Northwest RVing
The Northwest RVing Blog site is hosted by MHRV (Manufactured Housing and Recreational Vehicle) Show Association. Each year, MHRV presents three important trade shows in the greater Seattle area to promote and display the RV Lifestyle. We are all about RVing and hope you will enjoy the many articles posted here about RVing in general and about our upcoming shows.
The Biggest Summer RV Event

The inaugural Enumclaw RV Show will be held August 1st – 4th, 2019 at the Enumclaw Expo Center. This is the only multi-dealer RV show in Western Washington this summer featuring the majority of dealers from King and Pierce counties. This is the perfect opportunity to see and compare hundreds of RVs in one location plus learn more about the RV lifestyle. With multiple dealers competing for your business it is undoubtedly the best opportunity to purchase an RV before the Labor Day camping weekend.
What can you expect to see and do at the 2019 show? Let’s take a look.

It was not that long ago that we were tumbling down the stairs as we pushed our way through our brothers and sisters to get the prime seats in our family Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon. We were soon heading down the highway to our nation’s National Parks! Having our Highway Bingo cards in our laps as we crossed off the license plates of the cars we saw on our way to Yellowstone, we passed many miles with our family.

Building Family Memories - Next Generation

Editor's Note - Congratulations to Emily and her husband Brad delivering a healthy baby girl on June 24th. Another little happy camper!
With baby number two soon on the way we’ve been taking our trailer out a lot this month to get some quality time with our family of three. Three times already! This trip took us to the church family camp of my husband’s church growing up. He’s been attending this since he was young so it’s been something our little family has enjoyed for years too. Now with our own little one we’ve been glad to carry on the tradition and watch him enjoy this time to the fullest. Our son loves being outside and exploring so we were really looking forward to enjoying this trip together and watching our precious little Nolan make memories at a place so near and dear to our hearts.
Make Your Camping Meals an Event

Camping well and eating well simply go hand in hand. There’s just something about eating a great meal that’s been prepared outside as you enjoy being outside. Why not make a meal as epic as your surroundings? You don’t need to spend a lot of money on fancy outdoor gadgets, many of the same pots, and pans you use every day make the transition to camp cooking just fine. Bring whole foods, real plates and cups, and your “A Game,” … and maybe a few wash tubs.
