I know this is the largest RV show in the country.
Does anyone know what models TM is going to have on display?
I checked the website for the show, but it does not show what's going to be on display for TM.
DW and I are about to order a new TM. We've seen one in Michigan and a used one here in Upstate NY, but would really like to get hands on a 2014 or 2015 model. We are really keen on the 3124KD.
This forum has been the greatest! Thanks to all of you for the information.
 
Randy & Vickie,
Thanks for the reply. I looked at their website and they had no TMs in the inventory. Was really surprised as another thread here mentioned that the "RISE" was going to be on display. We're not interested in the RISE, but really want to see a new TM.
 
When I went last year the factory was there with about five units, a nice variety ,
I would think they will have a similar plan and include the Rise and Silver model.
 
that was the link off of the tm fb page about them being there,, with the rise, I would be sure that more than the rise will be on display, and they will be rdy to take orders, I have had a couple of friends who have got grt deals on there rv's from buying/ordering at trade shows, good luck:)
 
Thanks. Just want to make sure that there will be a few TMs on display before we drive 300 miles.
 
In the past, when other TM dealers showed, they brought a number of models, 4-5. Usually they have a good representation. Those were dealers from PA so I'm not sure what this dealer will do, so give them a call before you go. It is a huge show, including a number of merchants in the Giant Center, enjoy.
Sorry I am going to miss it.
 
I talked to the dealer representing TM.
They plan on having five TMs there: 3124KB, 2922KS, two 2720s, and a RISE. All are silver editions.
 
Here's a few pics I got from the RISE interior at the Hershey show. In pics 1 & 2 you can see the Murphy bed folded up on the wall. Keep in mind that Bob Eickhoff said this is only a prototype and not the finished product.
Cath and I are going to order the 3124KD as soon as my retirement is set. You can see some pics of a 3124 in my next post.

We went to the Hershey RV show on Saturday.
Had the privilege of meeting Bob Eickhoff (TM Factory Owner) and Toby (wish I remembered his last name). They are great folks and spent a lot time with Cath & I talking about TMs.
The TM dealer at the show was Bryant's R.V. from Dallas, PA, also great folks. They demo-ed (and let me) opening and closing a TM. We are really looking forward to ordering our TM (3124KD), just depends on when I retire (2015 or 2016).
The new silver edition TMs are great! LED lighting through-out, great colors, super interior options, and just flat impressive!
Rained all day at the show, but we hardly noticed.

Craig & Cath,

Thanks for posting the photos of the TM's. Thought I would be more impressed with the "Rise" murphy bed set-up. We'll have to see what they end up with, when the production model is actually released.

Glad to hear you liked the 3124 enough to order one once your retired.
Bet you're "chompin at the bit", now that you got a chance to see and play with one a little bit, Huh?

Again, thanks for posting the pics,
 
"Chompin at the bit" is an under statement! I think I've read every post on this site. I'm sold on TMs and can't wait to get started on our "adventure". We did pop-ups for years when the kids were small.
We are so looking forward to retirement. The plan is to leave Upstate NY around the beginning of December (after deer season) and return mid April.
Don't be to disappointed with the pics of the RISE. I think it will be a great weekend camper, but for long trips it will be a little small (storage area). If you have a good size TV (pick-up or large SUV) the RISE will work fine for 1 or 2 people.
 
The murphy bed folding over a sofa was an idea I gave them on my visit. I sent them pics of what another manufacturer had done. We also talked about putting shelves on the bottom of the murphy bed for more storage if they did not use it to go over a sofa. (Funpilot in disguise here so I can see pics until my site sponsorship issue is addressed.)

Here's a thought, If u can afford it, don't wait till u retire. I bought mine before I semiretired and it has been a great experience and a semi hobby. I've learned a lot and now am planning a trip to Alaska when I retire full time next year. Fun way to ease into the next chapter of your lives.
