IDEAL VALENTINE EVENT: Detroit Camper & RV Show

If you ask me what I really want to do for Valentine's Day weekend, I'd say shop for RVs. I'm not even kidding. It happens every year this same weekend. Go, it'll change your life.



February 8-12, 2012
On Grand River, south of I-96 between Novi Road and Beck Road.

2-9 p.m. Thursday-Friday
11 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday
11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday
$9, $8 seniors, free to children 12 and younger.

More than 250 new recreation vehicles -- including folding campers, motor homes, travel trailers, truck campers and fifth-wheel travel trailers -- will be on display for the Michigan Association of Recreation Vehicles and Campgrounds Camper and RV Show at Suburban Collection Showplace.

"We offer this show in February and in October, and we anticipate having about 20,000 people," says Bill Sheffer, director of MARVAC. "We'll offer everything for the camping lifestyle, and we will have representatives from campgrounds and financial institutions for on-site RV financing."
