RVING AT THE EVENT
There are plenty of reasons to plan an RV trip to the Great Alaska Sportsman Show. You may even want to consider planning a road trip from Seattle to Anchorage for the show.
You may also want to consider a rental from RVshare before the show. This allows you to try out RVs and motorhomes to see if they will truly suit you and your family. You'll want to consider the size of the motorhome or trailer, the number of people it sleeps, and the amenities it offers. Renting an RV ahead of time helps you to determine exactly what you want in an RV before making a big purchase.
