Feature Story

Services Pioneers Team Up To Expand
Opportunities for RV Dealers and Consumers

RVSales.com, RVTraderOnline.com, and RVAmerica have announced plans to form an affiliation designed to broaden services to RV consumers and RV dealers across the U.S.

The new partnership, was featured at this year’s RVDA convention in Las Vegas, Nev., and will offer RV Dealers who participate in the RV America Web Services program broadened distribution of their online RV listings. That will be possible through RV America’s addition of the growing RVSales.com Website to its list of sites featuring its dealer listings.

RV dealers who participate in this program will also have the opportunity to add other services offered by RVSales.com. Those services are designed to increase existing income and to expand RV dealers’ roles into the largely untapped private party arena.

The arrangement will also offer consumers, who place classified advertisements through RVSales.com, an upgrade option that enables their ads to display on RVTraderOnline.com. This option will provide additional buyer-lead opportunities for those sellers through the “Trader” branded Website.

As part of the arrangement, an RVTraderOnline.com post-ad, e-mail campaign will enable consumers who place classified RV listings at its Website to access enhanced services created by RVSales.com. The services, created to help consumers sell their RVs privately, offer optional assistance of RVSales.com participating dealers and will include a standardized pre-purchase inspection, coupled with 90 day/3,000 mile mechanical protection coverage coined “Inspect & Protect”, repairs, training, financing programs, and transaction closings via dealers‚ F&I departments. The process also enables dealers to purchase private RVs that have passed inspection, or to agency them to their own buyers.

According to Tim Custer, general manager for RV America Web Services Group, “We are excited about this new relationship with RVSales.com. Our focus has always been to provide the best results for visitors looking to buy and sell RV’s. Our added emphasis today includes providing our dealer customers with new and useful tools to help grow their businesses. The RVSales.com relationship compliments both of these objectives at the same time.”

“We view the new relationship as a benchmark of tremendous opportunity for both companies”, said Bruce Caico, president of RVSales.com. “Our business model is designed to help facilitate safe and efficient transactions for hundreds of thousands of consumers who buy and sell RVs privately, through processes that include the professional services of RV dealers, at levels consumers can choose. Through our innovative processes, coupled with RVTraderOnline.com‚s marketplace dominance in bringing buyers and sellers together, we can pave the way to better, first-time RV buying experiences. And that is good for the entire industry.”

RVSales.com, LLC, a foremost Internet recreational vehicle services company, provides programs created to enhance safety and efficiency for Private RV buyers and sellers. Through its offerings of consolidated online transactional processes, the Company integrates the professional services of reputable, member RV Dealers and direct financial services partners. Its programs offer access to a broadened customer base for its dealers and partners, while enabling a system that’s designed to improve the firsttime buying experience of consumers.
