I'll be up in Tower City over Spring Break (the week before Easter) visiting family and I'd like to swing by a few of the local dealers say from York to Hazleton to State College to Reading; even Allentown is not out of the question.  Any thoughts on who to and not to see?
Thanks,

Doc

Doc,
Do you know what you are looking for? Popup or Hybrid?  Do you have a manufacture in mind?

If you aren't sure, finding an rv show that has everything is the best start to narrow it down a litlle.

At this point we know what we want but we're open to the manufacturer.  A PUP would be ideal though I did check out some of the new HB at our local RV Show but again a USED PUP is our choice of camper.  Since the family will be in Nebraska I'm looking just to see what they have on the lot that they haven't yet put online.  I know there's one off 22 by the Colonial Mall on the north side of Harrisburg and one on the east side of York but there must be more especially around State College or out by Schuylkill Haven or Pottsville area.  I know I can find several down by Philly but that's too far out of my way.  I'll be staying up in Tower City about 35 min., north of Harrisburg off I-81 or Rt. 325 N. 

Now realize this was where I grew up so I know my way around and finding something out around Hershey, Reading, Millersburg or Wilkes-Barrie isn't a problem though that's a bit far out for a single day trip.

Any dealer might have the right used popup as a trade but I don't think Grumbines is what you are looking for, they have 200 campers and 4 of them are popup.  Where Fretz has 33 popup (new and used)

Grumbines RV is north of Harrisburg

Tom Schaeffers RV is off 78 near Cabelas

Keystone RV is off 81 near the Maryland border 9south)

Lerch RV is near State College (west)

Fretz in south of Allentown (east)

Thanks everyone, I knew I asked the right group.
This is not unlike Christmas shopping for just the right toy.

Yep, and lots of these places show all their units with pics of both the inside and the outside online

If you stop at Fretz, Indian Valley RV is a mile away. Also Media Camping Center on 309 down the road a bit more in Hatfield.

I'll add Beckley's, Thurmont MD, 20 miles or so S of Gettysburg on Rt 15. Not PA but if your traveling up from Florida it may be worth your while.
Good people there. Coachmen and Somerset are what they carry.

And I'll also recommend Fretz, I didn't buy from them, but they were very helpful in emails and phone calls while doing research. If I would have went with a Jayco I more than likely would have bought there, instead of the local Jayco dealers out here in western PA.

See I knew the place to look for the answers; you guys are a wealth of knowledge, thanks.

Oh and "Old G" I normally head up I-95 right into Inner Harbor Baltimore and p/u I-83 taking it into Harrisburg so Gettysburg is another 2 hours out of my way.  If I'd go through Philly and then take the Turnpike or either 322 or 422 the I'd be fine but that's out of the way.  Still, thanks and if I swing through Delaware to visit my cousin I'll look them up since I'll go through Wilmington and take the Paoli Pike around and then I can use Rt 1 to make my way toward Gettysburg.

Again everyone thank you.

Doc
