Largest RV Dealership on I-95 From Maine to Florida

Bill Waits RV Super Center Building In Savannah

Golden Shovels in hand, management and employees of Bill Waits RV Super Center take part in the official groundbreaking ceremonies. With Interstate 95 literally passing by in the backyard of the new Bill Waits RV Super Center, the 25,000 square foot dealership with ten Super Service Bays will offer ‘At-the-exit’ easy access. 

Groundbreaking for the largest RV dealership and service center on the ‘Atlantic Coast Freeway’ took place recently at the site located at Exit 102, I-95 and US 80, near Savannah, Georgia.

Bill Waits RV Super Center, when completed in July, will increase its physical plant and inventory of motor homes, fifth wheels and pull-behind travel trailers by more than two and a half times and will be the largest recreational vehicle dealership and service center located directly adjacent to the East Coast’s most traveled route.

“There is a great deal of motor home traffic passing Savannah on I-95,” according to Bill Waits, owner of Bill Waits RV World, soon to become known as Bill Waits RV Super Center. “With our new 25,000 square foot facilities, we will be able to better accommodate the sales and service needs of the ever-increasing flow of motor home travelers going both North and South, as well as our local customers”, Waits said, using his golden shovel to point toward I-95 traffic passing adjacent to the site.

“Our intention is make our dealership a ‘must-stop’ destination for those RV travelers, and while here, we will help them discover Savannah and encourage them to spend time and money in the area”.

“We also expect to hire up to fifty new employees in the next year in positions of sales, service and support” according to Manny Acosta, General Manager. “We fully expect our business to triple within 2 years”.

Construction has begun on the seven acre site featuring ten Super Service Bays able to accommodate the largest motor homes on the road today for any service needs. “And a well-stocked parts and accessories department to support many other RV names, in addition to our primary brands”, said Acosta.

Bill Waits RV Super Center will continue to offer its major RV brands, including: Winnebago gas and diesel motor homes, Keystone RV, Forest River and Glendale RV. “We will also have the largest inventory of Bill Waits Certified Pre-owned motor homes, fifth wheels and travel trailers on the East Coast, along with parts and service RV owners need to enjoy their lifestyle worry-free”, said Waits.

Bill Waits started in the business at the young age of 12, working for Waits RV Center in Stewart, Florida, the dealership owned by his father. “At shows, he made me wear a name tag that said Ask Me. You learn in a hurry when you have to”, Bill said with a smile. He opened his first RV dealership in 1987 at age 30. The Savannah dealership was opened in 1989.

Bill Waits RV Super Center plans its Grand Opening in July. The public will be invited. “We hope you’ll be seeing some fireworks a few days early this year”, said Bill. RVN
