What is really happening in the RV dealership world right now, and what does it mean for RV buyers and owners?
We call it The Great RV Dealership Land Grab... Why Bigger isn't Necessarily Better.
In Episode 589 of the RV Podcast News Edition, we break down the dealership consolidation wave reshaping the RV industry, from Camping World's financial struggles and leadership shakeup to the rapid expansion of Blue Compass, General RV, and Campers Inn. We explain who is winning, who is hurting, and why bigger is not always better when it comes to service, pricing, inventory, and your overall RV buying experience.
Also in this episode: fuel prices are spiking just as spring travel season begins, national parks are heading into peak season with fewer staff, and a California county may become the first in the state to officially allow full-time RV living on private property.
Join us live for the Spring Prep Workshop on Thursday, March 12 at 7 PM Eastern.
