Cold Michigan air outside, heated show floor inside. If you want to walk a lot of RVs fast and still make a smart decision, you need a plan before you hit Novi. The 60th Annual Detroit RV & Camping Show runs Jan 28 to Feb 1, 2026 at Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Tickets are simple, and the show is packed with everything from compact travel trailers to big fifth wheels.
A quick use-case story from mid-Michigan
A couple from the Lansing area does the Lansing RV & Boat Show first, then circles back for Novi two weeks later. Lansing helps them learn what layouts exist. Novi helps them confirm the one that feels right and get a clean purchase plan set up. It turns two crowded weekends into one calm decision. If you are doing that same run, start here:

What to bring so you do not waste the day
This is the part most people skip, then they end up guessing in the aisle. Bring:
Your tow vehicle info (or at least make, model, year)
A note with driveway length, garage height, and bed length (if towing a fifth wheel)
A short list of must-haves (bunks, slide count, outdoor kitchen, office space)
A phone charger, water, and shoes you can walk in
Price Right RV show pages put it plainly: screenshot your favorite floorplans and bring tow-vehicle or driveway measurements. Do it. Then use these two tools before you arrive:

How to compare floorplans fast (Forest River vs Keystone vs Palomino mindset)
The show floor is a trap if you wander. You will fall in love with the first nice kitchen you see and forget the boring stuff that matters.
Use this comparison loop:
- Walk the layout, do not read brochures yet.
- Stand in the kitchen aisle: can two people pass each other?
- Sit on the dinette: can adults fit without knees hitting?
- Test the bed access: can you get to both sides?
- Bathroom test: can you close the door comfortably?
- Storage test: where does the gear actually go?
Do this on the brands we carry, then pick the layout that wins:
- Forest River lines like Cherokee (Wolf Pup, Grey Wolf, Alpha Wolf, Arctic Wolf)
- Keystone lines like Montana and Montana High Country
- Palomino lines like SolAire and Backpack Edition
Brand matters, but layout decides whether you keep the RV for two seasons or ten.
The soft close: come see us in Novi, then shop smart after
