Thousands Expected To Attend Pittsburgh RV Show

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- More than 30,000 visitors are expected to see what's new at the Pittsburgh RV Show. The show opens Saturday at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Hundreds of motor homes and trailers pack the convention center for the annual show, including a plush motor home for big spenders.

"This is a 2015 Dutch Star Motor Home diesel pusher made by Newmar," says Steve Parshall of Ashley RV in Duncansville.

He shows off a 43-foot home on wheels, filled with the latest technology. Push a button, and a TV appears right out of the woodwork. Another button narrows the vehicle for highway driving.

"One of the things that's new this year," he adds. "We have a push button awning that has LED lights built in."

Just for the show, it's marked down from its $404,000 price tag.

Turning to trailers, a retro 1941 Shasta was built recently for Clem's RV of Ellwood City.

"Today we have a 2015 Keystone Alpine," says Paul Willis of Cooper's RV in Murrysville, showing off another trailer. It's a rolling residence fit for all seasons.

"It gives you the feeling of full-time living with residential living, with furniture, a fireplace, large television," Willis said.

He then shows us a brand new, two-story trailer.

"This is one of the newer, innovative, two-floor park trailers that somebody might put at a campsite," he says.

It has a second floor bedroom, yet the trailer still fits under the ceilings of Pittsburgh's tunnels.

The eight-day show concludes a week from Sunday.
