One of the additional benefits of selling recreational park trailers are the profitable add-on products that make a lot of sense to the consumer who has just purchased their new RV. One of the most popular options are three-season rooms that add additional space and enjoyment to the RPT.

A recreational park trailer can not exceed 400 square feet, but you can expand the living quarters with the installation of virtually maintenance-free structures that add value to the RPT. One of the leading providers of awnings and room enclosures for RPT’s is Silver-Top Manufacturing Company of White Marsh, Maryland (www.silver-top.com).

Silver-Top has been manufacturing quality, low-maintenance awnings and room enclosures since 1947. Thoughtful design and precision engineering of modular components make it possible for consumers to add additional space, or a complete room at once, to their RPT. In some cases, you can almost double your living space with a room enclosure … a 16’ X 20’ room will provide your customers with 320 additional square feet of living space to the RV.

The most popular Silver-Top model is the Cameo Room, a great three season addition to any RPT. In fact, it’s the one I chose to add-on to our Breckenridge RPT that we enjoy every weekend from May to October at the Wild Duck Campground in Maine.

And in the interest of fair and balanced journalism; I didn’t tell either Breckenridge or Silver-Top about my purchases until they were paid for and set up on my lot.

Purchasers of RPT’s will often add decks, room enclosures, air conditioning, skirting, and even some landscaping to finish off the site improvements at the campground or RV resort. Dealers have an opportunity to provide some or all of these services, or work with local cotractors and earn a commission or finders fee to supplement the customer’s original purchase. RVN
