The 2024 Elkhart RV Open House opened its doors under overcast skies and mild temperatures, setting the stage for an exciting first day of the RV industry’s largest trade-only event. Dealers, manufacturers, and suppliers gathered to showcase the latest trends in recreational vehicles, with a special focus on small, single-axle lightweight travel trailers aimed at hitting lower price points while maintaining efficiency.

Among the highlights were new designs for destination trailers, as multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) debuted their latest interpretations of this growing market segment. These models promise more versatility and comfort for those seeking long-term stays in scenic spots, providing a fresh perspective on modern RV living.

Despite the looming forecast of rain, the atmosphere remained lively, capped off by an evening concert featuring Collective Soul, hosted by Grand Design RV Co. The musical performance brought a spirited close to the first day’s activities, creating a sense of camaraderie within the industry.

As attendees look ahead to Day Two, there’s anticipation for more product reveals and insightful discussions about the evolving landscape of RV travel. Rain or shine, the excitement surrounding innovation and new possibilities continues to drive the energy at this year's event.
