Time to start loving Camping World

[Diesel Pusher]

The Woodland WA Lazy Days location is less than 2 years old. When you see a few RVs spaced more than 20' apart on the sales lot facing I-5, you just know either sales aren't going as planned or they can't finance inventory. Other, smaller dealers in the Vancouver & Portland areas (20 miles away) have much more inventory on their lots. I doubt the Oak Grove OR (Portland) location is doing much better. I suspect the Woodland real estate with new buildings and service bays are worth more than the business.

Seems that "LazyDays" is keeping 8 locations, and from their map, three of them are the ones located in Florida!
My guess, these would be the best "profit potential" locations. Especially like the Tampa location, with the huge "RV Park"!!
Is this just the first of several changes within the "RV" Industry? More "dominoes" may yet be falling?

The RV park at the Tampa location closed a year+ ago. At first they communicated they were going to renovate, then messaging changed to permanent closure.

WOW! I did not realize that! And that place has like 400+ sites, if I remember correctly!
Not good for the Tampa area.
And then the Tampa Super Show is not allowing the RV manufacturers to have "camping sites" for the show!
The RV Industry must be suffering big time! Not sure I'm even going to the show this year, and have been for the last 5 years!

7 Lazy day locations are selling to Camping world.
1 lazy day location is selling to "some one else"---- from the articles above.

Tampa is my guess as well. This would not give them Newmar Territory, so there would have to be other negotiations and or deals taking place.

Any late breaking information on who the "someone else" is that is buying the 8th location??
