January marks the start of the busy season for RV Shows in the U.S. and the Tampa RV Show is one of the most popular and largest Florida RV shows. Branded as the Florida RV SuperShow hosted by the Florida RV Trade Association (FRVTA), the 2026 show will be held January 14th through 18th at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
Joe and I have been to the Tampa RV Show five times since we started RVing and it remains to be one of our favorite RV shows to attend. Whether you’re shopping for an RV, doing RV research for a future upsize or downsize, or checking out new and essential RV gear, the Tampa RV Show in Florida is a fun RV show to attend complete with fair foods and entertainment.

Tips for Attending the Show
Navigating a large RV show like this one can be overwhelming. Here are some tips on how to make the most out of your time at the January Florida RV Show in Tampa:
- Wear comfortable shoes. This is the largest RV show in Florida and there is a quite a bit of ground to cover if you intend to walk the entire show. If you’re not camping on site, consider bringing a second pair of shoes in case the weather changes. It could be warm and sunny one day and cold and rainy the next day.
- Review the show layout. Take some time to look at the map of the RV show so you can plan your day or days. You can also download the map onto your mobile device for quick reference on site.
- Take notes and photos. Attending such a large RV show can quickly result in information overload. Take notes and photos to help you remember what you liked.
- Bring a tape measure. There have been many times where we wanted to know the exact measurements of a space or item at the show. For example, if you want a composting toilet in the RV, having the exact measurements of the toilet or the space its going into will be very handy.

Our Tampa RV Show Experiences
We’ve gone to the Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa quite a few times and it continues to impress with the number of RVs, products, resorts and everything in between that is on display. To say the RV SuperShow is huge would be an understatement.
For anyone looking to buy an RV or RV accessories, this show is the perfect one-stop destination to explore a wide range of options. While it may not feature every manufacturer or model, the selection is so extensive that it’s nearly impossible to cover everything in a single day. If you’re serious about making a purchase, we recommend planning to spend at least 2–3 days at the show.
