blended retirement lifestyles, and interest in domestic travel continue to support demand. Additionally, improvements in RV technology — particularly in power management and off-grid capability — are broadening the appeal of RV ownership beyond traditional demographics.
Florida’s Continued Leadership in the RV Industry
The success of the 2026 Florida RV SuperShow and Ft. Myers RV Show reinforces Florida’s leadership position within the national RV landscape. With multiple regional shows throughout the season, the state offers consistent touchpoints between manufacturers, dealers, and consumers.
These shows also serve an important economic function. They drive tourism, support local hospitality sectors, generate dealer revenue, and create opportunities for vendor partnerships and workforce engagement. Beyond the transactions, they foster community — bringing together families, retirees, entrepreneurs, and adventurers united by a shared passion for travel.
As planning begins for the 2027 season, the results from Tampa and Ft. Myers provide a clear takeaway: demand remains strong, innovation is accelerating, and consumers continue to view RVing as both a lifestyle choice and a strategic investment in flexibility.
The 2026 Florida RV SuperShow did more than open the show season — it set the tone for sustained growth. And the Ft. Myers RV Show confirmed that momentum carries statewide.
Florida’s RV industry is not simply steady. It is growing.
