Exclusive NIRVC Motorhome Expo Underway Near Nashville
LEBANON, Tenn. – Just a few miles off Nashville’s bustling strip of honky tonks and music venues, a new breed of RV show is quietly making its debut.
The Wilson County Fairgrounds and the National Indoor RV Centers are hosting the 2024 Music City Motorhome Expo. But if you’re expecting a huge show packed with thousands ofpotential buyers with lots of first-timers with pie-in-the-sky expectations, move along.
This show is far more selective. Small but significant.
“We’ve already exceeded our expectations,” NIRVC CEO Brett Davis told RVBusiness on Tuesday afternoon. “Tickets for the consumers are $1,500 and we only sold two tickets for each unit on display. So the people who are here are extremely serious buyers.”
Davis said the event will not be crowded and will be what he described as a setting that will be ideal for intimate discussions and allow potential buyers plenty of individual time with product experts and financial partners. Customers even will be able to test drive any unit on display.

Interior, Ag Depts. Invest $2.8 Billion to Protect Public Lands
WASHINGTON D.C.— The Departments of the Interior and Agriculture announced a proposed investment of $2.8 billion in fiscal year 2025 through the Great American Outdoors Act(GAOA) to protect and sustain our public lands and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE)-funded schools. Proposed projects will occur in all 50 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and multiple U.S. territories.
In August 2020, GAOA established the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF), authorizing up to $1.9 billion per year from fiscal year 2021 through 2025. GAOA LRF funding addresses overdue maintenance needs for critical facilities and infrastructure in our national parks and forests, national wildlife refuges, recreation areas, and BIE-funded schools. GAOA also provides permanent, full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) at $900 million annually to secure public access and improve recreation opportunities on public lands, protect watersheds and wildlife, and preserve ecosystem benefits for local communities.
Investments from GAOA work in concert with President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to strengthen our nation’s infrastructure and prepare it to meet future needs. These investments are an important part of enabling equitable access to the outdoors and meeting the commitments outlined in the America the Beautiful initiative, which is supporting locally led efforts to restore and conserve at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.
“Addressing the long-delayed maintenance needs of the nation’s aging infrastructure allows safe and equitable access to our outdoor spaces, creates new jobs, and preserves our natural heritage. I was a proud champion of this proposal when I served in Congress, and it has been my honor to see the value it has created through the law’s implementation,” said Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. “Working together with state, local and Tribal governments, we are committed to ensuring that every child, family and community has access to nature and its benefits.”
