“Every award ultimately comes back to our people,” said Brad Walden, President of Southern RV. “We have an incredible team that cares about doing things the right way. Our goal isn’t simply to sell an RV. It’s to build relationships with our customers and be there for them throughout their ownership experience. We invest more in service and process, customer care, and elements to benefit the RV ownership lifestyle than we do in marketing or many other components of our dealerships.”
The RVBusiness Top 50 program recognizes dealerships throughout the United States and Canada for professionalism, consumer care, business practices, civic involvement and industry participation. Selection involves manufacturer nominations, dealer applications and evaluation by RV industry judges.
