We went on Wednesday, got there a little after noon, should have left earlier. Came from East of Ft. Myers and up 75. Pretty good traffic jam at Tampa.
$6 to park and $9 each to get in. Gave wife a $20 to get us a hot dog while I held our Lab, she came back and said "We'll starve first". $9 for a shriveled up hot dog.
Probably wouldn't do it again. Sea of humanity and nowhere to park, we finally parked on the side of the road and I worried all day that someone with a big rig would take the side of my truck out. Saw a motorhome where someone had got too close and busted the mirror and folded it against the windshield.
All I wanted to buy was a shade cloth, every vendor said "we didn't bring any but we have some at the store". Ended up stopping at Lazy Days when we left and paying a lot more than I wanted to for one just because the day had beaten me down.
My big Lab drug me all over the fairgrounds, he was so excited to see all the people and the other dogs. I must have said Heel a thousand times.
We went specifically to see a 317rlok and a 336 fbok in person and we got that done, that was all that made the trip worth it.
Wife fell in love with the 336fbok, go figure, but said either one would do. We have eliminated all other brands and models now outside of these 2 fifth wheels.
