Bobby Combs Participates in North Idaho RV Expo Jan. 22-25

Bobby Combs RV Centers will staff booths and display units at the North Idaho RV & Outdoor Adventure Expo at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds in Coeur d’Alene, a four-day event running Jan. 22–25. The show brings new and used travel trailers, fifth wheels, truck campers and related gear to a central venue, offering area residents a concentrated chance to compare models and financing without driving across multiple lots.

The expo opens 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Jan. 22–24 and 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Jan. 25. Admission and parking are free, and complimentary lunch will be served 11 a.m.–2 p.m. on Jan. 23–24. Bobby Combs will draw from its regional network, with staff and inventory staged from its Hayden and Coeur d’Alene locations and the broader Caldwell network. Participating makes named for the show include Opus, Forest River, Coachmen, Catalina, Passport, Hideout, Ibex, MPG and Cedar Creek, among others.

Organizers say the event mixes retail opportunity with community programming: manufacturer representatives and on-site financing options will sit alongside outdoor-gear vendors, food booths, giveaways and educational seminars on RV maintenance, safety and seasonal travel. "The North Idaho RV & Outdoor Adventure Expo includes displays of floor plans and financing options from participating dealers." For shoppers weighing trade-offs between slide-out configurations, payload capacity and winter readiness, the expo concentrates comparisons in one place and shortens the research-to-purchase timeline.

The local economic effect is layered. Beyond direct sales for dealers on site, the expo is likely to generate ancillary spending at restaurants, hotels and service businesses in Kootenai County as visitors from surrounding markets attend. Free admission and lunchtime draws are designed to increase dwell time, which tends to boost vendor transactions and on-site financing take-up. For Bobby Combs and other dealers, the show functions as inventory clearing and a marketing funnel that can influence seasonal pricing and dealer financing offers.

From a market perspective, a lineup that ranges from compact campers to higher-end Cedar Creek units signals that dealers are targeting both weekend campers and buyers seeking long-term seasonal or full-time rig solutions. Local buyers can evaluate warranty and service options in person, an important consideration given Idaho’s seasonal weather and the maintenance demands of winter travel.

For Kootenai County residents, the expo offers immediate access to models and financial terms while stimulating local commerce. Beyond this weekend’s sales, the event will inform inventory moves and financing strategies for dealers in the months ahead, shaping what’s available at local lots for spring buying season.
