    I’m thinking about going to the show this weekend. I’m looking at the Otter Outdoors XT1200 Cabin. When you purchase a portable, I’m guessing you get it after the show? If so will they ship it to you? I live on the ND/MN border and if shipping is high it might not be worth the cost of driving to the show.

    Also I was curious what vendors should I be looking for that sell portables.

    Thanks!

    Most, but not all will have them available to pick up right at the show.
    They will direct you how to get to inside loading docks.
    There will be alot of vendors to chose from.
    Just my experience & $.02

    They will have them right at the show, expensive to ship. I would get there as soon as you can as I strongly believe that the Otter’s are going to go fast and you do not want to make the drive and miss out. That is a great choice on house by the way, the only way to go in my opinion. There are many great houses out there but you are buying qaulity with this house. I would be checking with Joes Sporting Goods, Reed Sporting Goods, and Thorne Brothers. They all price competively at the show. It would not hurt to call them and explain your situation- might find out right away- they are always looking for a sale!

    Good luck fishin’

    This is how I got mine last year. Bounce between a few vendors that have your product and pit them against each other to get the best deal. Then take it home. Don’t even consider anyone that doesn’t have the product on hand because there will be plenty of others with onsite inventory.

    Thanks for the information everyone. I’m hoping to get there early Friday afternoon and beat the weekend rush!

    They are having a VIP sale Saturday morning where you could score some additional deals. The VIP tickets are 15 dollars and on a limited amount. However this could save you lots of money. Just a thought.

    See you at the show on Sat and Sun.

    At past shows I have seen store reps take a shelter to your vehicle. I am sure all you have to do is ask.

    Couldn’t you get one cheaper when they have them at a store on sale? Or are you just going to check it out anyway?
    Never been there.
