Frequently asked questions.
1. Is there a fee to purchase tickets?
Yes, just like other events, the ticketing service, itickets.com, we utilize charges a small amount for each ticket purchased. Here are examples: Adults $15.00 + $1.26 = $16.29; Senior Citizens $10.00 + $1.14 = $11.14; Children $5.00 + $1.00 = $6.00. We attempt to keep our ticket prices as reasonable as possible.
2. Are there other special pricing offers?
We offer special pricing every day for Senior Citizens, First Responders and Active Duty and Retired Military with a valid ID. In addition, if you are a member of an active RV Club, such as The Escapees or FMCA, you can receive a discount ticket price every day. Regular Adult Tickets are $15.00, Special Pricing drops that, as an example, to $10.00, plus the itickets.com ticketing charge.
3. Why can’t I bring my pet?
For the safety of all our patrons and attendees, only service animals are allowed. Any service animal which is observed to be aggressive or unruly will have its owner asked to exit the show-by-show staff or by our security.
4. If I come today, can I come back tomorrow without paying again?
You can in fact come and go during the same day by getting your hand stamped and the hand stamps are changed each day. To come back another day, if you are working with a dealer, ask the dealer for a ‘Dealer Pass’ which will grant you entry the next day or pay to attend just as you did on your original day of entry. If you wish to leave and reenter, simply pause as you exit the track and have your hand(s) stamped where you purchased your entry tickets.
5. Why aren’t all the dealers here?
Not all dealers are members of TRVA, and you must be a member to participate in the show. Some dealers choose to participate, and some do not as it is simply a business decision for the local dealers. Dealers come and go from the show as they anticipate demand for their products.
Multiple dealers were invited to participate. Several of the exhibiting dealers have multiple locations in the Metroplex. Even though it appears there are only six dealers the actual count is much greater. It is our goal to have on display between 300-350 different units presented by multiple dealerships which provide competition and a wide selection to be present for consumers to choose from.
6. Why aren’t more motorhomes, more pop-ups, more teardrops, more toy haulers at the show?
Each participating dealer has a franchise with its manufacturer or manufacturers and chooses to bring a combination of units to the show. In most cases, they bring the inventory that remains from the current year, but they also bring new units from the upcoming year. Regardless, the dealers are very interested in selling RV’s during the show and as such usually have aggressive show pricing. Not all dealers carry motorhomes and demand for towable travel trailers far outweighs that of motorhomes. That is why there are far more trailers than motorhomes in the show.
Used units are available at all our exhibiting dealers’ physical locations, however, Texas State Law prohibits a remote selling show, such as ours, to display used vehicles for sale.
7. What is the franchise system or how does it determine what is displayed in the show?
In Texas, RVs are motor vehicles like the autos which Ford, Chevrolet or Honda franchises to dealers to sell at their locations. When you visit a Honda dealership that dealership is franchised or licensed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to sell and service all Honda products.
In the franchise RV business, unlike the auto franchise business, dealers are not franchised to sell everything Forest River or Thor or Winnebago manufacturers. Instead, RV dealers are franchised by the model or line-makes to only sell certain models produced by those manufacturers.
In the Supershow, a representative dealer may sell a Forest River model but not be franchised to sell another similar model, so don’t expect to visit the show and find everything a particular manufacturer may produce. A show featuring all the models would require at least an exhibit area of 1,000,000 sq ft of exhibit space and have the support of all dealers and manufacturers which is not feasible using the venue.
8. Why can’t I purchase a Motorhome on Sunday?
The State of Texas has a statute which is commonly referred to as The Blue Law. It specifically prohibits the sale of any motor-vehicle for seven consecutive days. This applies to cars, trucks and motorhomes. Dealers can display motorhomes in an approved show such as the Supershow on Sunday, but they are not allowed to discuss pricing or financing or enter any portion of a contract on Sunday.
9. Does the Southwest RV Supershow have ADA accommodations?
Texas Motor Speedway is ADA compliant, and the show aisles are set up to accommodate those who may be mobility impaired. Restrooms are conveniently located in strategic locations across the venue.
Please be advised, RVs are typically built without this accommodation so the person with the impairment will most likely not be able to enter the units on display.
Ask the exhibiting dealer if a unit can be ordered with an ADA accommodation and many can be built to those specifications or modified to meet those needs.
The Information Desk, located near the main entrance, has wheelchairs and a mobility scooter which can be used by attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no charge for using these, but we do hold your driver license until the item is returned.
10. Is there a place where I can see what RVs are there prior to coming to the show?
Not specifically. You can go to each dealers’ link on this website and see and view all the manufacturers they represent and the units that they have on hand. We recommend calling a dealer prior to or during the show to determine if they have what you are looking for specifically.
On this website you will find a list of what our dealers plan to bring and display at the show. Remember, dealers must make on the spot decisions about what to bring depending upon availability and demand so changes to this list may be made without notice.
During the show, you will be provided with a guide listing all the dealers, their locations and the units on display. This of course is subject to last-minute changes and is intended to serve only as a guide. If a dealer sells a specific unit prior to the show, it most likely will not be in the show.
11. Why aren’t all the models I want to see, i.e., Class-A motorhomes, in one location?
The Supershow features different dealers who bring to the show the units they anticipate consumers will want to see or purchase. Our exhibiting dealers rent the space from TRVA and then assemble their units within that space. If units were centralized by models the dealers would need to have sales personnel spread across the venue and dealers just do not have the sales personnel to cover such a widespread area.
Consumers should consult the show program for specific models and where those are located. The information desk near the entrance, is staffed by TRVA personnel and can assist in locating units by model, manufacturer or dealer.
12. Why are there less vendors than in prior years, specifically fewer vendors selling RV accessories?
TRVA attempts to recruit many different vendors for the show, however, the pandemic caused many of these companies to go out of business or stop doing shows. Some say they don’t need shows to sell their products or services but believe us we do try to find RV centric vendors for the show.
Several dealers do bring representatives and products from their parts departments and set up displays near their exhibit areas. Ask dealers if they have items which you are specifically interested in seeing or discussing.
13. I had an unrecognized charge between September 12-15, 2026, which reads “ITECKETS what is that for?
If you attended the Southwest RV Supershow and paid for your entry by credit card you will have a charge which reads “…ITICKETS…” and you may not recognize the charge but it is for the RV show in November 2026 at Texas Motor Speedway.
14. Who do I call if you have any questions?
TRVA Information Desk for general show information: Gracie (512) 840-9000
Media Inquiries: Wayne (214) 563-8585.
15. Who owns the Southwest RV Supershow?
The Southwest RV Supershow is owned by the Texas Recreational Vehicle Association, aka, TRVA, which is headquartered in Austin, TX. If there is surplus after all expenses are paid, the surplus passes to the association, not the dealers or any individual promoter, like other shows.
16. What is TRVA?
TRVA is a nonprofit, 501(C)6, trade association for the RV industry in the State of Texas. It is our mission to work with the State of Texas and its regulatory agencies, finance and insurance companies and other entities to help Texas franchise dealers with issues which impact the RV industry.
The association also works with manufacturers of RVs, both motorhomes and towable, to ensure that manufacturer - dealer relationships are on an even footing. This benefit became apparent in 2008-2009 when the industry went through a major upheaval with a complete realignment of manufacturing ownership with the bankruptcy of many manufacturers. Our goal is to work for the interests of the dealers and their customers.
TRVA was founded in 1974 and celebrates its 53rd anniversary in 2026. Its board of directors is composed of all the facets of the RV industry in the State of Texas
Camping Rate is $50 per night, with a two-night minimum.
There will be a parking area for RVs which are intended for appraisal only, and those will be parked near the Texas Motor Speedway, Credential Building, 3601 Victory Circle, Fort Worth, TX 76177. Look for signage on where to park a motor home or travel trailer.
